DO THE WORK: Fatherhood Is Not a Profile Picture

A profile picture is not parenting. Mark Anthony Stephens’ latest “My Liam” social media update reads less like devotion and more like possession, image control, and fair-weather fatherhood. Real dads do the work in the shadows — paying support, showing up, listening to professionals, and meeting their child’s needs when no one is watching.

The Gospel According to Mark: Certainty Without Scholarship

Mark Anthony Stephens’ latest Facebook sermon on the Ethiopian Bible is less about biblical truth and more about control. With no demonstrated expertise in church history, canon development, or theology, Mark uses Scripture as a weapon, twisting words and traditions to fit his own rigid-yet-flexible worldview.

The Quiet Part of the Docket

Preaching Against Vanity While Performing It

Mark’s latest Facebook clips talk about vanity, truth, and biblical vindication, but the structure tells a different story. When one short message is broken into a chain of back-to-back videos, the result feels less like humility and more like attention-seeking wrapped in scripture.

It is easy to post old memories and public declarations of love. It is much harder to do the work required to actually show up for a child. This is about the painful difference between performative love and real parental effort.

If You Miss Him So Much, Stop Posting and Do the Work

There is nothing complicated about this: if you miss your son, you do the work required to move toward him. Old photos, animated memories, and public pity are not fatherhood. They are performance. And after years of documented concern, disruption, and excuse-making, “it’s complicated” sounds less like an answer and more like another shield.

Some men do not run to God when relationships fail. They run to social media, weaponize scripture, and build an image by tearing down the people closest to them.

Not a Man of God. A Man with a God Complex.

There is something especially foul about a man who claims he runs to God when life breaks apart, but somehow always finds the time, energy, and […]

Mark Misses Liam, But Will Not Show Up for Him

It is hard to take “I miss him” seriously when there is time to animate an old photo, post it publicly, and perform grief online, but still no real effort to complete the one in-person step required to begin the process of seeing Liam.
