Traditionally, the father’s main role has been boiled down to 3 main categories: Protector, Provider, and Disciplinarian.  And while those 3 categories are vital to a family’s system, it has only been in the past several decades where we have seen fathers take on a more active role in their homes. Historically, men’s identities were heavily tied to their careers.

Recently in a lesson with a girls group I am involved in, we discussed wisdom.  One of the questions that was posed was, ‘What is the difference between being smart and being wise?’  We explored this and agreed that being smart is learning information or having knowledge, but that being wise is taking the knowledge you have combined with your experiences to make good choices.
