#007: What “Cats In The Cradle” Can Teach Us About Being A Dad [Podcast]

Join Tony Marino, Lynn Kennedy, Pastor Brian Whiteside, Pastor Michael Duncan and Pastor Dr. Jeff Klick and me (Tim Young) their special guest on Alive In Christ Radio as we talk about my book Heartstone: A Journey out of the midnight of my soul!

Dad’s pause and take an inventory of your life. Are you fully present for your family/kids, or are you too wrapped up in your career, hobby, friends, fill in the blank_____? Are you actively living out a Godly example for them…and would God agree?

Dad’s does this describe you?

* Interview starts about 28mins into the broadcast.

Our actions and our words have an incredible impact on our kids! Are you your son’s first hero? Are you your daughter’s first love? Are you being a student of your wife?

My son turned ten just the other day. He said, “Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let’s play can you teach me to throw”, I said “Not today I got a lot to do”, he said, “That’s ok”

 -Harry Chapin (Cats In The Cradle Lyrics)

The world shouts at us men through a megaphone that we find our identity in our careers and our stuff. This is a lie! Men, we need a new identity…it’s called being a dad. Lets step it up and be Dad’s!
