At the edge of the Promised Land, Moses made it clear that fathers and grandfathers needed to get in the game with their sons.

Talking Points:

  • Moses got pretty serious with the fathers and grandfathers before releasing them into the Promised Land. He gave them one final pep talk. Deuteronomy 6:4-8 
  • He reminded them to love God with their whole hearts and commit to talking regularly to their kids about God’s commandments, like wearing your emotions “on your sleeves”. 
  • You don’t have to be a Bible scholar to be qualified for this as a dad. Use the resources on the men’s page, especially the series Proverbs for Men and Boys.
Discussion:
  1. Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
  2. What kind of a relationship did you have with your dad?
