This is an interesting perspective. Fathers who know a lot about a lot of things are surely useful to others. But characterizing an excerpt from Paul’s letter as a Biblical command is a bit of a leap.
Perhaps a more prudent goal for fathers would be to equip their children with their own exceptional level of agency as they enter adulthood. An agency with which they can go help others in distress. High agency Christians will always be a blessing to the world, fathers or not.
