Key Takeaways 

 

• Acts of obedience can result in miracles, adventures, and boldness they've experienced as a family.
• Transparent money management can be the best instruction for kids. What children learn from their parents is more "caught than taught."
• The importance of being transparent with your children about finances far exceeds putting up a wall and believing it isn't beneficial.
• It's beneficial for both spouses to be involved in finances.

THREE DAY MONEY CHALLENGE

 

• 3:22 -  "...if I look back at our life and a lot of the miracles that have happened, a lot of the crazy things that God has brought us on, adventures that He's led us on, it has been through acts of obedience. When he's invited us to do something to step out into something... It'd be more comfortable to not do that... I want to be someone who is always running in that direction."
• 04:01 -" I want to raise kids who... just aren't bound up by fear, but have that boldness like David did in the face of whatever the obstacle of challenges."
• 4:48 - "every time he goes into kids church... they invite one of the kids to pray over the offering. And apparently our son goes up there every single week and asks to pray for the offering."
• 7:06 - "I talk to people all the time who come up to me and say, my dad said that we don't talk about money in our house... intentionally put a wall up and said, we're not going to talk about this. That seems like such a terrible idea to me, because the truth of the matter is... if we're not getting financial education from our homes, we're not learning it in school... our churches will teach us about giving in and I think a lot of them do a good job on that, but they're not teaching us how to actually manage our money so that we actually have more to give. And so what happens is we have this void of a lack of financial education. And so then what happens is our education and our beliefs about money come from places that... aren't even trying to teach us about it... We're looking at Instagram influencers or learning from credit card companies or all of these places where they may not be explicitly teaching us about money."
• 9:00- "...just talking through that in earshot of them, because, again, a lot of this is more caught than taught. And so we might as well just let them hear what's going on and let it start rubbing off on them. And I think that's one of the best things that we can do as dads."
• 15:17 - "... so it was two weeks later after I said yes to God and decided, okay, I'm going to take the rest as a year off. We got a call from the adoption agency... but we actually have a little girl who was born last night down in Alabama... Linda and I prayed for about 30 seconds... all right, let's go get our daughter."
• 19:59 - "it offends me that if you look at the Forbes 400... the vast majority of the people, that are top of the list, they're not serving the kingdom. It's like, that's why not."
• 21:40 - John Wesley quote "I earn as much as I can by writing and speaking... I save... And what he meant by that was, I reduce my expenses, I eliminate waste. I just cut out any wasteful, unnecessary spending... I save as much as I can so that I can give as much as I possibly can."
• 25:34 - "We call it our AUM, or Assets Under Management instead of net worth for two quick reasons. I don't like the term net worth when we're talking about our worth as believers... in light of what Jesus did, there's no number that defines that, whether it's high or low... But the other reason we call it Assets Under Management is that it's a reminder... that everything that we have our house, our cars, the money in our account, our kids... we're managers of all of it.
• 27:19 - "I felt God said, why don't you just track your giving? And so we created what we call our net given, which is basically just a sheet where we have tracked pretty much everything we've given since we got married."
• 30:47 - "... What I would say is we started moving forward faster when both of us were in it together, when both of us were aware of what was going on."

• 14:21 -Explaining “The Five Principles/Practices” that the global church implements.
  • Every believer praying and in scripture 1-2 hours/day

  • Every believer is training someone else to do these principles

• 19:46 - "And we try to go for the complex and easy and God wants us to do simple and tough and they can't do it."
• 20:43 - “...You’re capable of passing things on. Capable of having a rich history. Capable of having the next, and the next, and the next follow the Lord."

And so I’ve really tried to take that and say, okay, in all this, I really want my son to want to be like me first.”
• 23:50 - "And it wasn't just one thing that he did, but his consistency over and over and over that that was so impacting and then peppered with adventures. Right. And made it really powerful.... there's a moment there's a season in life for us as dads that the call is one of faithfulness. And it's like hard because you're like, I want to do great things and this and that. And the call is, no, actually do the same thing over and over and be faithful at that thing."

