A group of men met for the second time in DUMC Fathers Club last night. We started our first session of our book study on “The 7 Secrets of Effective Fathers”. This is the first of 7 fortnightly studies that we will do together. A total of 66 men, including some single men, came together to want to learn to be better fathers! What an encouragement!
Not only are they committed to learn together, they will be meeting in small groups on another day after each session to keep each other accountable and encouraged. These are men who are prepared to be committed to their role as fathers. I feel the enthusiasm and passion of these men in the room as we pray for each other and listened to the heartbeat of our Heavenly Father.
What is even more soul-searching (with trepidation!) is the homework they are to do and it is to do an interview with their wives and children how they are faring so far as fathers. You can’t get any more serious than this because it takes a humble man to accept without question (but with clarification) any feedback he can get from the family to better himself.
Keep us in prayer! I really believe God is going to start a movement of godly fathers who will in turn learn to be spiritual fathers in the church. There will be stronger families when we as fathers get our act together and the best part is, we are doing it together.
