| 0:00.0 | What's up guys? Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood. So obviously there's a lot going on right now. |
| 0:08.2 | We want to talk about ways to serve as a family. I know that for a lot of us, we're kind of in crisis |
| 0:13.2 | mode, but sometimes a way to deal with that isn't to wait until everything is great, but it's |
| 0:18.3 | actually to carve out a little bit of time during your |
| 0:20.9 | week to serve. And so it's really important to think about is there some way that you can |
| 0:24.5 | uniquely serve? On Instagram, we published nine creative ways to serve. I want to talk about |
| 0:30.6 | three of those. And then Jeff shot out a really awesome email that really describes some of the |
| 0:35.5 | ways he's thinking about this season in terms of service. |
| 0:39.0 | But three of the ways were start an online Bible study, maybe for your neighborhood or a friend |
| 0:44.0 | group. I've been on a couple of those. We've used Google Hangouts. It literally took me about five |
| 0:49.8 | seconds to create a link to shoot it out to the group and they're there. Some of you guys have |
| 0:53.4 | Zoom. Didn't you guys do it last night for like a youth group? What's that? Didn't you do it last night for a youth group? We did. Yeah. So we have we have a whole group of high school students that come to our house every Thursday night. And so what we did instead was I just shot out this Google Hangout link and they were all on there and we spent about two hours going deep into the word. It was so amazing to watch, you know, all the siblings sitting together in their different, |
| 1:16.2 | you know, quarantined rooms. |
| 1:18.0 | And then we had two kids in our house that were sick and Lisa and Sydney and they both, |
| 1:24.4 | they were all, they logged on. |
| 1:26.0 | And so even while they were sick, they were able to |
| 1:28.5 | completely participate in this group and get out of cabin fever. And so I just think everyone should |
| 1:33.5 | probably be part of this. I'm going to be part of about three or four of these actually every week. |
| 1:37.5 | But you can start those. Another is to start a neighborhood Facebook group or some way to |
| 1:41.9 | communicate with the people that are closer to you. |
| 1:48.6 | We've started one about five years ago here on our street. And so that kind of lights up at times like this when people can share needs or we can be constantly prompting them with questions. |
| 1:53.4 | How are you guys doing? Do you guys need anything? And then a third way that's really been cool |