• 17:34 - "And the the idea that you, you know, this is really, really important for your kids to get is that they something happened before them and something will happen after them. Generational and that generational thought is so distant from our current generation. It's it's actually a very unique thing because for thousands of years, children grew up realizing that there's a tradition before them and a legacy to give and and to to combat the current crazy narcissism of the day." 
• 18:43 - "whenever I want to instill a value in our kids, we like to travel somewhere and then have a moment but also have an adventure to seal it in."

• 10:02 – Psalm 126:5 -”Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.” Relating this to the story of a farmer making the hard choice between feeding his family the only seed he has and starting a poverty cycle, or choosing to plant the seed and watch his family starve for a season but ultimately breaking the poverty cycle.

And so it probably will be the hardest thing that we ever do, is to go ‘this is really Who I am’ but you’ll receive love in a way you’ve never received love because people will love you exactly where you’re at, and not for what you want to show you are, they’ll know the real you. And therefore you’ll have the power to get out of it.”

Conversation Notes

 

• 2:45  - Talking about his “second great conversion”… “To become a son has changed everything for me…C.S. Lewis said, ‘I believe in Christianity like I believe in the sunrise.I believe in it because I see it every day, but it’s by the sun I see all things.' ...To become a son is my sunrise. I believe it because I’ve experienced it to be true. To unlearn God as Father the way I’ve learned it wrong and to open my heart to receive him as the true Father he intends to be. It’s by that I see all things.”
• 4:28 - Growing up in a home without God - winning the “game” of life - having success in many areas, but losing his soul.
• 5:26 - giving his life to God
• 6:24 - "God became my father, my pastor, my guide,  I entered into a slow and steady process of being initiated as a man and fathered as a son. And so where I find myself now is ...in process of over two decades of making my life about becoming the kind of man in whom God is glad to entrust more and more of the care of his kingdom, becoming more and more honest about what’s not yet, about what is under construction. But that used to feel like a weight and now feels like a promise because there’s so much hope.”
• 7:28  - His wife is the Chief Life Officer.
• 9:58 - His wife shared in counseling, “I feel like a bird locked in a cage. And I can’t fly"…. That wasn’t my heart’s intention at all. I dreamed about being a loving husband, but the fruit was I was a broken man, an unhealed boy inside a man that was still driving to get his question answered by achieving. I am loved when I come through. I am loved when I achieve. And now it’s just in the name of God, it’s just in the name of being a husband. And all the while my strength wasn’t actually rescuing the beauty, it wasn’t actually fighting for her, it was actually diminishing the glory of her life.”
• 11:29 - “I believe one of the greatest sacred trusts given to me is to champion her calling and allow her to thrive as the Chief Life Officer.”
• 11:47 - Finding the way to the center of your daughter’s heart.
• 12:16 - A birth experience gone wrong
• 13:27 - “God I agree with your story for my son, and I want to participate with what you have planned for him. I want to participate in initiation and I’ll participate in the birth story you have.”
