Resurgence Leadership #013: The Call of a Spiritual Father
What does it mean to be a spiritual father? What does it mean to learn from one? Learn about the call of a spiritual father in this week’s episode of Resurgence Leadership.
In today’s episode of Resurgence Leadership, Judah Smith shares what he learned from his dad and highlights the importance of spiritual fathers—men who don’t just tell you what to do, but show you how to live. This session was recorded live in Bellevue, Washington, and simulcast at the 2013 Resurgence Conference in Seattle.

Highlights
Here are some highlights from this week’s program:
A father will show you how to live, not just tell you what to do. Share
A father doesn’t just point the way; a father walks on the way with his children. Share
A good dad warns you, but he doesn’t shame you. Share
Build bridges with the gospel: “I love Jesus. You love Jesus. We’re in this together.” Share
Sometimes sons go off to do their own thing because their dad didn’t invite them into his thing. Share
Honor and imitation are essential to being a good son. Share
You know what Jesus said about following him? “Abide in me, and I will abide in you.” Share
Honor is only honor when the person you honor feels honored. Share

“I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge you, then, be imitators of me” (1 Cor. 4:14–16).
