Luke 11: ¹¹Which one of you fathers would give your hungry child a snake if the child asked for a fish? ¹²Which one of you would give your child a scorpion if the child asked for an egg? ¹³As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks. (CEV)
1. Why do we have many myths and misconceptions about how Dads are involved in family life?

Ephesians 6: ⁴And now a word to you fathers. Don't make your children angry by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction approved by the Lord. (NLT
2. What is unique in the role God gives Dads in bringing up their children?

1 Corinthians 12: ⁵There are different ways to serve the same Lord, ⁶and we can each do different things. Yet the same God works in all of us and helps us in everything we do. ⁷The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others. (CEV)
3. How do Dads and Moms differ in the way they prepare their children to face life?

Proverbs 22: ⁶Teach your children to choose the right path, and when they are older, they will remain upon it. (NLT)
4. Why do fathers need to have constant feedback and see fatherhood as a long term process?

1 Peter 1: ⁵You have faith in God, whose power will protect you until the last day. Then he will save you, just as he has always planned to do. ⁶On that day you will be glad, even if you have to go through many hard trials for a while. ⁷Your faith will be like gold that has been tested in a fire. And these trials will prove that your faith is worth much more than gold that can be destroyed. They will show that you will be given praise and honor and glory when Jesus Christ returns. (CEV)
5. Describe how your Dad showed you that he loved being your Dad, enjoying this life journey.

1 John 4: ²¹The commandment that God has given us is: "Love God and love each other!" (CEV)
6. Tell us why you think that God considers good fathering and good marriages go together.

1 Thessalonians 2: ¹¹And you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children. ¹²We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you into his Kingdom to share his glory. (NLT)
7. How does having a heart for your children give them the best encouragement for loving God?
