Ep. 12 | Jesus' Guide to Praying for Your Kids

Growing Fathers Podcast ·

2025/06/26

"When it comes to parenting priorities, I think that prayer has got to be at the top of the list. In parenting, we don’t work hard and then pray that God would take it the rest of the way, as if God picks up our slack. Parenting begins each day and ends each day on our knees.

"Dads need friends. Not football buddies, or golf partners, or even 'family friend' dads you chat with while your kids play in the yard—though all of those could be candidates. You see, we often use the word 'friend' to describe our common-interest acquaintances when what we really need is 'battle brothers' who know our worst and hope in Christ for our best. Christian fathers need the rare treasure of active, godly friendships. Hobbling along in your Christian life without them could be spiritually

"What is a Christian family? Is it a family that attends church regularly? Is it a family that prays before each meal and talks about Jesus on occasion? Is it a family that abstains from certain vices or follows a few set principles for life? Is it a family whose children land good jobs and live decent lives? Or is it a family that has family devotions on a fairly consistent basis?"In this episode, John and Kris tackle these questions from John Pate's article "What is a Christian Family?"Article:

Ep. 3 | How Busy Should I Be?

Growing Fathers Podcast ·

2025/04/24

You have so much to do today. You had so much to do yesterday. You will have so much to do tomorrow.

People with families are busy. Families who are involved in church and the lives of others are busy. But just how busy should we be? If you haven’t wrestled with this question, you should.
