I just was blown away by how thoughtful they did it and how they just stuck with it for now

20 years into this.

What's up, guys?

Welcome back to Five Minute Fatherhood.

So in our Five Minute Fatherhood Facebook group, and if you're not in there, you should jump

in there where we debrief a lot of these conversations and people can ask whatever

questions they want. Dan asked this great question, I think just today maybe, he said the question

is about whether or not to have Godparents for our son. I'm not familiar with anything

biblically in support of that idea, but I know a lot of families traditionally have Godparents

for their kids. I never had godparents growing up.

So the concept is foreign to me. However, my wife did, and it is something that is more

traditional for her family. Her godmother asked if we had given his godparents yet, given him

godparents yet. And this is where where it started something we never considered or discussed

until now so i'm very familiar with this concept because of a movie called the godfather

very good um yeah but seriously the the way that so there's a couple of things i i'll i'll give you guys

kind of two ways of thinking about this topic.

I'm curious, Jeff, what your thoughts are.

So the first is I do have, we have a very close family friends that have done this very, very

intentionally, like 10 out of 10.

So for each one of their kids, they would pick a godparent.

So if they had a son, it would be a man that's a big part of their life.

If they have a daughter, it'll be a woman.
