Taken620’s Mission

Our Mission:

 

Our Mission is to use Biblical principles and Christ-centered, family-based relationships to bring true freedom to God’s children and His Church (Isaiah 58:6-12).

 

Understanding the Father-Daughter Effect

 

A healthy father-daughter relationship helps a girl to grow up to be a woman that achieves higher academic excellence (especially in math and science), and more successful careers along with helping her to deal with people of authority and to develop self-confidence and resourcefulness.  She will better recognize and accept her own imperfections (limitations and weaknesses) and learns to express anger in more appropriate and effective ways.  She will be much more apt to try new things and to challenge herself while also gaining great benefits in her own health such as little or no  clinical  depression,   eating   disorders,

anxiety, sexual promiscuity, lower divorce rates and less drug abuse.  Finally, she will be better able to empathize as opposed to being overly emotional and self centered.

 

It goes without saying then that an unhealthy father-daughter relationship will reap the opposite for many women.  In truth though, most women experience a father-daughter relationship that is not so clearly defined, do they.  In fact, many women have a very loving relationship with their dad, yet they still reap many of the negative consequences outlined above.  So here is the truth; there are many attributes, both good and bad, that a woman learns from her dad more so then from any other person. No other male will influence and affect her more.

 

Just what was God’s purpose for all of this anyway, and who affects this relationship and how do they affect it? This ministry, along with our materials, is designed to help you understand these issues with the hope that healing will accompany this knowledge.

 

The Problem That Many Women Face:

 

 

 

 

As a woman, you have a considerable amount vested in men.  Since women are the relationship builders you yearn to successfully interact with, and build meaningfully intimate relationships with, your father, husband, brothers, uncles, Pastor, sons, and even God. Yet many of you have not truly heard the actual plan that God developed to initiate and maintain healthy and vibrant male-female relationships. To make matters worse, many, many women never had a fully-functional father-daughter relationship of their own.

 

This is not to say that love did not exist but rather that you never really got to know your dad’s heart. A major question arises then; if a woman never had the type of relationship with her father that God had always intended for her, how can she then guide her husband and her daughter in their relationship?

 

What makes this issue even harder for many women is that they are having very serious issues in understanding why the men in her life seem clueless as to how to look after her own intimacy needs.  Yet her girlfriends, who were never built to satisfy all of her intimacy needs, somehow understand exactly what she means.  To make matters worse, statistically speaking, around 25% of the women reading this have at one point or another been molested by one of the male figures that I just mentioned.  Yet out of the other 75%, I would speculate that barely 1% (if even that) has been allowed to build off of a fundamentally proper male-female relationship that God would consider as His actual plan!

 

The Problem That Many Dads & Daughters Face

 

 

 

 

It’s true that there are plenty of good dads, and dad-figures out there; men who go to work and pay the bills, but is that all that it takes to be a great dad, and is that all it takes to protect your daughter?  Quite a few men out there already know that it takes more than that.  These men have learned to make themselves available to their daughters in order to provide emotional support, and many dads out there guide their families in areas that build good foundations, such as coaching the soccer team, going to Church, or leading their family in Bible study.  But is that all God wants from men when raising a daughter?  What does God have to say about it?

 

He says quite a bit about it, actually.  For example, throughout the Bible He addresses a father’s responsibilities in guarding and pursuing his daughter’s heart.  He wants us to understand her need for emotional intimacy, and the ramifications for failing her, but somehow our enemy has twisted what our roles are and how we are to fulfill them.  In fact, our families have been under attack from all sides for so long, that many of us (even “good dads”) are clueless as to just what we are to do, and how we are to do it.

 

In Ezekiel 34:16 the Lord GOD says “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick”  He is telling us that He wants to “set those captives free”)

 

This is not to say that you do not love your daughter but the fact is, that love for each other does not in itself supply your daughter (or your wife) with what she needs and desires from you.  What will surprise you even more is that this is not a surprise to your daughter or your wife! Women have always understood this need, but many women find it hard, if not impossible to get their husband (or even their own dads) to understand this.

 

Helping families to truly understand this, and more, is the driving force behind the founding of this ministry. This is why we will not put limitations on who may receive this teaching.  Instead we are focusing on those things that build relationships up in a godly way (Mathew 5:13-16), and on setting the captives free. 

 

It’s time to get out of your comfort zone, and plunge into our daughter’s life.
