Hemming describes the intimacy he wants to achieve as a father with his children. He sees one of the great struggles of Latter-day Saint men of this generation as achieving balance between domestic and ecclesiastical roles. The Church's ideals for fatherhood are generally very good, but he finds them generally to be lacking acknowledgement of the need for intimacy as fathers mainly because of the ways in which Church service competes with time and attention spent with families.
