Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The Kendricks describe the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) as the model for intentional fatherhood — faith is meant to be woven into the fabric of everyday life, not reserved for Sunday mornings. How naturally or unnaturally does spiritual conversation flow in your home?
2.The chapter challenges the common approach of 'dropping kids off' at church and expecting professionals to do the spiritual formation. What is the father's unique and irreplaceable role that no pastor or Sunday school teacher can fulfill?
3.Ephesians 6:4 calls fathers not to 'provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.' The Kendricks note that many fathers err in one of two directions — too harsh or too permissive. Which direction do you tend to drift, and what does it cost your children?
a.What would it look like to apply 'discipline and instruction' in a way that keeps grace and truth in balance?
