Over the last decade a term has been popularized in Christian circles: deconstruction. The premise is essentially dismantling one’s faith one brick at a time. For Christian dads, this should propel us to focus on properly teaching and living out biblical truths to our kids.

I’m joined today by Pastor Nicholas McDonald, author of The Light in Our Eyes, to talk more about deconstruction. You’ll learn:

• How to think about deconstruction
• 4 phases of deconstruction
• Ancient practices that can help establish a strong faith

Have you ever said:

• You should be ashamed of yourself

• Stop acting like a baby

• It’s my way or the highway

• Because I said so

If you have not used these, you have probably used something similar. While there are wonderful things we can learn from our parents and glean from previous generation, there are particular phrases that we can think back on that no parent should ever say.

I want to help you identify these phrases and provide a more Christ-honoring approach. We are going to focus on 10 phrases that have been commonly used by parents that are wrong for any parent to use.

A few weeks back I was joined by Dr. Meg Meeker to talk about the necessity of a dad for daughters. This week I want to take things a step further and help you see that your daughters do not just need you but they truly want you.

I came across a letter from my wife’s grandmother where she wrote about her testimony. Much of the emptiness and distress she mentions was due to her relationship with her dad. I want to share this reflective insight to help you realize the desire your daughters have for you and the need for you to turn your attention to them as well.
