With Father’s Day on Sunday, Russell reflects on some of the most memorable conversations from the Russell Moore Show about fathers, sons, parenting, loss, and what it means to call God our Father.

Along the way, Tim Alberta remembers a father whose grace ran deeper than disagreement. Eddie Glaude Jr. recalls the words his parents used to shield his soul from hatred. Beth Moore shares how she learned to trust God as Father despite a painful childhood. Richard Reeves explains why young men need father figures—and why communities need them. Karen Swallow Prior offers wisdom for those carrying the grief of infertility. Lecrae reflects on learning that his children's love is not something to be earned, and Allen Levi points to the quiet saints who shape lives through ordinary faithfulness.
Some listeners will celebrate Father's Day with gratitude. Others will approach it with grief, disappointment, longing, or complicated memories. This conversation makes room for all of it. Because whether our earthly fathers were present or absent, wise or wounded, Jesus reveals the Father we have been searching for all along—the one who looks at his children and says, "You are my beloved."
