How have you experienced the effects of a father’s influence—for good or bad? Israel’s King David was a great leader, a “man after God’s own heart.” But he was a lousy father. The Bible provides an honest portrayal of David, including the great damage he caused by his failure as a dad.

It’s all too easy to get lost in binging shows and scrolling for hours that we forget our kids are being raised in this culture. Addictions and immoral media corrupt our souls.
