Fall is a popular time to start thinking about thankfulness. Thankful, Grateful, Blessed is on every mug, pillow, and sweater. What's not to love about gratefulness? Talk to a random person on the street and ask them if they think gratefulness matters and they will almost certainly say yes. But what is thankfulness? How is Christian thankfulness distinct from secular thankfulness? Why is the object of our gratitude far more important than the expression of our gratitude? With our own children, how do we help them think about gratitude in the context of being creatures made by a good and powerful creator? What are some ideas for helping kids to grow in gratitude practically? Join for a conversation about gratitude with blogger, songwriter, author, and homeschool mama Allison Brost. Allison writes at her blog This Side of Perfect and recently published Grateful: 30 Days of Growing in Thankfulness with the Good Book Company.

In today's episode, Jerrad Lopes takes us on a journey of parenting and spiritual leadership through a real, honest experience that led to a powerful realization about how we, as fathers, can better lead our families. Jerrad shares the importance of knowing each of our family members on an individual level—knowing their unique needs, challenges, and spiritual journeys. Drawing parallels to the way Jesus knew His followers, Jerrad challenges dads to take time to study their children and wives, to know their spiritual conditions, and to lead each one uniquely. This episode is about taking a step beyond the general approach of parenting and truly becoming a student of our family members, to help them grow closer to Jesus. Reflection Questions (mentioned in episode): What is each family member in your household passionate about right now? How does that relate to their faith, and are there opportunities for connecting their passions with their spiritual growth? What challenges is each family member facing right now, and how might that affect their spiritual journey? How do they respond to prayer, Bible discussions, or spiritual conversations? Are they open, or do they feel reluctant? Are there any things about God, faith, church, or the Bible that are confusing or hard for them to understand? When do they feel closest to God? Is there a particular environment or activity where they feel a stronger connection? Where is each family member currently at in their spiritual journey? Are they learning about God, skeptical, or committed but struggling? What specific goals do you have to help each family member grow closer to Jesus? How can you create a plan to meet those goals through regular one-on-one time? Action Steps: Write down each family member's name and identify where they are in their spiritual journey. Set a specific goal for each member to help them grow closer to Jesus. Plan a time for one-on-one connection each week or month to check in on their hearts and spiritual journeys. Create a prayer list for each family member and pray for them intentionally. Journal your observations after each one-on-one time, and use these notes to inform your ongoing approach to shepherding your family.
