What insights does Dr. Meg Meeker share about the role of fathers?
Live from the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, it's the Ramsey Show, where debt is dumb, cash is king, and the paid-off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice. We help people build wealth, do work they love, and create actual amazing relationships. George Campbell Ramsey Personality is my co-host today. And joining us in studio, one of our great friends, Dr. Meg Meeker. She is the author of the book, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters. If you all haven't heard the story, a while back, I was in a group of men, started as a Bible study and deteriorated into a book club. And we were reading through different books. And one of the guys in there brings this book in there called Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters.
Now, at this point, my daughters were already grown. I read this book, and it is such a powerful statement on the importance of dads. in their daughter's lives, and time and time and time again. So I immediately, once I read it, I just got blown away, and I reached out, and I didn't know that Meg and I were actually brother and sister. We found out later that we're way too much alike. And, you know, that was, I don't know, what year did that book come out?
A long time ago. I'm thinking 04, 06.
Yeah, so we've been friends almost 20 years now. and so Meg has done speaking with us on Smart Conference. She's been on this show multiple times speaking on the subject of parenting in general. Meg's a pediatrician in Traverse City up in Michigan, has been by practice, but also has become a best-selling author, many, many best-selling books. Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters continues to be an explosive subject and now has been made into a movie. Congratulations. I haven't had a movie made yet. That's It's a big deal.
You'll get there. I'm jealous. So I beat you at one thing. Yeah, you did. There we go. No competition.
None whatsoever.
It's thrilling. You know, I had nothing to do with it. Of course, it's a God thing. But a number of years ago, Pure Flix bought the rights from the publisher. And I thought, oh, yeah, yeah. And then all of a sudden, a year ago, they said it's going to come out as a movie. And I said, oh, yeah, yeah. And then August 1st, it came out. And it's really good. and it's really good see that's the important thing i mean they didn't mess it up well you know i was nervous i bet yeah because my name's all over it and your best known title is on it exactly um but but i was i was thrilled when i actually saw it because it's cute it it conveys the message of my book there pretty well and and it shows my book in there and it's just it's a it's a real shot in the arm for dads and you know me i am so pro dad my mission in life is to encourage fathers because they get zero and um so i think the movie accomplishes that and i'm thrilled yeah did you get to be an extra in it did they let you
I wouldn't even if they did. That's not my thing.
You could have at least had a cameo. Just on a walk by. That would have been amazing. Well, did you get a say in the movie, Meg, of how it was portrayed?
So they showed me the first manuscript and I said, I don't know, could you make some changes? And they did. And then I signed off on the final one. But I couldn't choose the actors or anybody. Wow. Yeah. You weren't in charge of casting.
So how do they watch it? Pure flicks. How do they watch it?
Go to PureFlix.com, and they can watch the trailer, which is cute, and then the whole movie. And I really encourage people to watch it. It's light. It's not heavy. You know, and now everybody hears so much bad news. It's a sit-down, feel-good movie, and it encourages dads. So if they know a dad, it needs a little encouragement.
That would be all of the people who are dads in a culture who has completely devalued fatherhood.
Totally.
I don't think of anything more evil than a dad out there in the culture right now.
Exactly. Exactly.
Not only not encouraged, but discouraged.
Discouraged. And that's why I do what I do. And I will do it till I fall over. Because dads, getting dads engaged in the family is, I think, the most important thing we can do in our culture.
