Moses asked God the same question. God did not hand him a resume. He said, "I will be with you." Exodus 3:11-12

Moses was not qualified by his resume. He was called. So are you.

You work hard. You provide. You come home every night. But when it is time to lead your family spiritually, you go quiet, because you know what you carry. You figure it is better to say nothing than to be a fraud.

This book is for that dad. I was that dad. It is not a book of rules and it is not a guilt trip. You have had plenty of those already, most of them from yourself.

What you get

Five days. Five steps.

The book gives you the five steps. The course walks with you through your first week, one step each morning. None of them are complicated. You do not have to have it all together to start. You just have to start.

  1. Know who you are in Christ Day 1Your standing with God rests on what Jesus did, not on what you did. Write Hebrews 10:14 on a card and put it where you will see it.
  2. Take responsibility for your own growth Day 2Open your Bible during the week, not just on Sunday. Start with James, one chapter a day.
  3. Show up on Sunday Day 3You do not go because you have it together. You go because you do not. Put the next four Sundays on the calendar first.
  4. Stop fighting alone Day 4Reach out to one man whose faith you respect and ask him to coffee.
  5. Bring it home Day 5Fifteen minutes at the table with your family: thankful, read, talk, apply, pray.

Who wrote this

Nobody would have called me absent. But I was.

I am Rob Thompson. Husband. Father of four. For years my evenings looked the same: work, dinner, the couch, bed. I provided. I came home every night. But there was a spiritual leadership vacuum in our home, and I was not stepping up to fill it. I was losing private battles that kept me quiet.

I did not wake up one day good enough. I started taking a few simple steps, and I kept taking them. They changed me, and they changed my home. Today I am present with my kids, connected with my wife, and free to lead my family without guilt and shame.

"But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15

You were never qualified. You were called.
