That God created us to be and that our kids, family, and the world needs us to be.
This morning I woke up knowing that I needed to start a new devotional as I wrapped up one yesterday. This morning I went to bible.com and did a search for dads and started to scroll through the list options. As I scrolled one title jumped out and then I had to do a double…
As I begin today looking to finish the work week strong, I am excited to get to hear what Jerrad will teach us through God’s Word today. Only on day 4 but the realization that God shows up continues to be amplified and so when He doesn’t we should be surprised. Where are you today?…
Unity, what does it take? When we allow the mess and clutter of life like anger, bitterness, hate, and frustration to cloud our view of life, it prevents us from being able to live together in unity and love! So today, let’s choose to take away all the things covering our hearts and keeping us…

As I continue this journey of blogging about and for dads through daily devotionals I have been able to find, connect with the publishers, and get approval to share my thoughts and insights from reading them, I have found this dad devotional called The Daring Dad. The image that goes along with it is so telling…

As we start this day, let’s reflect on the role of dads as God intended. For example, it’s crucial to understand the impact of pouring without being filled. Just like a car without fuel, we end up empty and stuck. Similarly, God offers to fill us with His love so we can pour it into…
We need to turn to Him and ask Him for wisdom! I thank God that when Jesus returned to Heaven, He promised to send us the Holy Spirit as our comforter and guide who will teach us all truth! We must ask Him for insight on what to do and where to go! The Promise…
As we head into day 13 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…
“I remember over 20 years ago when the aha moment came when I realized it wasn’t about rituals or routines but rather it was about having a relationship with Jesus.
