I don’t claim to be a perfect father by any stretch of the imagination but I do have some experience now that I have five children between the ages of 3 and almost 14.

In this episode of “Now is the Time” I share a story about how I ran away from home as a child! I also talk about why and how fathers can seek their children as an act of worship.
God the Father seeks us when we are rebellious and straying from him. Check out what Ezekiel 34:2-16 has to say.
How can we as fathers seek our children?
1. We seek them by striving to know and understand their unique personalities. 2. We seek them by lovingly correcting them. 3. We seek them by teaching them and being an example to them. 4. We seek them by sacrificing our time and energy for them.Announcements:
- We need your support for our student mission trip to Perm, Russia. Learn how you can help!
- You can now subscribe to “Now is the Time” in iTunes
Question: What are some other ways you can seek your children?

July 2, 2013Awesome podcast, Caleb. Convicting and inspiring.
It reminds me in a way about things I’ve heard about loving our wives like Christ loves the church – Christ pursues us.
And the podcast sounds great!

July 2, 2013Thanks for the encouragement! I’m glad you like the sound since I know your podcasts sound super awesome. For now I’m recording in my closet surrounded by hanging clothes for sound insulation. I have a better microphone but I need to set up a little studio with a soundboard in order to use it. Maybe after my Russia trip I’ll be able to get to that.
