Keep an Open Mind, But…
By David Chadwick

My dad always encouraged me to have an open mind. He wanted me to be a lifelong learner. He knew that the best leaders were readers.

But as dad adjured me to have an open mind, he also added one qualifier. “Son,” he said, “keep an open mind, but don’t let your brains fall out.”

Dad knew that an open mind needed to be rooted in immutable truth. An open mind needs moral boundaries, or it can become vulnerable to licentiousness.

Fathers need to help their kids learn new facts and old morals.

Balancing both produces healthy kids.


Live in-tune with the heartbeat of God!

Right now, your gift will go twice as far when paired with a $10,000 Challenge Grant to help reach a $20,000 goal that will change lives.

And to thank you for your gift today, we’ll send you David Chadwick’s book, My Father, My Friend: Lessons on Life and Love.

You’ll find time-tested wisdom passed down from David’s father about marriage, parenting, relationships, personal counsel, and faith.

At a time when being a good dad isn’t easy, it will help you (or someone you love) tackle questions like:

  • What’s the right way to live life?
  • How can I be a great husband, even when times are hard?
  • Is there some way to get my kids to listen to me?

Request your copy of My Father, My Friend when you give your best gift below to help reach the $20,000 goal and end our financial year strong.

Thank you for your support today to help more people get a new perspective about why there’s reason for hope in Jesus!
