Hey fellow dads,
How do you “start where you are” to lead your family even when you know you aren’t the dad you ought to be? What hope do we have when greater men than us have not been able to raise godly children? Or is that even our goal? Join us today as we learn from my friend William Maricle about being the spiritual leader (teacher or prophet) for our families.
And, starting at 34:54, I have a special Thanksgiving weekend treat for you—an excerpt from Of Plimoth Plantation that the whole family can enjoy.

“As men, there’s no way we can completely assume that role, unless we ourselves are attempting to discover the word of God for ourselves, and be in it. But then I would hasten to say, that it’s better to be a father who feels inadequate but is just giving what he can, than to be a father who feels like he has all the answers and demands his kids listen to him.”
“Have the heart to say, ‘Dad doesn’t know much, but please do right.”
Book Recommendation
