Don’t Break Their Spirit: A Father’s Wake-Up Call

Don’t Break Their Spirit: A Father’s Wake-Up Call

Devotional Description:

We don’t set out to crush our children’s spirits—but sometimes our words, expectations, or unchecked frustrations do just that. In this powerful devotional, Rob shares a deeply personal story of a moment he wishes he could take back—a time when a harsh reaction wounded his son and almost created lasting damage. But what followed was a moment of repentance, restoration, and redemption.

Rooted in Colossians 3:21, “Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged,” this devotional is a call for every father to pause, reflect, and realign. It’s a reminder that leadership in the home isn’t about control—it’s about connection. And sometimes, the most powerful thing a father can say is, “I was wrong.”

This is for any dad who’s ever lost his temper, said the wrong thing, or felt the sting of regret—and wants to lead with grace moving forward.
