This week we are joined by Zach Thompson to discuss camping with your family. What value can this bring to your family culture? What do you need to camp successfully? How can you ease into camping depending on your family's stage in life, and what qualifies as "camping" in the first place?

What sort of encounter with faerie land is needed for dads? What is at stake in the small moments where our kids ask for our tuppence?

This week we talk about how to prepare for Lord's Day worship. What can you do ahead of time to help your children prepare their hearts and minds? How do you keep track of all the socks on Sunday morning? Is the worship gathering significant enough to warrant developing extra systems in order to arrive on time and cheerfully?

This week we begin a short series on how dads can approach the Lord's Day and lead their families through the most important thing we do. We begin by examining what happens each week as the church gathers. Is the service something we give to God or something we receive from him? How is God's presence unique? What patterns does the Bible offer for us to give structure to our weekly gathering and lead our families through it?
