Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. Really excited for you to listen to today's

0:05.0

conversation. It's a really fascinating one. Before we jump in, a couple things. One, if you haven't

0:09.8

checked out, I just put these brand new dinner time discussion cards on our shop. I've been spending

0:16.4

the last year creating these really, really cool. Again, if you're watching on Spotify or YouTube,

0:20.1

which I suggest you do it, just kind of makes the conversations that we have on the podcast

0:24.6

come alive. But anyway, you can see these cards here. They're really, really cool. You just open

0:30.3

it up. This takes zero prep work, man. You just pull one of these cards out. There's tons of cards

0:34.7

in here. You just pull one of these cards out and then you grab one

0:39.3

and they are filled with questions that you can ask your family at the dinner table or in a car

0:46.2

1:11.2

through the Word of God. And then you guys can just spend a little bit of time pointing your

1:16.0

family back to Jesus. Second question is here, what does it mean to have a heart of worship?

1:20.8

And then I listed some verses there and the scriptures that talk about what it looks like to have

1:25.6

a heart of worship. So anyway, there are hundreds of these questions that you can just literally pick up the box,

1:32.6

grab a card, ask your kids, your family, these questions,

1:36.1

and they are very simple, easy ways to point your kids' eyes and hearts closer to Jesus.

1:42.1

So if you want to pick a pair of these or a set of these cards, I'm surprised.
