Title: Celebrating Birth Fathers
Topic: Father’s Day
Discussed by Paul Batura
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org

Birth fathers rarely play a starring role in abortion AND adoption. And this needs to change.

Paul Batura and wife, Julie, are the proud parents of three boys, all of whom they adopted. They are grateful for their boys’ biological parent’s decision of adoption and not abortion.

To read Paul’s op-ed on this topic, click here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do many boyfriends pressure girlfriends to do something they regret for the rest of their lives?

What words of encouragement does Paul have for the birth fathers that supported the adoption of their child?

Has Paul met the biological fathers for his three sons? If they happened upon Paul’s home, what would they see?

Why did Paul’s mother teach him the importance of cultivating a beautiful mind? Why has this stuck with him during his adult life? Paul remembers the Apostle Paul’s words in Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

What prayer does Paul pray with his boys every night at bedtime?

What words of encouragement does Paul have for women who have found themselves in a crisis pregnancy?

Title: Dad, What is Important to YOU?
Topic: Father’s Day
Discussed by Bill Courtney
with Against the Grain (www.CoachBillCourtney.com)

Part 1 of 2

Bill Courtney is famously known for turning a group of inner-city Memphis teens into a highly motivated football team. “Undefeated” is an Academy award-winning movie about his inspiring story.

Bill says that Father’s Day should be a time for dad’s to reflect on what is really important to them. Yes, fathers are usually the bread-winner in the family. Yes, fathers must often work late and might miss half of baseball season. Yes, fathers often-times just want to rest on the couch at the end of a long day and not play dress-up with their 3 year old princess.

Bill challenges fathers to really dig deeper, though. Listen in to hear what he has to say.

with Against the Grain (www.CoachBillCourtney.com)

Dads – are you teaching your kids the right values? I mean – really, really teaching them? Are you leading my example? Or are you a “do as I say, not as I do” kind of dad?Guest Bill Courtney is not trying to make you feel. We are human. We are not perfect. As dads, we will mess up. A lot. Bill says there are certain aspects of raising children that dads should really focus on.

For example, are you showing your children the value of hard work by encouraging them to earn their own money? Are you teaching them to live up to their commitments by not letting them quit ballet mid-year? Here’s a kicker: Do you tell your children you are sorry when you do mess up?
