Listen "This Fatherhood Research Validates Latter-day Saint "Family Proclamation" | Dr. Timothy Rarick E0035"
Episode Synopsis
Is fatherhood just underappreciated, or is it under attack?
Thirty years ago, The Family: A Proclamation to the World declared that fathers are to preside, provide, and protect. Today, fatherhood is mocked, minimized, or erased altogether.
We’ve gone quiet—afraid the truth is too controversial, the standard too high, the damage already done.
But Dr. Tim Rarick makes a powerful case: the world doesn’t need perfect dads—it needs present ones.
The Proclamation isn’t a list of impossible expectations. It’s a rescue plan, a reminder of who we are, and who we’re meant to become.
Because the more fathers stay silent to avoid failure, the more we contribute to the very collapse we were called to prevent.
