How to Let the Bible Actually Change You as a Dad

What if the Bible was meant to do more than inform you, comfort you, or give you rules to follow?

In this episode of Father On Purpose, Kent and Lawson unpack five different ways people can view Scripture—from dangerous and confusing to informative, comforting, and ultimately transformational.

For Christian dads, that distinction matters. Knowing more Bible verses isn’t the same thing as becoming more like Christ. And our kids don’t just need to see fathers who know God’s Word—they need to see fathers who are continually being changed by it.

Kent and Lawson talk about developing a high view of Scripture, avoiding the trap of using biblical knowledge to become arrogant or argumentative, and learning to approach the Bible as one of God’s primary tools for transforming our hearts and minds.

If you want to become a more godly, intentional father and help your children develop a lifelong love for God’s Word, this conversation will challenge the way you read the Bible.

In this episode:

• Five ways people view the Bible
• Why biblical knowledge alone isn’t enough

• The danger of treating the Bible like a rule book
