Your Kids’ Faith Depends on This (Dads, Watch This)

Dads as the Chief Priest of the Home: Lead Your Family Into God’s Presence Dr. Chris Harper and Josiah Jones discuss a father’s responsibility as the “chief priest” of his home, meaning he should usher his family into God’s presence through church involvement, daily worship, and consistent prayer. Harper challenges men to lead with enthusiasm when the church is open, arguing dads set the emotional and spiritual “temperature” of the household, and suggests changing churches if the current one doesn’t call men to mission. They emphasize bringing “church” into the living room through Scripture, singing, catechism, and connecting everyday gifts (meals, sports, vacations) back to the Creator to cultivate worship and gratitude. Using Job’s continual offerings as a model, Harper calls fathers to intercede daily for their children, highlighting faithful, simple rhythms over flashy experiences, and closes by previewing a future episode on fathers as kings in the home.
