Faithful Fathering Events

FAITHFUL FATHERS

A faithful father prioritizes his physical presence, is engaged emotionally and leads spiritually by example.

Being a faithful father is a journey that begins wherever you are, and continues with a commitment to grow in your role as a man, husband and father, to be better tomorrow than today.

The Faithful Fathering Initiative in Texas encourages and equips dads to step up as faithful fathers in the family, in the church and in the community. We envision an army of faithful fathers having a positive impact across Texas. Contact us for more information about faithful fathers in your church, workplace or organization.

Be a hero in your child's eyes, be a faithful father.

Devotions for Dads

NEW RESOURCE of 52 weekly devotions & journal

What dads are saying:

“In my home I have used these excellent devotions first for my personal devotion time and then to supplement brief daily devotion time with my teenage son. Our faith is nurtured by reflecting on the examination of the meaning of fundamental words - powerful words like discipline, commitment, relationship, covetous, faith, anger, accountable and guidance.”

“Over the years I have benefited from meeting weekly one-on-one with my best friend and accountability partner. We have gone through a number of men’s Bible studies and books targeting men/family issues. The Devotions for Dads have also been used in our discussions and often point us back in the right direction, on track with walking the walk as men, husbands and fathers. These devotions are truly a blessing and a useful tool for us guys as they help make the impact of our discussions more profound.”

‘Tip for dads’ - Awareness

Dad, are you aware of your children’s world? When someone says, ‘Columbine High School, Littleton, Colorado,’ you realize what can happen when we get caught up in our world and just run out of the time and energy needed to become more aware of our children's world.

Here are a few tips to challenge you:

1.   Put it on your schedule to spend time on their turf by volunteering at a church youth activity, participate in a work project, coach a team, and set up a parent/teacher conference before you get the grades;

2.   Eat dinner together as a family. The Center for Alcohol and Substance Abuse says that the child that eats dinner with family once a week is twice as likely to use alcohol or other drugs than the child that eats dinner with family five times a week; and

3.   Establish an open door policy in the home. That means:

1.      No phones behind closed doors;

2.      No televisions behind closed doors; and, certainly

3.      No computers behind closed doors.

In the Gospel of John, chapter 10:14-15 Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me – just as the Father knows me and I know the Father …"

Dad, as you get to know your children’s world, and let them get to know yours, you will take another step forward as a faithful father.
