Dads are told there should be three goals:

• Take children to church service
• Pray with them regularly
• Have family devotionals

Most dads get the "going to service" but often fall on the family devotion because they simply don't know how

It is much more than these three items - spiritual leader leads his wife and children toward maturity in Christ
When we create spiritual goals, create activities and training designed to reach those goals
