Snuck out the window to escape the kids for a date night. Thankful for this woman pushing me to be a better man everyday.

We’ve been using @vidangel for almost a year and it’s been an absolute game-changer in the way we get to watch movies and TV as a family. You don’t realize how many inappropriate things there are (even in ‘innocent’ movies) until your 5-year old is sitting next to you. Seriously think every family should be using VidAngel in their home.

Powerful moment from Jon Tyson. Listen to the whole interview where ever you consume podcasts.
The closer I get to Jesus, the more I become the kind of man my family needs me to be.
First off- I know every guy in this video and I’m so proud of the men they are, and the men they are becoming. These guys are humble, sacrificial men, who are taking their role as husband, father, and disciple very seriously. I know so many of you guys in this community are doing the same, and I’m really proud of you. Praying that God will honor your faithfulness to him and your family. The book they’re reading is called “My Daddy’s Hero”. The whole point of this children’s book is to point our children to a better father. Every dad knows, despite what their children think of them, that they are falling short. Every honest dad know he has room to grow. Every Jesus-loving dad doesn’t want his kids to be like him when they grow up; they want their kids to be like Jesus. If you’re a dad, or know a dad, that longs to point his kids toward Jesus (The real hero of the family), I would love for you to grab a copy of this book. Praying it points the eyes, ears, and hearts of your kids to the best hero of all: Jesus.
Before I had kids, I imagined that we’d have these polished Bible studies every night where my kids listened intently to my wisdom, and sat quietly, longing to hear more. Not only is bed time the least spiritual time in my home, it also seems to be the most chaotic. I’ve learned that the best discipleship doesn’t happen in the planned moments. It often happens in the spontaneous, unplanned, 15 second moments where you can point their little eyes and hearts back to the Kingdom of God. Jesus is already working in and around your children, your job is simply to point it out in as many 15 seconds moments as possible.
We watched God do incredible things in the lives of these men this weekend. Don’t believe everything you hear on the news, God is not done with men.
This simple routine has changed our relationship.

1 John 1:9 tells us that if we confess our sins to God, He’s faithful to forgive us. That’s super good news. We all need to be forgiven.But, forgiven doesn’t mean healed. The book of James tells us that healing comes when we confess our sins to each other and pray for each other. We don’t just need forgiven men, we need healed ones, too.

Why do I have to tell you so many times? I’ve said those words to my kids too many times to count. It amazes me how many times they forget to pick up their clothes off the bathroom floor. Or, not hit her sister with a book. Or, brush their teeth both morning and night. Or, not speak that way to me or their mother. They forget a lot. And, so do I. I wonder if God has ever said “Why do I have to tell you so many times?” about me. I’m not sure. But, I do know that the Bible is full of God telling his people to remember. Remember His covenant. Remember His faithfulness. Remember His promises. Remember His reputation. Probably because God’s people forget. A lot. The picture above is me holding a family meeting. We do these often. They are super short, but super intentional. I know my kids are like me: prone to forget. So, I have to keep the family vision, boundaries, rhythms, ethics and goals in front of them. It’s a time for Leila and I to keep the mission and expectations at the top of their little minds. It’s also a time for them to speak into the family culture, ask questions, add clarity, and contribute to what we are doing as a whole. Kids are like us: they forget things. I’m just trying to be as intentional and patient with them as God has been toward me.
