That God created us to be and that our kids, family, and the world needs us to be.
Over the weekend a great message from 1 Corinthians 13:7 speaking to Hope and Endurance was preached. Pastor Josh pointed out the importance of what we put our hope in because when we put our hope in the wrong things or people who aren’t able to do it, including hope in ourselves, it creates roots…
We all have our own experiences and with age, we know the impact of our actions and decisions. Furthermore, can we relate and use our experiences to help direct our kids when we were living different lives? Nevertheless, does our experience make sense in their new world? Can we apply it in a way that…
After my regular “dad” search to find our current devotional called “Kill the Noise“. Its description captured my attention when it spoke to “playing”, I over the years will say in meetings “let’s play pretend” which tends to allow people to come along and to make sure there isn’t any deception I tell them how…
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 “Just For Dads: Be A Positive Christian Role Model” because, over 21 days, we will get to…
Ever had one of those days when you think, what’s next? Yesterday, I had one of those moments and so I went searching for a devotional to kick off today searching in the bible.com site for “dad” and scrolled through the many devotionals I have completed and then this one just popped out from the…
Ever seen a time when people didn’t like what a word meant and tried to change it? Ever seen a time when something physical tries to get redefined to suit the needs of others? Ever seen a time when people tried to expand on what a word means? Ever seen a time when people tried…
As I was about to start typing about impossible, a song came to my mind that connects to this post and so before I start typing more, I am going to share a song to help encourage us as dads to lean in and trust God no matter what we are facing… As you are…
You are valuable as a dad in so many ways. We need to realize the truth to that statement irrespective of the things the world may be saying. So, accept the truth of what God has to say about it and step up and stand up to be the dad God created, purposed, and planned…
As we come to the close of our current devotional and consider the power of words while being a husband to our wives, a dad to our kids, and leaders in our homes and communities, let’s take a moment to reflect and do a checkup. Let’s be the dads who aren’t just going with the…
Are you struggling? How much time are you spending with God and in His Word? Do you know what the Bible says about facing trials, troubles and temptations? Do you remember what Jesus said about troubles in this world? Therefore, you need to know where to turn so that you can have the right attitude…
The search continues for dad-related devotions and I found this one titled “The Father Knows Best” by Dr. Tony Evans. This devotional is interesting as it speaks to “major loss or difficult setbacks or emotional turmoil” and how “it can be a temptation to fall prey to despair.” As we spend the next three days…
Halfway through the week and just over halfway through our devotional we are studying. Still a lot to do and yet we need to celebrate what has been accomplished too. Take a breath and thank God for where you are at right now. This devotional caught my eye when I read the following description: “An…
As we head into day 12 of the next devotional related to dads and the one that came up is an interesting one as it is one on the topic of being popular and using that influence for the good of others. It was also interesting because even though I searched for “dad” it invites…

After searching for a devotional to kick off three days back, searching in the bible.com site for “dad” and scrolled through the many devotionals I have completed then this one just popped…
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…