• 13:47 - "God is very interested and motivated in the initiation of our children. It’s what makes Him come alive. He has their best interests in mind. And when I put down my agenda, I got curious. I got responsive. The path that my children have chosen and the God has chosen for them is not what I would have chosen in so many ways, but being a student and being attentive and participating has changed everything."
• 15:00 - Talking about his daughter - "I approach her with a question of ‘Holy Spirit would you show me her heart? Who did you make [her] to be? And how do I bring my delight to her and communicate consistently - [you] are loved. And there is nothing you can do or not do and say or not say  that will cause me to withdraw my delight. And if I can get that right, then everything else becomes secondary.”
• 18:13 - How do I initiate my son?
• 19:00 - "Fundamentally, when we can pull back from the trees and see the forest, we offer the sum total of who we’ve become, we will apprentice our kids for good or for ill into the person we’ve become.”
• 19:17 - Technology and growing up as an adolescent girl in our current culture.
• 20:16 - we try to offer what we haven’t received and offer what we haven’t become…..
• 21:52 - whole-hearted parenting and growing in union with God
• 22:00 - "We can only fake it for so long and until we come to an understanding that excavation is simply non-negotiable bc when we build on a shoddy foundation, we don't know until the storm comes but the storm will come. We are in a culture of uncertainty and in a time of shaking."
• 23:32 - Immaturity vs. sin
• 25:31 - "Reality is what we bump into when we're wrong." - Dallas Willard
• 26:10 - Look to the older men in your life and ask where did they get taken out or hijacked.
• 26:23 - "I have a choice. I either have to settle for engineering a small life, ... where life becomes mostly about comfort, security and arranging for a life that I can control, or at least have the illusion that I can control and it doesn't require me to change. And that's what most men become. Or I can take those exclamation points and I can start asking questions."
• 27:03 - "We really only have two choices, either humility or humiliation."
• 27:17 - "I realized the questions are the core to apprenticeship and it's the questions that led me back to the path of life."
• 30:21 - "Someone with my best interests in mind is at work. What I recovered was an upside down kingdom. Where most men build, the invitation was to stop building and allow God to excavate so that he can build your character - not just morality but whole-heartedness."
• 32:02 - "Actually it's the good soil, cultivated over time, that yields the supernatural harvest."
• 34:54 - PODCAST EPISODE ABOUT MARGIN
• 35:28 - How does a fish know that it's water is polluted?
• 36:45 - We are in an age of exponential change and we all, as a culture, carry more load than our limits.
• 37:15 - So if we come to terms that we are in an aggressive culture that wants to destroy our margin, the gap between our load and our limits, then we understand we have to fight to protect that space.
• 37:32 - "The great frontier in our age is our attention and our affection, and its in margin, its in the space between the load and limits, that we can recover our attention and our affection which was actually meant to be the epicenter of where we grow with intimacy with God."
• 39:00 - "Identify your load. Identify your healthy, sustainable limits. And if your load exceeds your limits, then that's a frontier in which you need to be curious with about God."

