Over the past year I’ve detailed the year-long discipleship program I went through with my son, Parker. It started with a covenant. It involved a spiritual, intellectual, and physical challenge. And we celebrated with a pilgrimage to the Grand Canyon. Actually hiked the Canyon rim-to-rim.

This year I’m keeping it simple: we’re reading through a one-year Bible together. I honestly wasn’t sure if he was old enough to do it and then I thought about the fact that young Jewish children actually memorized the entire Torah!

We’ll still do Father/Son Meetings. We’ll probably read some books together. And we’re planning on running another triathlon together. But I really felt like I need to re-discipline myself and re-read the entire Bible cover-to-cover this year. Parker was up for the challenge so we’ll do it together. Honestly, I think that’ll help me stay accountable!

For what it’s worth, we’re using The Daily Message.
