Standing Dyad Questions

  1. What was your favorite thing you did with your dad/son in Montana?

  2. What is one thing you did in Montana, you wish you could more of at home?

Rhythms with Each Other

1. What are you going to do together weekly to just spend time together and delight in one another?

  • Find a pick up sport to do together: pickle ball, soccer, basketball, etc.

  • Do an outdoor activity: hike, kayak, dirtbiking, etc.

  • Work out together: go for runs, join a gym, do CrossFit, etc.

  • Get into a craft together: like forging, wood carving, welding, working on cars, gardening, etc.

2. What are you going to do to intentionally engage each other’s heart on a weekly basis?

  • Read a book together and talk about it. We have many recomendations!

  • Get into the rhythm of asking good questions: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/SSHN5C/editor?page=HkLsvgJqT

  • Listen to the Bible Project Podcast each week and talk about it. (We recomend starting with their series on the Sermon on the Mount. Very helpful when fleshing out HOW to live as a son.)

  • Just spend time praying together. Pray out loud for each other. Click here to see some prayers we have for fathers and sons: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/SSHN5C/editor?page=psg7fgX-4yT

  • Battle Plans: Meet together weekly, as father and son, to talk through the Battle Plans you filled out in Montana. Keep each other accountable. See how you can support each other as you battle through the Wilderness! Or make new Battle Plans together and talk about those.

  • Identity Statements: Get together and read your Identity Statements together. Is there anything you want to add? Maybe you want to update some things. Maybe God gave you something new to add. Talk about it as father and son.

Rhythms with your heavenly Dad

1. What are you going to do on a weekly basis to engage in your relationship with God?

  • Go back and do the Rhythms of Sonship you weren’t able to do. There is one for each month in the app. You can access them on the app or via the links below.

  • Build on the short Rhythms of Sonship we gave you this year. In the Introduction of each rhythm, we explained the “why” behind the “what.” Read each introduction and create a new rhythm with the Trinity. Maybe you want to dive deeper into God’s Greater Story, so you begin a podcast series by the Bibleproject. OR perhaps you want to continue journaling, so you get a Daily Kairos journal that takes you deeper into that rhythm.

  • Source-Direction-Destination: Set aside time to sit down and observe your day. What sources did you go to throughout the day? Were they trail markers leading you toward or magnets driving you away from God’s destination for you? Ask your heavenly Dad why you were going to those sources. What can you do to remove them from being too close to your heart? Ask your heavenly Dad what he wants to replace those magnets with?

  • Listening and Following: Set aside time to be with God. Ask him these three questions: “What do you want to say to me today?” “What do you want to do with me today?” and “Who should we talk to today?” They are very simple questions, but you’d be surprised by the adventures you may find yourself on if you are open to His voice!

  • Battle Plans: Spend time asking your heavenly Dad what adventure he has you on. Fill out a Battle Plan based on what you hear. Accept the call, and journal what happens!

  • Identity Statements: Read Bible verses about identity (see this Rhythm of Sonship). Every time your heavenly Dad unveils another layer of who he is, how he made you, and who you are, add it to your statement!

2. How will you keep each other accountable and be on each other’s team as you step into Rhythms of Relationship with God? (Dad’s you guys are mainly responsible for this!)

Get Practical

  1. Go through your answers to the previous questions. Set time aside to make sure you step into the things you wrote down.
  2. Put it in your calendar. Dad’s make it a point to discuss it with your wife tomorrow.
