037 | Lead Your Family Even When You're Not Home
Manage episode 414539804 series 3523085
Hey Dads,
Nothing can replace your voice speaking truth and stability into your children’s hearts, and no one can replace you being present in their lives. But is there a way they can continue to hear your voice when you have to be away for a time?
In this episode I discuss one way we can reach out to our children—even from afar—to influence them with truth, bind our hearts together with theirs, and simply show them we’re thinking about them and love them. This small project can be fun for you, meaningful for your family, and easy enough to start today!
--Nathan
What would I talk about?- Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
