Before jumping into today’s topic, I wanted to reflect back on my morning devotional that spoke to the importance of legacy and having an eternal perspective. If our focus is only on this material world then we will miss out on the bigger picture. The morning devotional referenced Ecclesiastes and how when we aren’t focused…

Reflecting on God’s Provision Today is a day where I am going against what SEO would tell me by making my title too short. It’s because, in my other blog From 2005 to Eternity, I was reflecting on life with God. Here on Be The Dads, however, I was thinking back to 2024—how bad things…

As I was heading to the dentist this morning a song came on the radio. It was a song that made me think of everything BeTheDads is to be about. Who God created us to be! The men God created us to be! The husbands that our wives need us to be, and the dads…
Dads, do you realize your role and the 3 key roles you have as men in this world? Ever considered that there are sins of commission and omission? Do you know what the right things to do are? It’s a sin to know what to do and then not do it, a sin of omission….

Coming off a week of gratitude that produces joy makes me ponder the importance of our attitude. Our attitude can help us see things with the right perspective to live our lives to the full. Imagine having an attitude of gratitude all the time, now just once a year or one week a year, but…
