It can be very easy to get carried away with our authority as dads. We can lose our identity as a dad and start to act like we are the one who sits on the throne with ultimate dominion.

We must always remember that we are not God and we need to be careful to not father our children like we are. To assist you in maintaining your proper identity as a dad I want to discuss:

• How we should understand our place and authority
• Why it’s important to allow our kids to ask questions
• The difference between fear and reverence

As dads we have no better example than our Father in heaven. He is the one we are to learn from and emulate. However, if we really look at our Father, we might be surprised by what we find.

For this Father’s Day, I want to help you see our Father and His most outstanding quality. God is many things but there is one thing that rises to the top, and that is the one thing we should focus on.

I always ask people what their best piece of advice for dads is. This week I want to share my best piece of advice for dads.

When I talk to Christian dads, there is a constant that tends to come up. These men grew up living the faith they were told to live without truly understanding it. Then upon becoming dads and receiving the calling of discipling their children, they realize they do not know what to teach their kids. As they begin to better understand their faith, they realize what they have believed and lived does not have a lot of biblical support. Then comes the faith crisis.

If this is you, do not worry. This is normal and actually a good thing.

I am joined today by Steve Schobert, pastor and scholar, to talk about how we go about faithfully navigating faith crises. He shares wisdom on:

• How to respond to a faith crisis
• Strategies to faithfully navigate a faith crisis
• A practice to proactively prepare yourself for a faith crisis

If you are a Christian and a dad, this will be a tremendous blessing and resource for you.

CDLS (Cornelia de Lange Syndrome) is not something you hear about all the time. Unless you are like my friend, Greg, and have a daughter who has CDLS.

May 10, is CDLS awareness day and I am happy to have Greg Peters join me again to talk about his experiences while raising his daughter, Remy. In our last conversation, we spoke mostly of the challenges and the uncertainties, but today we focus on the positives. Greg shares how Remy was an answer to prayer and continues to be a source of joy in his life.

People are searching for happiness, especially in the United States. The 2025 World Happiness Report shows that the U.S. continues to fall on the list of happiest places. If you, like myself, live in the U.S. and struggle to find happiness, you’re in luck.

The 2025 World Happiness Report mentioned something that has been a practice of our Heavenly Father for quite some time — the importance of sitting down at a table and having a meal with someone. I want to tell you how God has gone about this and what actually happens at the table that contributes to our happiness. I also want to tell you how you can emulate this in order to bring happiness to your children.

Happiness is not as far away as you may think. Happiness is found at the table.
