FSM
Parker and I had our weekly Father/Son Meeting (FSM) on Saturday night. Part of the spiritual challenge is reading through the New Testament together and discussing it. So I told Parker to underline verses or write in the margins when he came across verses that really spoke to him. It was absolutely fascinating to see which verses he underlined and why! And what was cool about this FSM is that Parker did most of the talking. I really felt like it helped me know how he thinks. And it never ceases to amaze me the way the Bible brings up the issues we need to talk about!
I really want Parker to learn to feed himself spiritually. And the only way that happens is if you learn to study the Bible yourself and put it into practice. I'm hoping this year of discipleship lays that foundation in his life.

Wow, what a great idea! Excellent example for other parents!
Just curious...
How old is your son?
Hey Tim,
He's a pre-teen. I think that is a great stage to start formalized discipling. You want to do it when they are mature enough to have a spiritual conversation, but don't wait till it gets too crazy :)
My two cents,

Thx... mine's only 3! :) Looking forward to that idea though. THX
Mark,
I know why you are working on this discipleship process, but how'd you get ideas on how to conduct it?
Brandon,
A ton of different places, but I loved "Raising a Modern Day Knight." Definitely worth the read for dads! That would be a good starting point.
