How Our Family Really Learned To Pull Together
Wouldn’t it be great if our families (your’s and mine) lived in such a way that we actually showed what God’s original idea for family was–and his true heart for everyone? Yes it would…and it can!
I’m not much of a sports guy and never really have been. I tried my hand at various sports as a kid and while in middle and high school, but alas, I had neither the genes nor ambition to be very good or super-competitive at sports. Now my son, on the other hand, is more of a natural athlete—especially when compared to me. (more…)

A disciple-making analogy: You take your kids out to your garage, let’s say they are ages 8, 10 and 12 years old. And out there you show them a catalog with a picture of a beautiful armoire or large wooden cabinet.
Super detailed and inlayed and gorgeous! Next to the armoire is a stack of very nice wood and veneers and there are lathes and table saws. Every kind of woodworking tool imaginable. Then you tell your kids to get after it and start making armoires. Maybe a dresser or two while they’re at it.
But here’s the problem: they have never been taught how to make furniture or build cabinets. They were never apprenticed into these types of skills. (more…)
Daddy-Daughter Dates Change Your Family Legacy
Life moves fast, and our kids grow up before we know it. As parents, we often wonder if we’re connecting with their hearts in ways that will last a lifetime. For me, one of the most valuable things I ever did with my daughters was taking them out on regular Daddy-daughter dates.

More than anything, our dates helped my daughters know their beauty and value—and that they are a priority in my life.

- 5 key things every dad should know when dating his daughter
- The right age to start (and why it’s never too late)
- How intentional “daddy time” shows her she’s a priority
- Why these dates set her expectations for future relationships
- How to grab my proven Daddy-Daughter Date Checklist for free.

Are You Beating Yourself Up With Religion?
If you’re not experiencing the joy and freedom you once did in your faith, it may be that you are beating yourself up with religion instead of believing and living out of the true gospel of grace. Let me explain:
I’ve heard it said that religion is a set of practices and beliefs–a system–of pursuing and maintaining a relationship with God.
Ok, sounds technically right… (more…)
