No-Prep, Zero-Guilt, Perfect-Fit Family Devotions for You and Your Crew. Family devotions have gotten a bad rap…and often for good reason. They can be rigid, yawn-worthy interruptions in life rather than fun, affirming opportunities for Jesus to spend time with your family. But these devotions—they’re the good stuff, because they’re a bit unpredictable (as in not boring). Because your kids aren’t just observers—they’re participants. And because Jesus will show up to speak to you and your crew about your family, life, and himself. He’ll come because you’ll ask, and you’re making room for him. So enjoy your time with Jesus—and each other.

Becoming a father is a big responsibility, even more so to be a Christian father. God’s Word has some special instructions to guide you through one the most important roles you will ever have. Written by Stephen Binz based on teachings by Bishop Thomas Olmstead of the Catholic Diocese of Phoenix.

Into The Breach – Christian Fatherhood

Children are a blessing from the Lord, no matter the circumstances surrounding their birth (Psalm 127:3).  If you are a father, thank God for it and decide right now that you are going to be what God wants you to be in your children’s lives, a visible, tangible illustration of Him, no matter what choices you’ve made to this point.  Being a good father really is not as complicated as you might think!  All you have to do is love your children like your Heavenly Father loves you.

Becoming The Father God Wants You To Be

Polycarp is one of Christendom’s most famous martyrs. The 86-year-old bishop of Smyrna refused to recant his faith, choosing instead to be burned at the stake. Why?

Play The Man

UNCOMMEN Dads

You are leading your family, but you see room for improvement. Sections of your family wall are gone. Some stones must be replaced. Before following Christ, this was off your fatherhood radar. But now, it drives your thinking. What next? As it turns out, fathers can learn much from an Old Testament cupbearer (and wall-fixer). Nehemiah outlines how we can build a vision for our family that honors God.

Becoming a Fulfilled Father

Being a father who intentionally disciples his family is tough work. Not only do we need to learn how to run this race, we must simultaneously remove obstacles blocking our way. Biblical fatherhood is not for the faint of heart. This plan will help you identify the things standing in your way. Then it will show you how, with God’s help, you can remove these roadblocks on your journey to becoming an intentional father.
