Steven Manuel and his old good friend Jeff Davenport talk about the importance of reading to your children and how fathers can get good at it.

They cover: The Scriptural basis of fostering intelligence in children (10:20), The benefits of reading to children (33:15) The ways readers can improve in this important activity, and (44:00) Then give us some examples of good vs bad reading (1:04:00) Then finish by reviewing practical opportunities for dads to read (1:10:15).

Huios-level Maturity

Huios-level Maturity

Steven Manuel sits around a campfire and waxes theological as he describes 5 levels of sonship based on Greek words translated “son” in the scriptures. These levels are not foregone conclusions; they’ll require increased levels of diligence, discipleship, and responsibility. He urges men to apprehend that for which Christ has apprehended them, namely, FULL maturity in Christ. This kind of maturity is not being sufficiently preached in modern evangelical congregations… but the ancient truths must be upheld and reiterated no matter what. Join him at the campfire!
