Your Question:

How do I get my family to support me?

Answer:

As a pastor and a father, I've learned that getting my family to support me is not always easy, especially with the demands of work, school, and social lives. However, I've found that setting a good example and being open with them about my needs and goals is crucial. I try to involve my wife Susan and our children Joshua and Rebecca in our family's mission and values, so they understand the importance of supporting each other.

One way I've found to keep our family close is to have regular family time and activities that we can enjoy together. Whether it's playing a game, going on a picnic, or just having a family dinner, these moments help us bond and create lasting memories. I also make sure to listen to their needs and concerns, and to be patient and understanding when they're going through tough times. By doing so, I've found that they're more likely to support me when I need it.

As a family, we also make a conscious effort to prioritize quality time together and to serve others. Whether it's volunteering at a local charity or simply being there for a friend in need, I believe that serving others helps us stay connected and builds a stronger sense of family. By working together and supporting each other, we can overcome any obstacle and stay close as a family.
