Are you the man, husband and father the next generation needs to see? Is there a standard of reference that you are working to emulate as the leader in your home? Or is the present-day culture having more of an influence than you would like to admit, encouraging a ‘go along to get along’ mentality?

Spiritual leadership is happening in every home. The question is ...read on

When a father and son took on a project to get a 1957 Ford F-250 running, they got busy doing what they knew how to do. A good pressure washing was the first step as it had been sitting in a barn for over 30-years. Then they dropped the oil pan, replaced gaskets and rebuilt the carburetor. For young dads, the carburetor preceded fuel-injection.

Phase 2 of the project called for ...read on

Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the Lord as he did – with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses – 2Kings 23:25. Wow! No king - not David, Solomon, or any other king after him, turned to the Lord as Josiah did.

The reign of Josiah is a text book example of ...read on

How has your year been? I think it healthy to spend time reflecting on the high points of the past year, what I call “glimpses of God’s glory.” A late-summer getaway with my bride was certainly a high point for us. Time with grown kids on summer adventures, time with granddaughters and the birth of our first grandson were also wonderful high points.

At Faithful Fathering, the high points are always tied to ...read on

Is it possible to have peace on earth? Peace is defined as “freedom from disturbance; tranquility,” per Webster’s dictionary. I guess we could have our ear buds in, or noise-cancelling headphones on, and be oblivious to the world around us. We would be undisturbed and tranquil, even peaceful, for a little while.

In this final week of Advent, the candle lit reflects the ...read on

Joy to the World may be easy to sing but how is one to be joy-filled with all the end-of-year busy-ness? What does it even mean to be joy-filled? One example is King David’s celebration when the ark of God was brought to the City of David. In 2Samuel 6:14, it says, “Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might.” King David put all the busy-ness of being king in its proper perspective, and reflected how joy-filled he was with getting the ark of God in its rightful place.

Should not the birth of Christ spark such ...read on

“Are you pickin’ up what I’m layin’ down?” That was a question posed by a friend from Mississippi. It was his way of verifying that I truly got what he was saying. He wanted to make sure I saw the value in what he was offering? Are your kids “pickin’ up what you are layin’ down”? Are you layin’ down your faith in a way that they want to pick it up?

In this second week of Advent, the candle lit represents the FAITH Christians have in the ...read on

There is hope. As 24/7 news cycles produce what seems a never-ending litany of bad news, a Christian dad is to be cognizant of what it means to be a light of hope. While he cannot ignore the media, he can maintain a healthy perspective by keeping his eyes focused on Jesus. December is a great time for dads to lead with the right perspective, to focus on the hope that is the Reason for the season, the Christ-child’s birth.

Advent, starting four Sundays before Christmas, provides a good ...read on

How are you doing at counting the gifts and blessings in your life? Are you thankful or have you taken some blessings for granted? Has life thrown you some curveballs that did not seem like blessings at the time, but looking back, indeed were? The charge is to walk in all things with a thankful state of mind.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to recalibrate if family circumstances, or life’s happenings in general, have ...read on

George Barna, The Barna Group market research firm, released a report early in the year that identified a faith crisis hitting young people. He reports that only 17% of young people, ages 18 – 22, are calling themselves committed Christians. That is on us dads! The question is, “Are you leading your family spiritually or secularly by example?”

When a dad leads his family to ...read on
