  • As for you, Man of God...
    Jun 16 2024

    Paul ends his first letter to Timothy with a challenge, “As for you, man of God, … pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness. … Fight the good fight of faith.” As dads we can get so wrapped up in things that distract that pursuit. We drift, get busy and all of the sudden our goals are focused somewhere entirely different. In this episode we discuss how we fight the good fight in the pursuit like Timothy.

    The over-sexualized culture has a lot to say about sexual intimacy and dating that us dads need to pay attention to.

  • As for Me and My House...
    Aug 31 2023
    Joshua 24:15 is a familiar passage, “... as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” How do we go about doing that? How does dad make sure that a house is serving the Lord? Aren’t we all too busy? In this episode, we discuss the promise to do the best we can to make sure that everything that takes place inside the home honors God. It is also a prayer that the children raised there will have an example set by dad.

  • Challenge Accepted
    Aug 13 2023

    Being a dad is awesome but becoming a dad–facing those first few challenges–is a whole other story! In this episode, we have a group of dads talking about the initial challenges, mistakes, (and some victories!) we’ve all made in those first few months and years of becoming a dad. It’s not always smooth sailing but dad, be encouraged as you strive to bring them up tenderly, with lovingkindness, in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

  • Big God and Little Kids
    Jun 12 2023
    George B. Shaw said “the biggest mistake in communication is assuming it has taken place.” Shaw was most likely not referring to conversations about faith, but that quote really drives home the point of today’s discussion: It would be a mistake to assume our kids understand our faith, or even have a faith of their own that they can articulate. As dad’s striving to raise kids in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, where do we start? What is the appropriate age to have faith conversations with our kids? In this episode, we are joined by some pastors at Crossings who are going to help us better understand how and when to have those significant conversations about a big God to our little kids.

  • Balanced and Rotated
    Jun 12 2023

    Paul instructs the Thessalonians to avoid being busy for busyness sake, and adding things to your plate with hurry and anxiety is not a blessed life. But instead, the quiet life sounds pretty ordinary. True life is when we display the image of God in all we do (including raising our kids!) and aspire to rest in him. The world—and probably our work relationships—would think that sounds crazy! In this episode, we look at the work/life balance and how dad's prioritize the business of life.
