In the Bleachers

Dads, are you wondering what it takes to make a real difference in your child’s life?

In the rush of our careers and the noise of daily responsibilities, it is easy to think that our children need our provision more than our presence. But I want to tell you something straight from the heart: the greatest gift you can give your son or daughter isn’t something you buy; it’s simply being there.

In this video, “In the Bleachers,” I clear away the confusion about what effective fathering looks like. It often boils down to a simple, physical act—showing up. Whether it is a literal sports field or the metaphorical milestones of life, your children need to look up and see you watching, supporting, and cheering them on.

In this focused message for fathers, we explore:

  • The Power of Presence: Why “showing up” is often 90% of the battle in parenting.
  • Removing Doubt: A clear, unambiguous call for fathers to prioritize their children’s events and moments.
  • Lasting Impact: How your visibility “in the bleachers” builds a foundation of security that lasts a lifetime.

Gentlemen, let’s not overcomplicate this. Your presence speaks louder than your presents. Join me as we discuss the profound impact of simply taking your seat in the stands of your child’s life.

From Promise to Presence

Everlasting Light: A Journey from Promise to Presence

From December 1 to 25, let the advent devotional Everlasting Light move you into a spirit of waiting, reflection, and preparation for Christ’s arrival.

Written by our Spanish pastor Carlos Zazueta (and also available in Spanish), this book includes quotes from Pastor Chuck to recenter your heart each day.

I found Insight for Living through our Bible study leader back in 1985, and this ministry has helped me grow in my faith as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Chuck's messages from the Bible have many a time kept me afloat and paddling toward the goal in this Christian race.
