(cont'd from yesterday's post)
These dads are not experts. They were not trained by experts to handle crises or advise teenagers or counsel other people's kids. They probably don't even have extraordinary wisdom. They are probably ordinary dads who have learned a thing or two in their lives.
So often we don't think we can make a difference because . . we're not experts, we don't have a degree, we don't have a certificate of training, etc. But we can offer what we do have and sometimes it's enough.
Maybe we can find a way to make a difference. John Stonestreet says we should ask ourselves these four questions:
- what good can I celebrate?
- what evil must I oppose?
- what's broken that I can fix?
- what's missing that I can offer?
Note: this story and its video (yesterday's post) went viral with 10 million views because it's regular people taking action to address a real problem without despair, without blaming others
