Air date: Jun 16, 2024

On Father’s Day, Aled Jones meets inspiring dads leaning on their faith through the joys and challenges of fatherhood. In east London, Aled joins a Father’s Day party to meet a dad and his daughter for whom the day is extra special. 999 call handler Estelle tells Aled how she turned to her training and help from above to save her dad’s life when he had a cardiac arrest. In Bournemouth, we meet Mark Arnold, whose son James has additional needs and requires round-the-clock care. Mark reflects on his special bond with his son and how faith is integral to helping them through the joys and challenges of family life. Mark also shares how he felt called to support other fathers in similar situations by writing a regular blog and building a support network.
