052 | Dads, Provide for Your Family

Hey Fellow Dads,

Have you ever wondered if you’re providing enough for your family? What kind of provider is God for us, and how should we illustrate Him in the way we provide for our wives and children? What pitfalls do we need to be careful to avoid? Join us as my friend Daniel shares how we need to provide for our children in more than just financial ways, and gives some great book recommendations to help us partner with God in providing for our families.

Quotes (by Daniel York)

• “We know that God doesn’t always give us everything we want, but He does give us everything that we need.”
• “When they can’t trust the men in their life, they’re more hesitant to trust God.”
• “Give your children the provision they need and let them learn to be thankful with that….Teach your children to be thankful and accept the provision that is given to them.”
• “That budget—you gotta know where your money’s going!….You really got to be intentional with your money. If you’re not, it’s going to control you instead of you controlling it.”
• “I have to remember that in some ways, that financial provision…it could almost be one of the least important things. If all I’m doing is providing for my family financially—that’s not the most important thing.”
• “Our time is so short with our kids.”
• “You need to be okay with repeating yourself to your children, because God does it to us.”
• “Don’t assume your wife is giving all the spiritual things your kids need throughout the day while you’re gone at work. Make a plan for that. Figure that out and talk to her about how you’re going to make that happen.”
• “What is precious?”
• “Keep the perspective of what is important. Don’t let the culture around you dictate what is important and how you think.”
• “Teach your children to think.”
