Lesson 1:1: Your earthly father’s influence on your identity
▌ Overview
Every person on earth enters life through a father and a mother. Whether your father
was present or absent, loving or distant, faithful or broken — his influence became part
of the soil your identity grew in. This lesson explores how the seeds sown by your
earthly father shaped the foundations of how you see yourself, how you relate to
authority, and how you receive or reject love.
▌ Key Teaching
Tendayi Ndoro writes in A Father’s Heart for His Daughters: whether good or bad,
whatever seeds were sown into your life by your earthly father — fear or faith, courage
or cowardice, love or hate — those become the foundations you will find yourself living
by, or desperately trying to run away from, until you have an encounter with a higher
mindset and belief system that breaks all the barriers and limitations in your life.
Your father did not have to be perfect to leave an imprint. His parenting skills were
shaped by his own unresolved experiences, his beliefs, his wounds, and his triumphs.
He passed on what he had — and now it is your invitation to examine what was passed
on, keep what is good, and release what was not.
“Every father wants his daughters to do better than he did — to achieve greater levels of success, joy, peace, understanding, courage, wisdom and faith.” — Archibald Ndoro, A Father’s Heart
▌ Key Points
• Your earthly father’s words, actions, and presence (or absence) created your earliest understanding of love, worth, and safety.
• Negative seeds — criticism, abandonment, fear, or silence — do not have to define your future once you recognise them.
• Positive seeds — encouragement, faith, sacrifice, love — are gifts to be honoured and built upon.
• Healing begins not with blaming your father, but with understanding how his journey shaped yours.
▌ Journaling Prompts
1. What is one positive thing your father modelled or said that still lives in you today?
2. What is one belief about yourself that may have come from your father’s words or actions — that you now need to examine?
3. If your father were to write you a letter today expressing his deepest desire for your life, what do you believe it would say?
4. What seeds do you want to stop replanting — and what new seeds do you choose to sow?
▌ Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my earthly father and for choosing him as the vessel through which I came into this world. I choose today to release and forgive him for every way he fell short of what I needed. I also choose to honour every good thing he deposited in me. Help me to draw strength from every positive seed planted in my life, so I can become everything You created me to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
