Be the Dad...who Teaches

Teaching means taking an active role in your child's spiritual growth and education. Too many Dads pass that responsibility off to their spouse or to their church.

Children are pressed from many sides, a Dad's instruction and direction can make the difference in an uncertain world.

Every Dad can be "Be the Dad...who Blesses".

Colleague Training - Session 10

Class leaders will find this last training session both encouraging and challenging. Most Dads feel they are doing a pretty good job of providing for and protecting their children.
