Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle encourages fathers to make the most of the holidays this year.
'Tis the season for Dad to drop the holiday ball, stress out as the money is being spent for presents, and miss yet another providential opportunity to lovingly lead his family. So, this blog is intended to help dads not fall into the same old rut of holiday humdrum, sitting on the couch watching football and eating carbs, but rather intentionally plan out the upcoming holiday season. Our children grow quickly and if we miss the sacred moments God opens up for us to connect with and bless our families, everyone suffers and we set in motion generations of missed opportunity.

#15 - Dad needs to read about Jesus and pray over his kids. Dad, how's your pastoral work going with each of your kids?
