Cut yourself some slack

I received some feedback in regards to the previous episode about commander’s intent

Not everything is worth a fight. Save your bullets for when you really need them.

When you're struggling, when you're in the middle of hardship, Jesus says to consider it a good thing. Matthew 5:12 2 Corinthians 6:10 2 Corinthians 12:10 James 1:2-4

Matthew 4:19

The best way to teach our kids how to forgive is to ask them to forgive us when we’ve done wrong.

John 14:27 John 16:33 Matthew 6:25-26 Philippians 4:6-7

Decentralizing command at home instead of expecting kids to just follow orders

No matter what our circumstances, God will always be worthy of worship.

Struggle can mean growth and we should value that.

Matthew 4:17, Luke 13:3

Are you on the fence about a decision? Taking a risk just might be the best choice.

It's a deadly game to compare your life to others' lives. Everyone has their own good and their own bad.

The best way to start your day is with a powerful gratitude mindset.

Major victories in fatherhood can take years of hard work. Along the way there are many small wins that we can celebrate.

Stop putting things off. "Someday" eventually comes and you've got to make good on all of those promises.

Sometimes we teach our kids without trying

People are remaining children long into what should be adulthood. You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

It's not about your circumstances. Are you, right here and right now, the kind of person you want to be?

We have a choice to make in raising independent children

Sometimes the things we complain about are blessings

“Father” is more than a title. It’s a calling.