Conversation Notes

 

• 3:42  – Statement from a friend who works at Barna that heavily influenced Jon’s life, “The church has basically reached a point of irreversible decline statistically,  and by radical discipleship of our children, what would be described as a historic revival the church is beyond human turnaround. So it’s going to take an act of God and radical discipleship for our kids.”
• 5:00 – “The summer of covid-19 has probably been the hardest season of my life, but I’ve seen the greatest answers to prayer in my entire life this summer as well.”
• 5:28 – Thoughts on personal prayer life and for our kids. “Intercessory prayer for the places that we live, having a sense of call to shape a place through prayer, those are sort of the huge passions of my life and I think it’s the number one thing most people want to do, but don’t know how to do. And it’s the thing the enemy attacks the most because it’s where all the power and fruit lie.”
• 7:58 – How to coach our kids to pray? Make Jesus as compelling as possible. Also, stewarding your own life of prayer and sharing those answers with your kids. And make prayer fun. “The goal of prayer is to get your kids to love Jesus and I think when you’re a kid, making prayer as enjoyable as possible and having consistency over intensity.”
• 8:19 – Dr. David Ireland. Jon Tyson’s coach.
• 8:43 – Thoughts on having a coach, finding a coach, and what Jon has learned from that relationship and how it’s changed his life.
• 11:11 –  Reasons to have a coach – “I think everybody needs someone older speaking into what they do. It’s it’s quite often in midlife…you’ve got enough success, you’ve sort of built your own coping mechanisms, tactics… you’re kind of like ‘I can just keep it going… I’ve built a life [and] I can probably manage this thing out,’ and I was just like I need to get better. The future’s changing and as things grow I need to be more agile, so I need to get a different toolkit.”
• 13:25 – How to recognize a mentor? “I think… we all need to know what are we deeply called to, and then we’ll know when we have the right person to speak into our lives.”
• 13:44 – The Primal Path: Raising a Son of Consequence
• 15:19 – Sharing about writing meaningful letters to important people in our life.
• 15:53 – His son’s voluntary expression of gratitude and how it impacted him.
• 16:48 – Writing a letter to his dad to share with him what he got right.
• 17:52 – Richard Rohr – “Whatever pain is not transformed is transmitted.”  “We tend to break our kids in the same place that we are broken because we don’t know a way through it.”
• 19:48 The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me by Bruce Feiler
• 20:52 – The World Race
• 20:57 – Sharing about the experience for his son. “I wanted him in this liminal space. My goal was to irreparably break his heart for the poor of the world so he’d never just be a spoiled, complacent American ever – He’d always be haunted, because those years are so formative… I just wanted to get in there, God’s heart for the poor.”
• 21:51 – Book: The compound effect.
• 22:21 – Sharing the story of his son’s finishing The Primal Path with a 33 day hike across Spain
• 23:49 – Parenting through social contracts – agreements around responsibilities, rights and privileges. Inspired by Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families 
• 26:32 – Book: Parenting With Love And Logic by Foster Cline
• 27:18 – “We have a responsibility to take the beauty of Jesus and make him come alive in our kid’s hearts.”
• 28:03 – The Primal Path. “The missing piece in modern culture, designed to help you walk a kid from adolescence into adulthood.”
• 29:11 – “Designed to create a sacred relationship and a  sacred journey between his father and his kids to help them get into adulthood….if you don’t initiate your kids and take them on a journey, they will self-initiate, often through tremendous harm, or the culture will initiate them….it’s basically who’s going to design the pathway of helping your kids figure out life?
• 30:11 – “I’m trying to disrupt toxic masculinity and reclaim as normal a formation pathway from adolescence into manhood.”
• 30:23 – Pathway for his daughter – “50 Pieces of My Heart: 50 key deposits every father needs to make in his daughter’s life.”
• 30:50 – Jon’s next book, Intentional Father, Outlines five kinds of dads:
  • Irresponsible dads – come in, get out, do nothing
  • Ignorant dads – don’t know what they are doing and do damage
  • Inconsistent dads – torn with their own ambitions – often absent
  • Involved dads – our culture’s version of a great dad
  • Intentional Father – believes it’s the primary responsibility and builds a pathway based on who those kids are
• 32:33 – Sermon series around Altars. Message about the Home
• 32:54 – Most recent book: The Beautiful Resistance  – Being a dad of conviction vs. compromise. “Part of it comes with a sense of sort of working through your own drama… and figuring out what it is that God’s given you, understanding what faithfulness to Jesus looks like, and then fundamentally breaking the fear of man… I’m not going to give an account to our culture for my life, I’m going to give an account to Jesus and there’s joy in having convictions and there’s joy in keeping them.”
• 34:24 – “Work out the convictions that God puts in your heart, convictions about discipleship, and then just don’t care what people think. And it takes a lot of work and maintenance to not care what people think. And then to raise kids who are not controlled by the fear of man or the culture. You can’t impart that if you don’t have that. So there’s a lot of soul work that you need to do to understand your own values and your own convictions and then be willing to literally go to war for them.”
• 37:12 – “Maintain the emotional bond with your kid. Kids come out of the womb with an emotional bond. Cultivate it. Keep it. That’s the most important principle. So whenever you want to do any of these things, there’s a connection where they trust you and they see that it’s worth it.”

