I just watched the Movie “Courageous.” It was not only good clean entertainment, it was a powerful message about the importance of the role Dad’s play in the lives of their children. In the movie, the main character comes up with a “resolution” to be a more godly influence. That “resolution” from the movie is published below. You can read a detailed review of the movie here. I plan to strive to keep this resolution. I challenge dads everywhere to join me.
