F@H Dads

Welcome to the Faith@Home movement dad! It’s great to have you on board. If you are like most dads you want what’s best for your kids and you realize that you have a lot of influence over what your child’s interests will be and who they will become. And one thing we must understand is that as dads we will hold the most influence over whether our children will follow God and His ways or not. In other words, as dads we hold the most influence over the eternal destiny (heaven or hell) of our children. I recognize that this is heavy but the last thing I want you doing is looking back at your life later saying, “I wish someone would have told me.” Therefore, the Faith@Home dad section of this website has been designed to help you become the type of dad that influences your children to follow God so that they will end up in heaven with you. How does that sound? So let’s get started.

Step 1 – Read Faith Begins@Home Dad

Most Christian dads want to be the kind of father who guides his children in their walk with God but many don’t have the first clue where to start. In Faith Begins@Home Dad, dads will find step-by-step tips and age appropriate guides for leading their family’s spiritual development, as well as true life stories from other dads experiencing the power and blessing of God in their homes as they develop their “spiritual skills” with their children.

Step 2 – Read Faith Begins At Home

In this engaging book, you will learn about the importance of you and your spouse’s walk with the Lord; of using the gifts and experiences of grandparents, elders and mentors in the family; and of the role the church should play with families. Filled with a wealth of practical ideas, inspirational stories and biblical truth, Faith Begins At Home will help parents establish their home as the primary place where faith is nurtured.

Step 3 – Sign up for Faith@Home Online Coaching for Dads

Step 4 – Watch the Raising Kids With A Faith That Lasts DVD With Your Spouse and/or other Parents

One of the best things you can do is to connect with a few other parents like you, who are seeking to become more Faith@Home focused as parents.

The six lessons on this DVD will provide inspiration and insight to help parents raise kids with a faith that lasts. Foundational parenting topics covered include introducing your child to faith, creating a faith plan for your family, and assessing the spiritual needs of your children.
