That God created us to be and that our kids, family, and the world needs us to be.
Today’s theme or topic is titled “Great advice from King David . . . and my mother“! I found a devotional that was a bit longer and that sounded powerful as a message so that it could help us learn and become the dads God created and purposed for us to be. So I chose…

What a way to kick off a Sunday and…

Are you going out into the world and making disciples? Are you going out into the world and sharing the good news of Jesus? Are you going out into the world bringing the life-giving message of Jesus Christ to every generation across the street and around the world? Let’s be the dads who start in…
As we begin today, we need to make sure our focus is on the right thing so that we can choose joy. This is the day that the Lord has made so let us rejoice and be glad in it. Not because of our circumstances, but because of who God is and what He is…
As today starts it is interesting to consider how some people answer questions with a question like “Why?”. From an etiquette perspective, we shouldn’t answer questions with a question. Let’s be the dads who aren’t being evasive and uncooperative when conversing. Are you asking “why?” because you are facing suffering or a tragedy? Do you…
As we get up today, look to God for everything, and wait upon Him for wisdom and discernment, what do you see? Do you see His love and generosity poured out for the world? Is the model for how to live your life being picked up from the life of Jesus? Love and Generosity to…
To Be The Dads, we need the Father’s heart to help us live up to this calling. Have you ever considered what that means or looks like? Have you looked in God’s Word for wisdom and direction to help you live up to the calling of being the dads He has created, planned, and purposes…
