M46 Crash Course Dads Fighting for the Hearts of Their Children

The M46 Crash Course Participant’s Guide is for fathers ready to start a world-changing revolution in their home as they journey through the free M46 Online Video Crash Course with other dads who want to break the cycle of generational woundedness and fight for the hearts of their children.
 
Malachi 4:6 in the Old Testament promises that the hearts of fathers and children will be turned toward each other. M46 draws on these powerful words to equip dads to be the spiritual leaders of their homes in a world in which fathers often feel powerless to make a difference in their families.
 
Corresponding with nine free online video sessions, this participant’s guide calls men into community, and reveals how to dig deep as together they explore how their own childhoods affect their parenting; how to break free from destructive relational patterns; and how to act out positive, biblical fatherhood. Complete with prayer prompts, real-life challenges, compelling visuals for each lesson, and a link to a leader’s guide, the M46 Crash Course gives dads the hope and guidance they need to make life-giving changes in their home starting today.
