Can I just say I hate the “my job is to provide” train of thought? I don’t think there’s been a more destructive lie to Christian fatherhood than the idea of “my job is to provide.” Because at least anecdotally, what I’ve noticed is that this phrase is essentially code for “I make sure the kids are fed and there is a roof over everyone’s head and the bills are paid, so I don’t need to do anything else.”
