Parenting is tough. Some seasons of life are harder than others. Resist the thoughts of: "I'll be happy when he sleeps through the night." "I'll be relieved when they go back to school." "I can't wait until . . ." Soak up all you can now, don't wish for time to accelerate.
Fatherhood Statistics are eye opening. The fact you are even physically in your child's life appears to be a win. By why stop there? theintentionalfather.com/post/why-a-fat…

Why a Father Matters
The Intentional Father's mission is to encourage and equip fathers to be both physically and emotionally present in their child's life on a daily basis. Be intentional in spending time with them. Be...
As a parent, you perform acts of service, love, selflessness, kindness, everything for your children, expecting nothing in return. Ever. You do it for them. Not to fulfill a want or desire in your life.
An oak tree can produce 10,000 acorns a season. Many will become oaks and produce similarly. Then, the process repeats. Continually. As a father, you are the oak. The acorns or seeds are your influence. What kind of seeds are you planting? theintentionalfather.com/post/the-power…

The Power of a Father's Influence: Living Intentionally
A Fathers influence is immeasurable. Extending far beyond your children, impacting generations to come. What kind of seeds are you planting?
Children only ask you to play with them for so long. Infants only sleep on your chest for a short while. Toddlers grow and stop laughing at silly faces. Shift your mind today and prioritize your family first.
There is no wrong way to pray. Pray out loud & let your children hear you. Don't get caught up in the specific words or feel like it has to sound a certain way. Start small, give yourself grace, and keep it short. The Lord knows what's in your heart.
Being a father is challenging. Even moreso when we have our own personal struggles to endure. While our mission is to encourage fathers to be present and intentional daily with your children, ensure you take time for yourself on a consistent basis to mentally reset.
Bolster your children's interests. I'm a firm believer that if they find their passions in life it will strengthen their self worth. If they have self worth, they are less apt to be drug down or negatively altered by the world and its trials. More ↓ theintentionalfather.com/post/bolster-y…
Children are meant to get dirty. The first thing my boys do when we go outside is grab a handful of dirt or jump in the mud. Embrace it. Let them explore, dig, and splash. Everything can be cleaned.
Our children are more capable than we allow. We are what's holding them back. We are in a hurry. We don't want a potential mess. We don't want the potential for pain. We don't want to exude extra energy. Get out of their way. Let them do, spill, fall, fail, learn, and grow.
These lessons are an aggregation of thoughts and knowledge learned through listening, watching, or doing throughout my life. As I continue to learn and grow, I too will continually refine and hone skills, thoughts, and actions. For now, this will do. theintentionalfather.com/post/lessons-f…

To my children: You are ultimately responsible for your actions. However, your actions are heavily influenced by your friends, your environment, and what you feed your mind. Surround and infuse yourself with wholesome people and content. Your actions will directly benefit.

We have 3 kids. Our house is a literal circus. At times it's hard to find time that serves each kid. My wife and I created a system, we have "timers". Set a timer, have your child pick the activity, spend good ole quality time with them on their terms. theintentionalfather.com/intentional-ac…
A road trip is an excellent way to get some place, but on the way it is an opportunity for your family to create memories. You are all in the vehicle, headed in the same vector, attempting to arrive at a set destination. Make use of it for the better! theintentionalfather.com/post/road-trip

Teach your children how to maneuver through adversity. We are stronger when we come out the other side of any affliction. Later in Romans, Paul tells us how to begin the approach: "Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. - Romans 12:12
