93%: The Role of Fathers in Leading Families to Faith

FAITH

When you hear disturbing or life-altering news, what’s your first reaction? Too often, we (myself included) respond by thinking, “What can I do?” or we might jump to the worst-case scenario. But as followers of Christ, we know what our first response should be: turn to Jesus.
He knows, He cares, and He is never surprised by anything we face. Instead of letting worry consume us, let’s remember to pray and trust in His divine plan. In moments of uncertainty, let’s lean into His peace and wisdom, knowing that He walks with us every step of the way.

FAMILY

This is for the dads out there: your role in leading your family spiritually is more significant than you might realize.

Here are some compelling statistics:

• When a child is the first in a family to find faith in Christ, only 5% of the time does the rest of the family follow.

• When a mother is the first to find faith in Christ, the family follows 22% of the time.

• However, when a father is the first to find faith in Christ, the family follows an incredible 93% of the time.

Dads, your leadership matters. Your decision to pursue a relationship with Christ can have a lasting ripple effect on your entire household. Your faith could be the foundation that transforms generations to come.

This week marks a crucial moment for America’s health future. On Wednesday, January 29th, at 10:00 AM, the Senate Finance Committee will hold a nomination hearing to consider Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

• Environmental toxins

• Overmedication

DeepSeek Sends $1 Trillion Shockwave Through the Economy

The AI industry is reeling after Chinese startup DeepSeek unveiled its R1 model, which matches the performance of OpenAI’s systems at a fraction of the cost. The aftermath has been swift and devastating:

• Nvidia saw its stock value plummet by $500 billion—the largest single-day loss in U.S. stock market history.

• Investors are questioning the sustainability of pumping billions into AI when a rival can release cutting-edge models for free with an open-source license.

Ripple Effects
AI stocks, which had been steadily climbing for months, are now facing serious uncertainty. Startups may be forced to reconsider their reliance on expensive training processes. Simply throwing more compute at AI models may no longer be economically viable.

And DeepSeek isn’t done. On Monday, they unveiled yet another game-changing model. As the industry scrambles to adapt, we are witnessing the dawn of a new chapter in AI development. Will this mark a turning point in how AI is funded, built, and accessed? Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story.
