FSM
Every week Parker and I do an FSM--Father/Son Meeting. It is the most important meeting of my week. Honestly, not all of the meetings are all that exciting. But they give us a consistent touch point. And some of our FSM's are pretty significant. That is how I feel about tonight's meeting. As part of the covenant we signed, I am helping Parker come up with his first list of life goals. He is at 43 goals as of tonight. What's cool to me is that we have lots of shared goals. It'll be a ton of fun going after those goals together!

This is cool, man... inspiring to see a bro be intentional with his boy. Very cool, my man...
You know it's so funny. I came to your blog tonight having thought a lot about reading about your time with your son and wanting some more info about that and saw this post on the main page!
My son is 6 and I took him for our first discipleship breakfast a couple of weeks ago. I really want to start pouring into him early, but am not sure where exactly to start.
Could you shoot me an e-mail when you get a sec about what you've done at what age and how you got started, etc?
Blessings!
Hi,
I am trying to do this with my two daughters , neither wants to go to breakfast with me and just talk. They are 10 and 12, any idea how I get them to want them to spedn time with me. I have been asking for over a year and every week it is the same, no! Discourage but pressing on to find out whats not clicking.

Tim,
A few thoughts. #1 Maybe they aren't morning kids? I don't know, but find a time slot that seems to work for them. I'd do it one-on-one. And part of it is figuring out what they'd love to do or where they'd love to go. Maybe a Hannah Montana concert or the mall would be a good place to start :) You go where they want and tag on some quality conversation.
The key is hanging out.
My two cents,
Mark
Thanks, Thats helpful. Bless you. Enjoy your blog and messages.
Cheers
Tim
