How Dads Can Lead Spiritually | EP. 213

“The best thing you can do to spiritually invest in your kids is to invest in them when they are young.” – Ryan Zook

This week we continue our Family Series as we talk about A Man and His Kids. How are you spiritually leading your kids? It’s easy to think that someone else like a pastor or teacher will do it, but listen up dads, NO ONE will have more impact on your kids spiritual formation than you. It’s never too late to take your spiritual responsibility seriously. The best thing you can do to spiritually invest in your kids is to invest in them when they are young. God from the very beginning wanted fathers to take the spiritual development of their kids very seriously. Dads are suppose to lead their kids. When father’s fail at their job, culture takes over. Men, it takes intentionality, you don’t accidentally disciple your kids.

If you don’t know where to start or how to lead your kids spiritually, just take one small step today. Read a Bible story at the dinner table, pray before each meal, share a story of how God worked in your own life. Intentionality is the key word men, lead your kids on purpose. We would love to help equip you for this journey, reach out to us today and let us be a resource for you! https://menofiron.org/contact-us/

Regardless of where you are in your journey, we have the tools and experiences for you. We provide one-to-one coaching, small group, and retreat curriculum. To know God is an adventure, and we are calling all men to conquer the mountain ahead of us. Men, it’s time to climb! >>> MENOFIRON.ORG/THECLIMB