  Conversation Notes

 

• 3:30 – “I think that we are called to pour our life into what will be left behind…I’m convinced that what will be left behind is not structures we built, not things we implemented, but just people that we fathered – that’s what’s going to be left behind.”
• 3:51 – “I feel like I am to bring my life to the next generation and lay it down for them and give it to them.”
• 4:44 – Dads being dreamers vs. Dads settling
• 5:45 – “When I stop dreaming, when I stop allowing my heart to really dream about things that apart from God are impossible, I not longer kind of lean in, I begin to lean back. I don’t engage, I disengage. And I would say the greatest thing in the world you could do for your kids is to be a dreamer that’s pursuing what God has in your life.”
• 6:17 – “So I think our kids seeing us pursue the dreams that are in our heart is a really critical part of our fathering and discipling of them.”
• 7:02 – “I think what we do comes out of who we are, and that we can’t be defined by what we do.”
• 7:14 – We have a call to “be” which is our IDENTITY and we have a call to “do” which is our MISSION.
• 8:03 – Challenging dads to not settle for anything less than the fullness of God in your life.
• 10:12 – “As long as you move at the speed of obedience, and as long as you move with the speed of community and covering, then you’ll never be off, and even when you are off a little bit there will be grace because your heart is to be in this lane.”
• 12:20 – Banning’s new book – The Three Mile Walk:The Courage to Live the Life God Wants for You
• 12:43 – Family moments during quarantine
• 14:34 – Dad hacks to stay connected to the kids traveling
• 15:01 – “My kids are going to sacrifice for who I am and and the call on my life, but they also need to benefit and be blessed from that.”
• 15:54 – “Whatever you do, like what I do to provide for the family has some cost involved, but I also want to make sure that there’s blessing involved and that my kids are connected to it..make sure blessing is connected to the sacrifice as well and that it’s not just sacrifice, it’s not just that dad’s gone.”
• 18:07 – A story of trusting God with his kids
• 20:59 – “At the end of the day, what we know is this: any area of my life that has blessed, any area of my life that has wisdom attached to it, any area of my life that has fruit attached to it, it’s because other people have joined me in it.”
• 22:03 – “When I stand before God one day, [He’s going to say] I didn’t just require your best, I require your best and the best of these people I put around you, so when it comes to father I think the reality is our best ins’t good enough – that’s really never meant to be good enough.  It’ snot just my best I’m bringing to the is equation, it’s my best and it’s the best of…these men that pour into my life, that walk with me, that then allows me to be a good father.”
• 22:46 – “When I allow myself to be isolated, when I allow myself to be independent, when i allow myself to think that I just should be able to do this on my own and I don’t need anybody speaking into my life or challenging me or encouraging me, well I just want to say that your best isn’t good enough…God didn’t set it up that way.”
• 23:09 – “God didn’t set it up where…it’s just you and nobody else, you just give it your best. He’s like, I put a whole family around you and I’m bringing those strengths into your life so that you can accomplish what I’ve asked you to accomplish and raise these kids.”
• 23:26 – “There’s not one area of my life that hasn’t been touched by the strength of other and that’s why it has a measure of success to it.”
• 23:38 – The Three Mile Walk:The Courage to Live the Life God Wants for You  – Banning Liebscher
• 25:47 – “Those that are fully alive are the ones that are fully engaged to the call of God to be and to do.”
• 26:51 – “If you’re listening to this podcast I can only imagine then that you have a desire to be a great father. Being a great father takes a massive amount of courage…facing the things you have to face internally, looking at your weaknesses and trying to grow, saying God I want to be more patient…but if I’m going to be who God’s called me to be as a father, it requires me to be encouraged.”
• 28:10 – Reinhardt Bonnke’s book, “Living a Life of Fire”
• 30:51 – When I had my first kid, I realized the greatest think I’ll ever do with my life is raise this kid, and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done hands down. Hands down being a dad is the hardest thing I have ever done and it has challenged me in ways I didn’t even know I could be challenged. It is scary, it is vulnerable, it is raw, and by far the best thing I’ve ever done and the greatest legacy I’ll leave.”

• 18:38 – “We are reaping the fruit of a lot of human brokenness generationally….Many kids are growing up either without a dad present, or without a present dad. He might be taken home, but he’s so taken out himself.”
