How Do You Measure Success as a Dad?

Following Jesus has never been harder. In a culture that glamorizes sex, chases fame, and shames those who dont fall in line, it takes a rebel to be a Christian.

In today's interview, Sean McDowell sits down with host Jerrad Lopes to encourage and inspire a generation of rebels who will dare to stand up to the madness in a just and loving manner.

“We have to be living in a way that our kids find compelling” -Sean McDowell

1. Do you think your kids think “I want what my parents have!”? Why or why not? And what can you do to enhance that further or change in your life to start that?
2. Are you having Intentional spiritual conversations with your kids? How can you start or what are you doing that is working/not working?
3. Are you willing to ask your kids the tough questions, and to listen well to what they are thinking?
4. Do you listen to what your kids are talking about so that you can start conversation with them or do you only wait till they bring things up or talk to them about what you want?
5. Are you prone to lecture rather than start conversations with your kids? How can you flip this habit to be more intentional about asking your kids questions?
6. Do your kids know you love them, are on their team and are for them, and working for their good? How do they know? If not, how can you make this a priority for your kid to know this fully?
7. Are you thinking Christianly or Biblically? Is there is a difference to you? How can you apply this concept in your daily life?
