Fathers & Duty to God

The Duty to God program for the our teenage sons is a critical aspect of their spiritual, emotional, and physical development. This video is inspirational.



The question is...how can fathers best help their sons get interested and engaged in this inspired program? I am in as much need of help as anyone (ask my sons!), but here are some ideas...
  1. Include DTG progress as a regular item of discussion during Family Home Evenings. Set goals and follow up on previous accomplishments. Make the FHE topic related to what your son is studying or applying.
  2. Take advantage of Sunday drives to collect fast offerings or do home teaching and discuss specific items or activities they are or should be working on.
  3. Attend their Sunday quorum meeting or mutual activity to know how what they are doing as a quorum and find ways to coordinate your father/son work accordingly.
  4. Get your own DTG booklet and go through it with your son. Example is the best teacher!
I need to improve in this important father responsibility and would love to hear your ideas!
