If you’re ready to uncover instructional, inspiring books to read to and with your family, to build strong family relationships by reading, talking and living together, and to prepare your children for life and eternity with great books & activities, then join us for Treasure Box Books! Hi, I’m Nathan Ching, a redeemed child of God, happy husband and homeschooling dad, and lifelong lover of good books. For years--even before I became a father--I eagerly looked forward to leading my children to know, love, and serve God. As a young man, I realized that reading, beginning first with the Bible, then other books, unlocked my understanding. The Old Testament prophet said, ”I Daniel understood by books….” When I prayed about how to train my children for God, I became convinced that reading to and with my children would be an essential element in helping them to delight in God and do His will. While I can’t claim to have perfected the art of leading my family, I am happy to say that the Lord has taught me practical, useful lessons--lessons I believe would serve other dads as they lead their families. That’s what this podcast is all about. There are treasures to be found in books that simply can’t be found anywhere else.

    060 | Do Audiobooks Equal Real Books (Part 1 - Disadvantages)

    Hey Fellow Dads, Have you ever wondered whether listening to audiobooks instead of reading is “cheating”? Today’s episode will cover six disadvantages of audiobooks, along with workarounds for each one. Enjoy, and stay tuned for next episode, when we’ll discuss six advantages of audiobooks! —Nathan Disadvantages of Audiobooks They are often expensive Audiobook subscription apps are overly complex The selection of quality narrations (of free or inexpensive good books) is limited Previewing books is difficult Listening time for borrowed audiobooks is limited Not all audio recordings are made equal Books These stories are set in WWII—all non-fiction.

    Hey Fellow Dads, Today we conclude a three-episode series introducing both true and fictional stories from Alaska—tales of heroism, survival, and faith that can inspire you and your family to follow wherever God leads. In this episode, my sons Matt and Sam share their own stories of recent trips to Alaska, and I give ten reasons we all love the “Adventures of an Arctic Missionary” series of books.

They demonstrate the weaknesses of missionaries. They reveal the irreplaceable need for biblical gospel missions. They picture the wonder of salvation through Christ Jesus. They portray salvation biblically. They illustrate how hard, strenuous labor is often a part of ministry. They illustrate the beauty and strength of a marriage built on the Bible and prayer. They remind us of the need for prayer and the possibilities of prayer. They remind us of the importance and vital necessity of the Bible. They contain so many realistic, relatable characters.

    058 | Alaskan Adventures! (part 2) with Jonathan Fisher

    Hey Fellow Dads, Today we continue a three-episode series introducing both true and fictional stories from Alaska—tales of heroism, survival, and faith that can inspire you and your family to follow wherever God leads. In this episode, my friend Pastor Jonathan Fisher shares how God called him to be the answer to his own prayers for needy communities in Alaska. He also talks about how serving the Lord is a privilege and joy—yes, even fun—and how we as husbands can lead our wives and children to know that joy in service to Christ. Don’t miss out on Jonathan’s sharing an exciting and true “Alaskan adventure” story about an encounter with an Alaskan brown bear, too! --Nathan Scriptures 📖 Genesis 12:1-2 📖 Ephesians 4:11 📖 3 John 4 📖 Psalm 37:23 📖 Malachi 2:14 📖 James 4:7 Books 📚 The Autobiography of George Mueller, by George Mueller 📚 Answers to Prayer, by George Mueller 📚 Adventures of an Arctic Missionary Series, by Gloria Repp Quotes by Jonathan Fisher “For two months, every day, I was just finding myself really asking God, burdened about, ‘Lord, would You send laborers to Alaska? There’s a need there,’ and never thought about us.” “Through some preaching, through some verses, God made the calling very clear, and the calling was evangelist. And to be honest, that scared me, I didn’t like that, because all I had ever really known about evangelist was guys who get in a RV and travel around the Lower 48 and hold meetings.” Veteran missionary in Papua New Guinea, Dennis Wells’ advice to missionaries: “He said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to forget where you’re from,….You’re going to have to love where God put you,….and you’re going to have to learn to have fun.’ ” “It’s important to enjoy where God put you.” “My parents and my wife’s parents both instilled in us that we get to do this because we serve the Lord, because God takes great care of us.” “As far as people from where we’re from that we can really connect with, there’s nobody, and so, I have my wife, and she has me. And God has allowed us to really develop a great relationship….And that is precious, to have a close relationship with your wife.” “I came from San Diego, where life was very busy. You have so many friends and so many people to talk to, that sometimes, those who were supposed to be closest to can be neglected in caring for them.” Vocabulary (v.) glass: to scan with a spyglass or other optical instrument. (n.) breakup: in Spring, when the ice melts and breaks apart. (n.) tungat: spirits, presumably with evil intent toward the living. (n.) shaman: one who claims to have contact with the spirit world and thus wields power over other people.

