Father’s Day has a way of bringing up a lot for us. For some, it evokes gratitude and fond memories. For others, it stirs grief, disappointment, or unanswered questions. Yet regardless of our personal story, most of us continue searching throughout our lives for what a healthy father represents: safety, wisdom, protection, guidance, and unconditional love. We seek it in parents, partners, teachers, political leaders, spiritual communities, and even in our ideas about God. Which raises an intriguing question: Who’s your daddy?

The answer gets even more interesting when we look at our culture. We worship youth, vitality, and perfect bodies, while simultaneously celebrating and mocking the “Dad Bod.” We joke about it, and yet many people find it strangely attractive. Why? Because beneath our fascination with appearance lies a deeper longing. Most of us aren’t really searching for another six-pack. We’re searching for stability. Presence. Authenticity. Someone who will stay with us when life gets messy. Someone who will tell us it’s going to be okay. Beneath the attraction is a spiritual hunger for belonging, connection, and care.

The same dynamic shows up in religion. For centuries, God has often been portrayed as an all-powerful male authority figure—a divine father in the sky. Yet New Thought invites us to look deeper. What if the Father Principle is not a person but a spiritual quality available within each of us? What if the wisdom, strength, courage, and direction we’ve been seeking “out there” are actually seeking expression through us? Jesus pointed to this possibility when he said, “The Father and I are one.” He wasn’t teaching dependence; he was teaching alignment.

This Sunday, we’ll take a playful and profound journey through Father’s Day, Daddy culture, Marvel superheroes, ancient myths, Dad Bods, and our collective search for power, belonging, and identity. Along the way, we’ll explore how to reclaim the Divine Father within—the source of wisdom, courage, and creative power that lives in every one of us. Join us as we ask a question that is far deeper than it first appears: Who’s Your Daddy?
