Your Real Father Is Waiting | A Spiritual Truth

Christian fatherhood, Father's Day, Abba Father, the Heavenly Father, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to know God as Father? In this special 100th episode of The Valiant Forge, Mark Osborne explores the Father's heart, the meaning of Abba, the Prodigal Son, and why your relationship with your earthly father doesn't have to define your relationship with God. When I was 14 years old, I watched Jesus completely transform my father. After years of struggling with alcohol, one encounter with Christ changed everything. The next morning he was sitting at the kitchen table with a Bible open in front of him, smiled, hugged me, and told me he loved me. In that moment, I knew God had to be real.
