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?

This week we look further at technology in the home, specifically as it regards so-called artificial "intelligence." Is AI unique, or is it just like any other tool? What are the stakes for how AI shapes those who use it and affects our understanding of what it means to be human? Are there lawful uses, and how should dads be wary of problematic temptations regarding AI in our homes?
