Definition
A Father is the man who accepts the responsibility of practicing Father Leadership.

What it is not
- Not merely a biological category
- Not merely a legal status
- Not automatically faithful because of title

Why it matters
Father is the primary practitioner of the Discipline. The platform equips him, but he remains the steward of judgment, presence, and relationship.
