When a wealthy businessman learns of his daughter's sudden engagement to a missionary, he embarks on a quest to keep her closer to home. But when his efforts go awry, he must reconsider what it means to be a strong father.

Steve Parston is a family man. Everything he’s ever done has been for his three daughters so that they could live in the best house, drive the best cars, attend the best business schools and someday, hopefully, have the weddings of their dreams. So, when eldest daughter Abby informs good-ole dad that she’s found the man of her dreams, he should be thrilled, right? Wrong.

Inspired by the book of the same title by Dr. Meg Meeker, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters demonstrates the importance of father-daughter relationships and the importance of God within those relationships. Those messages, combined with virtually zero negative content, makes PureFlix’s first foray into producing its own original feature film an outstanding success.

Becoming a Father - describe what that means to you?

My kids are my world I have two biological kids and one “bonus Munchkin” but all three are mine It is my desire to show them that doing your best means you succeed. They all love to sing and when they go to bed, I have to do the lullabies and just to see the smile on their faces when they get to talk about their daddy are memories that I will never forget!

Choosing one word, or two - describe your children?

Ella - Teenager Milly - Artist Lena - Little Dolly

Have your children effected the music you make &/or listen to?

I have written several songs for these girls and they for sure are musical. At every event, I have a picture of them with me either in my pocket or somewhere on stage to remind me that they are watching and that I have to be the best I can be so I can teach them to always give their best no matter what!

Do you think being a father or an artist has a greater impact on your community?

A Father! Yes, people see me and I can encourage folks but honestly I get more compliments on the videos of me and the girls on Facebook.

What do your children think of your music?

They know every word When they are in the audience, they are singing along Even going down the road they ask to listen to daddy’s songs and they are singing to the top of their lungs.

Would you rather see your child eventually become an artist or parent?

Honestly either, they will all be strong independent women, because my wife Megan is showing then how to do just that, but no matter what occupation they choose I want them to never give up and do what they love just like I get to do everyday.

Tell us about what is coming for you?
