Are we parenting God's way or following the patterns of culture? Parenting is filled with challenges and requires spiritual grit. Our goal isn't just our children's short-term happiness but it's their long-term faithfulness in a complex world. To help them develop spiritual resilience, we must resist the urge to rescue them too quickly and model a genuine faith of our own. Who and what influences our children will shape who they become.

How do you know your faith is being tested? What about those moments when you start to question God's goodness? The trial of brokenness in marriage produces a testing of our faith. In marriage, we don't fix brokenness by fixing the other person. We fix brokenness by fighting for oneness. True oneness in marriage is a daily choice built through grace, honesty, and healing words. This pursuit of unity reflects a greater love story, our oneness with Christ.

God calls every man to be a spiritual father. Like Abraham, we're called to be faithful followers, loving leaders, and humble warriors. That means walking in obedience, laying our lives down for others, and trusting God deeply, even when the path is unclear. Spiritual fatherhood isn't about perfection; it's about surrender, courage, and letting God build something lasting through us.
