# Episode 10: The Fatally Friendless Father

"Dads need friends. Not football buddies, or golf partners, or even 'family friend' dads you chat with while your kids play in the yard—though all of those could be candidates. You see, we often use the word 'friend' to describe our common-interest acquaintances when what we really need is 'battle brothers' who know our worst and hope in Christ for our best. Christian fathers need the rare treasure of active, godly friendships. Hobbling along in your Christian life without them could be spiritually fatal." Caleb French
