DAD, Slow down!

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2025/10/30

As we all strive to navigate life’s chaos, we swiftly fall into an unsustainable pace. We sacrifice essential aspects of well-being for the allure of constant busyness. We struggle to slow down and disconnect, fearing we might miss out or fall behind. It’s a real struggle.

Shepherding your Kids

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2024/05/07

When it comes to parenting your kids, where do you put your focus? Are you fixated on helping them learn all the right information so they can be “successful” in life (whatever that means)? Are you intent on getting them onto the right team or into the right class or attached to the right group of friends so they can excel in the world? None of these things are inherently bad or wrong, but they might not be the best things for you to focus on. What if you decided to really focus on their heart and

Sharing your Jesus story with kids

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/08/09

This weeks ten minutes provides some great ideas for Personal God Things to Share With Your Child to encourage their spiritual growth.Many parents communicate that they are at a loss when it comes to answering kids’ tough questions about God. For example, when someone close passes away—a friend or family member—parents scramble to teach their kids about life, death and heaven. More often than not, parents end up avoiding complicated matters altogether! Instead of waiting until certain topics come

Discipline vs. Punishment

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/08/02

We’re talking for the next 10 minutes about the difference between discipline and punishment, and how the words are often used interchangeably but are quite different. To review, punishment seeks to control a person’s behavior by fear or retribution, or by inflicting pain to motivate change. Discipline, however, seeks to tie the unwanted behavior to a natural or logical consequence for that behavior. Discipline does not connect a child’s identity to their choices. --- Support this podcast:

Handling anger and conflict as a DAD.

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/07/26

Today's 10 Minutes is focused on handling frustration, anger, and arguments in the home. John 16:33 says, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Tribulation is great trouble or suffering. Though you will have days as a parent when you will feel like indeed you are experiencing great trouble and suffering resulting from your child’s intense moods, Jesus said “take heart” for He has overcome the world. He has overcome the tension in your home! However, you

Paul talked about “studying” in 2 Timothy 2:15, reminding us to “Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Though Paul was speaking about studying God’s Word, there are principles that can be drawn from this truth that can carry forward into all areas of your child’s life.

You aren't perfect and neither are your kids!

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/06/21

Nobody is perfect—you and your kids included. While I know this doesn’t come as a big surprise to you, intellectually, I also know that all too often parents choose to focus on their child’s imperfections instead of tending to their hearts. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suitup/support

Have a Good Conversation with your kids.

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/06/07

Dads, Hello, there! How long has it been since you’ve thought about the difference between hearing and listening? Hearing is the physical reaction of the brain to sound waves. Listening, however, requires you to focus and make use of what you’re hearing. I can’t tell you how often I’ve heard parents say that if their kids would listen to them things would be a lot better for the entire family. Well, guess what? I’m hoping this month’s ten minutes with Dad helps you to make that happen. Visit

Creating a Scream Free Home

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/05/24

It’s time to address another important parenting issue—the one of having a scream-free or yell-free home. Not only will this make for a more peaceful home, but it will also help to make your children calmer and more confident in who they are. I know how easy it is to feel you have to raise your voice to be heard or even yell rather than going to your children to speak normally so they can hear you. But as parents, we owe it to our children and ourselves to speak in calmly and respectfully so they

Dads teach your kids about the Bible

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/05/17

Raising our children to pursue a personal relationship with God is something every Christian parent wants, but statistics show that only five percent of teens study the Bible on their own on a daily basis and over half of teens say they read or study their Bible away from church. I don’t think I need to tell you that these numbers are not very encouraging. But I’m also happy to tell you that YOU can influence your children to be one of the five percent who study their Bible every day. How? By

Dads, allow your kids to struggle.

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/05/03

Teacups are beautiful, yet they’re very fragile and must be handled with extreme care. Today, university professors call our children just that, teacups. They see college students as very fragile because of overprotection. And while teacups are aesthetically pleasing, they are rarely used and of little value to us on a day to day basis. As DADs it’s hard to watch our children fail, so often we swoop in to make sure they don’t. In the process we create children that don’t know how to fail well. This

How to keep your kids safe online

2021/04/26

Dads, We must take responsibility for our kids/teens safety online. That doesn't mean keeping them off technology. Thats the easy way and ultimately doesn't work. What we have to do is face the problems and guide our kids through safety protocols.

Teaching kids to be excellent, not perfect

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/04/12

Are you a perfectionist? Do you have a child who is a perfectionist? Being a perfectionist is ROUGH (I speak from experience) because NO ONE is perfect. It’s exhausting, and to a child who finds personal value from doing something well, it can be a train wreck of emotion. This week we want to help you navigate what it looks like to help your child learn from failure and understand that perfectionism isn’t the goal, excellence is. Connect with us!

How to not raise lazy kids

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/04/07

A new study says kids today are more materialistic, they want MORE than ever before, and they’re less likely to work and study hard for the things they want. We want our children to be responsible, to work hard. In order for them to be responsible, we must give them responsibilities. How do we teach them to be hard workers, and for that matter, does hard work even matter? Check out this week's podcast to see how to get your kid to do more than play Xbox. Connect with us!

How you can raise a child who shows EMPATHY

Ten Minutes with Dad ·

2021/03/29

Empathy is taking on someone else’s perspective. Jesus, Himself, is the perfect example of this. 2 Corinthians tells us He who knew no sin became sin for us. We all want to help our children be more like Jesus and teaching our children to see things from another person’s view is a tall order. We all tend to think of our own needs first, and I’m sure you’ve witnessed this great phenomenon with your kids. How do we help our children to see others for who they really are, unique individuals created by

How to STOP a Kids temper tantrum.

2021/03/22

Maybe your child still tends to pitch a full on fit when they’re upset, or maybe you’ve watched your child stomp away pouting. Either way we’ve all seen our children exhibit a LACK of self-control. We all know self-control is an important characteristic in life. You may not have known, but self-control is more important than intelligence when it comes to academic success. So, we know self-control is vastly important, and we’re probably all on the same boat in stating we WANT our children to show
