DA346 | Making Your Home a Launching Ground and Comparing Fatherhood to Rocket Science (Santosh Swamidass)
Manage episode 438279071 series 3239181
With a background in the aerospace industry, Santosh Swamidass can list plenty of ways that fatherhood is just like rocket science. In this conversation, Santosh illustrates the importance of launching your kids with the right targets in mind. With tools and systems shared in this episode, you can raise your kids to love Christ, discover their purpose, and impact the world around them.
Key Takeaways- The trajectory you set for your kids before they launch has a lifelong effect and, if you do it well, an eternal impact.
- Find force multipliers like tools, guides, and systems to help your kids grow spiritually with less effort and better results.
- To avoid forgetting 90% of what you learn each week, you just need a few short bursts of repetition to retain more of what matters.
- Each week as a family, memorize one verse, pray for others two times, have three spiritual conversations of substance, and read the Bible four times.
- Commit to a steady drip infusion of wisdom through your kid's childhood so it can have a compounding effect.
Santosh Swamidass is a pastor, architect of Project Based Discipleship, and Founder of the Launching Ground and Launch Network. He spent 10 years working in the aerospace industry and has over 25 years of ministry experience. Santosh and his wife, Christy, are enjoying the adventure and learnings of discipling their 7 kids.
Key Quotes- 13:51 - "Jesus' references this even as the greatest commandment and what we see right after that in Deuteronomy, it's not the priests. It's not the the temple. It's not the tabernacle. It doesn't talk about what we would consider the church and the pastors. It talks about the parents and the home. This is what we're talking about, family discipleship."
- 32:57 - "We have a short period of time that will have an effect for the lifetime of our children. The reality is, if we do it well, it has an effect on eternity. In all the things that I invest my life in, there are there are very few that are going to last beyond my lifetime. My children, by the grace of God and their legacy is one of those things, and how they pass their faith on is going to be a lot of it derived from how we as fathers actually pour into our kids. And we know the statistics that the number one indicator for a child's faith in their future, it's actually the father's."
