FAITHFUL FATHERS

...dads becoming heroes.

Some men have been blessed with dads that set great examples in the home, and some men have not. Most had dads or father figures that were somewhere in between. But every man has a Heavenly Father who can fill whatever gap or void exists in understanding the role of a faithful father - a dad that prioritizes physical presence, is engaged emotionally with his children and leads spiritually by example.

Being a faithful father is a journey that begins wherever a man is, and continues with a commitment to grow in his role as a 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. FFIT challenges dads to become the true heroes of the next generation. Are you up for the challenge?

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’ – Education

As we move into a summer of family and fun, and continued effort on the education front, I would like to….

‘Wait a minute, Dad. It’s summertime! Can’t we just chill, take a break?’

Take a break? Sure. Shut down for the summer? No.

Dads, ninety-six percent of Americans agreed in a recent Gallup Poll that fathers should be more involved in their children’s education. And that includes summertime. Here are three tips to help you stay involved across the summer:

1.      Sit down and review your daughter’s grades with her. Affirm her strengths and agree on an action plan for challenge areas;

2.      Read to your son, read a book with him or review reading he has done; and,

3.      Be engaged in nurturing all your child’s gifts. Physical gifts are typically our forte – sports and athletics. But maintain a healthy balance and be sure to nurture their mental and spiritual gifts as well.

Dads, we get busy! But Romans 12:2 reminds us to ‘not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.’ Renew your mind and renew your involvement in your child’s education. As you make the effort to be a more involved dad, you will become a hero in your child’s eyes.
