The general manager had just given the group of cub scouts a tour of the Sugar Land Airport when a twin-engine Cessna landed. He told the boys to wait a few minutes because Captain may want to speak to them. The plane taxied up near where the boys were and a tall, lanky gentleman got out of the plane and walked over to them.

He put his arms around all eight boys and said, “I have two things for you. First ...read on

All dads disciple their family through the day-to-day example of living under a secular worldview or under a biblical worldview. The charge is to embrace the inherent power of a father and the responsibility granted by the Father to raise His children well.

The secular worldview is about ...read on

As the dad goes, the family goes. Where are you going dad? Good dads often go the way of working hard, paying the bills and trying to “do dad” better than their dad. The kids may catch an excellent work-ethic but they may also catch a secular worldview. Spiritual leadership is needed to equip the family in the Way, under a biblical worldview.

In his book, Live Not by Lies, Rod Dreher interviews Christian dissidents that ...read on

This week, I saw a dad and daughter walking across a parking lot. When they got to his pickup truck, the dad hit the remote unlock, opened the driver’s side door and pulled himself up behind the steering wheel. His daughter walked around the front of the truck, opened the passenger door and climbed up into her seat. No problem.

I tip my cap to this dad. He was spending time with his young daughter who looked to be ...read on

This week I am continuing the focus on the third tenant of being a faithful father – to lead spiritually by example. Once one has accepted Jesus the Christ as Savior and begins the journey to serve Him as Lord, learning to love as Jesus loved is a key dimension of leading spiritually in family.

Spiritual leadership is love in action. Often, love is thought of as ...read on

The three tenants of being a faithful father are prioritizing physical presence, being engaged emotionally and leading spiritually by example. As a dad, I can work on being physically present as much as possible and try to be engaged emotionally to a respectable degree. But spiritual leadership is more elusive for me.

Spiritual leadership for most of us can be summed up by ...read on

In our recent podcast series called, “Dad Questions”, we address several queries brought forward by dads. Consider checking out The Faithful Fathering Podcast by clicking HERE.  One question that resonated with me was, “How do you set boundaries in a world with no boundaries?” 

Trying to establish boundaries in this world can be overwhelming. But establishing boundaries has always been a must for dads and moms. The goal is ...read on

He worked hard to provide for his family. The earning potential with his full-time work was not high so he took on additional work some evenings and weekends. He was determined that his family would live in a better situation than he had grown up under. The focus was on the financial perspective at the expense of his presence at home.

Men are ‘doers’, and the devil thrives on keeping dads busy doing (busy stands for being under satan's yoke). He may ...read on

A pastor in the hospital for an inner ear procedure struggled with some associated vertigo issues. The nurses promptly put a bright yellow wristband on him with bold letters identifying him as a “FALL RISK”. The intent was to alert those in immediate proximity to be aware and position themselves in a way to prevent a fall or at least minimize the likelihood of injury if he did fall.

Not one to overlook a good ...read on

Roll call is a consistent happening the first day of every school year. Even if the teacher mispronounces your name, the proper response is, “Present!” Responding with a shy, “Here”, or staying silent due to a humiliating pronunciation of your name, could get you moved to the front of the class. And that makes for a rough start to the new school year!

Are you present and ...read on
