St Joseph and Fatherhood

St Joseph and Fatherhood

What does faithful fatherhood look like through the lens of Scripture?
St Joseph and Fatherhood is a three-session course from Who’s Who in the Bible that explores the life of Joseph—husband of Mary and earthly, adoptive father of Jesus—and what his example teaches all disciples about obedience, courage, and care.

Perfect for personal reflection, home groups, church study settings, small groups, and ministry training, this course blends clear biblical teaching with practical application. Each session includes thoughtful questions for reflection, discussion, and prayer so individuals and groups can translate insight into action.

Why This Course Matters

Joseph does not say a single recorded word in the New Testament, yet his actions speak profoundly. Chosen by God to protect and provide for His Son, Joseph models quiet holiness: responsive to God’s guidance, steadfast in family devotion, and courageous under pressure. This course helps participants:

Trace Joseph’s story across Matthew and Luke and notice how prophecy and providence converge.

Consider adoptive fatherhood and the dignity of work, responsibility, and faithful presence.

Reflect on obedience, discernment, and trust when God’s will disrupts our plans.

Explore how understanding God as Father shapes Christian identity and community.

Whether you are a parent, a mentor, or simply seeking to grow as a disciple, St Joseph’s life offers wisdom for today.
