In this powerful recording, Evangelist Theodore Jones explores the spiritual and natural responsibilities of fatherhood. Moving beyond the cultural celebration of Father’s Day, Jones challenges men to examine their roles through the lens of scripture and personal accountability. He emphasizes that while "any man can be a father," true fatherhood requires a willingness to die for one’s family, walk in love with a spouse, and—most importantly—point children toward Jesus Christ.

Key Discussion Points:

  • The Power of Example: Evangelist Jones shares the profound impact of his own father, Arthur Janes Bonham, who taught him to walk in the "beauties of holiness". He stresses that children often mimic their parents' behaviors, making it vital for fathers to live a holy life before them.
  • A Personal Journey of Reconciliation: Jones opens up about his own childhood, growing up without his mother and with a father who was incarcerated. He recounts how God purged bitterness from his heart and calls on estranged fathers to reconcile with their children, moving from being mere "sperm donors" to active, godly providers.
  • The Sacrifice of Fatherhood: Drawing from Genesis 22, the episode explores the story of Abraham and Isaac. Jones uses this "covenant" relationship to illustrate how a father’s obedience to God’s word creates a roadmap for the next generation.
  • The Ministry of Reconciliation: Based on 2 Corinthians 5:18, Jones discusses the divine mandate for fathers to reconcile their families to God. He encourages fathers to provide not just material things, but the "revelation and knowledge of Jesus Christ".

Featured Scriptures:Genesis 22:7-18: The trial of Abraham’s faith and the provision of the ram.

2 Corinthians 5:17-18: Becoming a new creature and the ministry of reconciliation.

Isaiah 43:11: The oneness and sovereignty of God.


Call to Action: Evangelist Jones concludes with a heartfelt appeal to the "young generation" and fathers alike to turn their hearts toward Jesus. He also offers a special blessing for the upcoming Father’s Day, encouraging families to honor the men who have nurtured and guided them.
