Father’s Day Contest

Father’s Day is a special occasion when we take a moment to honor and appreciate the incredible influence dads have on their children’s lives. At the National Center for Biblical Parenting, we believe that parenting is not just a duty but also a heartfelt commitment.

In anticipation of this meaningful celebration, we invite you to share something special about your own father, highlighting the positive impact he has had on your life. By participating, you’ll also have a chance to win a copy of our book, Parenting is Heart Work.

So, let’s take this opportunity to express our gratitude and acknowledge the profound lessons our fathers have imparted.

As I reflect on my own father, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the invaluable lessons he taught me about spiritual leadership. From an early age, he instilled in me the importance of serving the Lord with my whole heart. Through his guidance, I learned the significance of dedicating myself to something greater than personal achievements.

One of the most remarkable ways my father encouraged my spiritual growth was by helping me memorize over 200 Bible verses during my preschool years and around 1500 verses by the time I turned 18. This foundation in God’s Word became a compass for my life and continues to guide me in my journey.

Moreover, my dad actively provided opportunities for me to serve within our church community. He understood the transformative power of involvement in God’s church, and by giving me these chances, he allowed my love for the church to flourish. I am forever grateful for the spiritual nourishment and personal growth that stemmed from these experiences.

One particular memory stands out in my mind, demonstrating my father’s unwavering support for my aspirations. I recall a time when he encouraged me to work with the third-grade Sunday school class, even though it meant missing out on my usual youth group activities. Some of the youth leaders were disappointed, but my father stood by my decision and allowed me to lead. This act of trust and encouragement instilled in me a sense of confidence, teaching me the importance of taking risks and stepping into leadership roles.

Father’s Day is a time for us to express our appreciation for the love, guidance, and sacrifice of our fathers. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the life lessons they have given us, the values they have instilled, and the positive impact they continue to have.

Now, it’s your turn to share! We invite you to join us in celebrating your dad by sharing something special about him in the comments section of our blog post or in our Facebook group. By participating, you’ll have the chance to win a copy of our book, “Parenting is Heart Work.” Feel free to share in both places for an increased chance to win.

This Father’s Day, let us come together as a community to celebrate the influential role of fathers and the lasting impressions they leave on our lives. By sharing our heartfelt tributes and expressing our gratitude, we not only honor our own dads but also inspire others to cherish the unique bonds they have with their fathers. Join us in this meaningful journey of reflection and appreciation as we recognize the extraordinary impact of fatherhood.