    054 | Dads, Pray for Your Family

    Hey fellow dads, Many Christian books have been published in recent years about moms praying for their families, but does God expect us as dads to pray for our spouse and children as well? What might it mean to be a “priest” in our own home . . . and how do we fulfill this role practically, in the day to day? In this episode we talk about where to start, examples from Scripture, and some books that can grow our faith for prayer. Nathan Scriptures 📖 Hebrews 10:11-14 📖 1 Timothy 2:5-6 📖 Ephesians 2:18 📖 Hebrews 4:16 📖 1 Peter 2:9 📖 Genesis 8:20 📖 Genesis 18:22-23, 32-33 📖 Job 1:4-5 📖 John 4:46-53 📖 Psalm 51:12-13 📖 John 17 📖 Luke 22:31-32 Quotes “Day after day, and year after year, by the help of God, we labour in prayer for the spiritual benefit of the Orphans under our care. These our supplications, which have been for 24 years brought before the Lord concerning them, have been abundantly answered, in former years, in the conversion of hundreds from among them. We have, also, had repeated seasons in which, within a short time, or even all at once, many of the Orphans were converted. Such a season we had about three years since, when, within a few days, about 60 were brought to believe in the Lord Jesus; and such seasons we have had again twice during the first year. “This blessed and mighty work of the Holy Spirit cannot be traced to any particular cause. It was however, a most precious answer to prayer. As such we look upon it, and are encouraged by it to further waiting upon God. “[This] great work of the Spirit of God…began among the younger class of the children under our care...so that within about 10 days above 200 of the Orphans were stirred up to be anxious about their souls, and in many instances found peace immediately, through faith in our Lord Jesus. They at once requested to be allowed to hold prayer meetings among themselves, and have had these meetings ever since. Many of them also manifested a concern about the salvation of their companions and relations, and spoke or wrote to them, about the way to be saved.” —George Mueller, in Answers to Prayer “According to the NT, Jesus Christ is the great high priest for all those who believe in Him. He makes atonement for our sins; He intercedes for us with the Father; He takes away our sins!” “Because Jesus Christ is our great high priest, we need no man to stand between us and God, to make atonement for our sins, or to forgive our sins; and all of us who are in Christ have God-given authority to read God’s word for ourselves and determine how to live it out.” “…what we mean by this term is simply that a dad--husband and father—is supposed to pray for his family, to lead his family in the truth of God, and to teach his family how to fellowship with God. He is an intercessor—he intercedes (pleads with God for the benefit of others).” —Nathan Suggestions to Carry Out This Role Pray for yourself. Pray for your family. Pray with your family. Teach your family about the privilege and possibilities of prayer. Get others involved in praying for your family. Record your prayers (write them down). Books recommended in this episode 📚 The Cross Versus the Crescent, by Eric Fisk 📚 God of the Aurora, by Bruce Hamilton 📚 Answers to Prayer, by George Mueller 📚 The Power of Christ’s Prayer Life, by Charles Haddon Spurgeon Books not mentioned, but definitely worthwhile 📚 A Practical Guide for Praying Parents, by Erwin W.

    053 | Dads, Teach Your Family

    Hey fellow dads, How do you “start where you are” to lead your family even when you know you aren’t the dad you ought to be? What hope do we have when greater men than us have not been able to raise godly children? Or is that even our goal? Join us today as we learn from my friend William Maricle about being the spiritual leader (teacher or prophet) for our families. And, starting at 34:54, I have a special Thanksgiving weekend treat for you—an excerpt from Of Plimoth Plantation that the whole family can enjoy. Nathan Description of Role #3: Prophet What exactly does a prophet do? Throughout the Bible, we see that prophets consistently kept these four elements in their lives: They foretold—they told the future, often warning about the consequences of sin. They forthtold—they told the truth as was needed to be spoken, often uncomfortable truth. But before they did either of these, they listened to God. And, the ultimately, they spoke to people in their own sphere of influence with the authority of “thus saith the LORD”—they were God’s mouthpiece for the people in their lives. Quotes by William Maricle “As men, there’s no way we can completely assume that role, unless we ourselves are attempting to discover the word of God for ourselves, and be in it. But then I would hasten to say, that it’s better to be a father who feels inadequate but is just giving what he can, than to be a father who feels like he has all the answers and demands his kids listen to him.” “Have the heart to say, ‘Dad doesn’t know much, but please do right.” Book Recommendation 📚 Seeking a Godly Seed, by Clint Caviness Book Quoted 📚 Of Plymouth Plantation, by William Bradford If you enjoyed this episode, 💡 See the show notes, with Scripture references, quotes, and more, at refreshpublishing.com/053-dads-be-a-prophet-for-your-family 🎙️Please subscribe to the podcast so you can listen again next week! ✍🏻 Leaving a review is the best way to say "thanks" so that others can find the podcast, too!
