RESOLUTE MAN

In this episode, Isaac helps fathers teach Proverbs 1:32-33 to their families. He walks dads through the danger of staying simple, since simplicity that isn't outgrown tends to turn people away from God over time, and the destructive nature of complacency, a way of fools. He then contrasts that with the promise for those who listen to wisdom: they dwell secure, at ease, without dread of disaster. Use this episode as a launching point to ask your kids how we actually listen to God, what gets in the way of hearing from Him, and to share a time complacency...

In this episode, Isaac helps fathers teach Proverbs 1:24-31 to their families. He walks dads through God's warning to those who ignore His call, refuse His outstretched hand, and reject correction, and the sobering consequence that follows: when calamity strikes, those who despised wisdom will call out but not be answered, because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord. Use this episode as a launching point to talk with your kids about learning from correction now, before harder consequences force the lesson later, and ask them to share a time they learned from a...

In this episode, Isaac helps fathers teach Proverbs 1:22-23 to their families. He walks dads through the three types of people wisdom is hidden from: the simple, who lack discernment but can grow out of it with guidance; the scoffer, who mocks correction and can turn children against their parents; and the fool, who willfully resists wisdom out of self-confidence. He then unpacks the promise in verse 23, that when we turn at God's reproof, He pours out His Spirit and makes His words known to us. Use this episode as a launching point to pray with your family and...

If You Seek Wisdom, It’s Always There Proverbs 1:20-21

Dad, does your child understand that hidden sin doesn't just hurt them, it can destroy everyone around them? In this episode Isaac breaks down Proverbs 1:17-19 and gives fathers a way to teach their kids why secret sin is more dangerous than it looks.

Isaac starts with the picture in verse 17, a bird that won't fly into a net it can see, and contrasts that with the fools in verse 18 who unknowingly set an ambush for their own lives. He explains how foolishness clouds people's ability to see clearly, so much that they end up less perceptive...

Dad, are your children equipped to stand strong against peer pressure? In this episode Isaac digs into Proverbs 1:10-14 and shows fathers how to teach their kids what it looks like when sinners entice, and why refusing to consent to that pull is one of the most important lessons we can pass on to them.

Solomon paints a vivid picture here: enticers inviting a young man to ambush the innocent, to swallow up others "like Sheol," a direct echo of Numbers 16:32 and the rebellion of Korah against Moses and Aaron, ultimately against God himself. Isaac talks about...

Dad, is your child equipped to walk away when bad influences come calling? In this episode Isaac breaks down Proverbs 1:15-16 and shows fathers how to teach their kids why God calls us to hold our foot back from the paths of those who entice us into sin.

Dad, are you actively shaping your family's culture, or letting busyness leave it to drift? In this episode we dig into Proverbs 1:8-9 and unpack what it means for our kids to hear their father's instruction and not forsake their mother's teaching, and why that's a passage worth teaching your family, not just reading on your own.

We break down two key Hebrew words: musar (the sharp, corrective discipline that shapes character) and torah (the fuller body of accumulated wisdom passed down in a home). As fathers, God has given us the job of correcting and teaching...

Here’s how to teach the beginning of proverbs to your family with a step by step approach. Tune in for 20 minutes a day and then engage your family with scripture. 

Here are key points covered for Proverbs 1:1-7

King Solomon, son of King David, wrote much of Proverbs, and his story is a powerful one to walk your children through.

Start by asking them: what would you ask for if God offered you anything? At Gibeon, God asked Solomon exactly that. Instead of long life, riches, or victory over his enemies, Solomon asked for wisdom to govern well and discern good from evil. Show your kids how God was pleased with that request and gave Solomon wisdom beyond anyone before or after him, plus wealth and honor he never even asked for. It's a great...

What’s counter-intuitive is often better than our regular mode of being as a man. When it comes to how we interact with each other, transparency helps us develop stronger relationships with each other.

It helps relationships, gives courage to others, and creates stronger bonds togeth...
