In an open letter to dads from Pastor Dave Carl, he wants to say Congratulations! If you are a dad by adoption, by foster care, by unofficial adoption, or by procreating, welcome! You have now become a superhero. You don’t get to refuse or shy away. It is not optional—you simply have taken on the role of a man who will shape the heart, mind, and soul of a child. You do not need to be a perfect dad. In fact, that would be a mistake. Strive to be a pretty good dad. Guys who want to be a super dad are going to all that trouble just for themselves. Relax and just be a pretty good dad. It’s easier, more fun, and much more effective. What does it look like to be a “pretty good dad”?
