Hey men, we’re in the last episode of our Fathers and Daughters series.  I hope this has been helpful.  I know it’s been convicting for me, but encouraging, too. I actually have some action steps coming out of today’s episode with my own daughter, and I’d encourage you to think about action steps for yourself coming out of it as well.  

•  Let’s just do a quick recap if you missed the first two episodes in this series.  If you did, I encourage you to go back and listen when you have some time.  In the first episode we talked about the importance of loving our wives well so that our daughters can see what to look for in a man.  We talked about being intentional about speaking their love language and staying in our lane.  The truth is that there are some conversations better left to have between your daughter and your wife or another trusted Christian woman if you’re in a single parent situation. 
• Last episode we talked about speaking   truth against the lies of the enemy in the areas of beauty,  differences between the genders, and purity.  Today, is going to be a little bit more of a mixed bag.  I knew it was the last episode for this series and just wanted to hit a couple of highlights.  This may not be as structured as our typical episode, but I’m hopeful and prayerful that it is still valuable.  

Quality Time

Spending quality time with our daughters is critical, even if it isn’t their primary love language.  They get to define what that quality time looks like for them.

Philippians 2:3-8 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.6 Though he was God,[a]                 he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];  he took the humble position of a slave[c]  and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form,[d] 8   he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. 

• Our daughters should get a say on what constitutes quality time. 
• Rhonda - loved to hike, camp, backpack, fish - didn’t like to shop.  Some of the reasons I was so attracted to her. We share a lot of similar interests. 
• Healthy to expose them to new things, get them to try new things. Sometimes you discover something you love to do together.  But that’s not always the case. Sometimes you have to take one for the team and do something you don’t necessarily enjoy. Do it with the right attitude.   Love is a choice. I don’t think Jesus...
