"In his article “Dads Need to Ask Forgiveness” Joe paints the all too common picture of a dad coming home from a hard day at work and sinning in some way against your kids, and Joe asks the question, How will you respond to your failure?"

Join Kris and John as they discuss failure and forgiveness in this episode of the Growing Fathers Podcast.

"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 fatal." Caleb French

"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?"

"What’s Best Next [by Matt Perman] was the biggest game changer I have read in a long time. Since reading it, I have beefed up my personal mission statement, written out my life goals, created a personal time map that makes both my work and my rest more productive, added the essential habit of weekly planning, revamped my task lists, and implemented new ways to keep track of my projects."

Our article for today is called “Teaching Your Children to Resolve Conflict” and it is written by Chris Pennington who we will take every opportunity to remind people, is much of the reason why Growing Fathers still exists today. He’s our webmaster. He’s officially our “technical director,” and he’s a friend. He is a pastor out in beautiful Eden, Utah. He is married to Megan and he has two girls and a boy.

Today we’re trying something new! We’re going to be taking a look at a Bible Storybook that happens to be Kristopher’s favorite which is why he wrote a book review article about it. We’ll talk about what sets it apart from other storybooks as well as what part a storybook should have in your family’s life. This isn’t an episode on family devotions but we’ll touch on that some as well.

You have so much to do today. You had so much to do yesterday. You will have so much to do tomorrow. In fact, now that you think about it, you’ve remembered that thing you didn’t do yesterday that you will have to try to do today, or maybe tomorrow.

Responsible people are busy. 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. We hope to answer some of these questions in this Episode.
