Fatherhood After 50: Setting the Example  for Young Men | GenXpert (#0035)

Christian fatherhood for Gen X dads means leading by example while raising teenage sons in a faith-filled home. Rick Carman of GenXpert shares the real challenges of modeling work ethic, purpose, and daily faith—especially as a retired military dad with Parkinson’s—urging fathers over 50 to make God a constant family presence, stay in the Word, avoid social media comparisons, and guide the next generation of men through prayer, Bible reading, and intentional discipleship.#ChristianFatherhood #GenXDads #RaisingTeenageSons #LeadByExample #FaithBasedParenting #ChristianParentingTips #WorkEthic #BibleStudyForKids #MenOfFaith #GenXpert
