Father’s Day

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Father’s Day

Meet the inspiring dads leaning on faith for the joys and challenges of fatherhood.

Aled Jones cooks up a storm with some Christian dads taking on a cooking challenge with their children. And he meets the 999 call handler who saved her own father’s life.

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.

Aled also dons his apron to join a group of Christian dads taking on a cooking challenge with their kids. In the busy kitchen, Aled hears how the group offers opportunities for dads to deepen their bond with their children and to support one another.

With music reflecting and celebrating the fatherly love of God, that’s Songs of Praise for Father’s Day.
