The Bold Dad: 5 Minutes to Guide Your Family's Faith

-Daily guidance for dads to inspire, equip, and lead their children with faith, courage, and purpose.

Introduction

Whether your kids are 2 or 22, being a father is one of the most important, challenging, and rewarding roles you will ever have. Every day, you have the opportunity to shape your child’s heart, their faith, and their understanding of the world, but as the days pass, that opportunity is fleeting. The truth is, your time with your children is limited, and how you show up now will echo for the rest of their lives.

This book is designed to guide you through 20 short daily lessons, each one taking just 3–5 minutes to read, but don’t be fooled by the brevity. Some of what you read will challenge you, stir your heart, and push you to look deeper within yourself. That’s intentional, because growth starts when we’re willing to be stretched and inspired to rise higher.

Each day, you’ll find:

• A verse: To ground your lesson in God’s truth

• A lesson: Practical guidance you can apply immediately

• A reflection: Designed to challenge you, call out complacency, and help you face uncomfortable truths

• An interesting insight: To help connect the dots.

• A family mantra: A short, memorable phrase to carry the lesson into your household

• A prayer:  Because you need it
  
  

These lessons aren’t just for you, they’re for your children. And if you’re willing to be honest, intentional, and present, they will leave a lasting legacy of faith, love, and character.

So take a deep breath, commit to showing up, and embrace the discomfort. Lean into it. You can do this, Dad.
