Über diesen Titel

 ⚔️ Do you long to inspire your children with stories of heroes in history and with the greatest story ever told--the word of God? 🛠️ Do you want to equip your children for life in the world, so that they’ll have wisdom and understanding as they face the challenges in whatever work God calls them to? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Do you desire to live and learn together with your family, using good books and real-life experiences to build relationships that will last a lifetime? In this podcast, you’ll find real-life tips and recommendations for books our homeschooling family loves, and discussions of how we as dads can make it easier to read to and with our children. My mission is to equip you with hope and help as you seek to train your children in God’s way and lead your family, relying first on the Bible and then learning from the wealth of great books that are available for the taking. If you’re ready to uncover instructional, inspiring books to read to and with your family, to build strong family relationships by reading, talking and living together, and to prepare your children for life and eternity with great books & activities, then join us for Treasure Box Books! Hi, I’m Nathan Ching, a redeemed child of God, happy husband and homeschooling dad, and lifelong lover of good books. For years--even before I became a father--I eagerly looked forward to leading my children to know, love, and serve God. As a young man, I realized that reading, beginning first with the Bible, then other books, unlocked my understanding. The Old Testament prophet said, ”I Daniel understood by books….” When I prayed about how to train my children for God, I became convinced that reading to and with my children would be an essential element in helping them to delight in God and do His will. While I can’t claim to have perfected the art of leading my family, I am happy to say that the Lord has taught me practical, useful lessons--lessons I believe would serve other dads as they lead their families. That’s what this podcast is all about. There are treasures to be found in books that simply can’t be found anywhere else. Come join us on our journey, and let’s go find the treasures in books! 📖 Download free Bible audio: www.refreshpublishing.com/bible 🧑🏻‍💻 Visit the Website: www.treasureboxbooks.com 📩 Email Me: support@treasureboxbooks.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ https://feed.podbean.com/treasureboxbooks/feed.xml Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.Copyright 2023 Nathan Ching.

    073 - Helps for Your Daily Walk (Part 2 - How to Use Devotional Books)
    Oct 18 2025

    Hey Dads,

    We’ve thought about several reasons why we ought to use devotional books to help us walk with God, but how do we actually put these tools to use in realistic ways? In this episode, I’ll give you six practical ways to make devotional books a genuine benefit to your fellowship with the Lord.

    —Nathan

    Scriptures

    📖 Job 23:12 “Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”

    📖 Deuteronomy 33:25b “…and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.”

    📖 Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

    Books

    📚 Morning and Evening, by Charles Spurgeon

    📚 Daily Light on the Daily Path, by Jonathan Bagster & Robert Bagster

    Quotes

    “Make heaven crowded.” —Charlie Kirk

    “I admit, I’m guilty of having far more books than I’ll ever have time enough to read—here on my desk, next to my desk on a bookshelf, and on my nightstand, I’ve got devotional books I’m slowly working through.

    “If I could go back 15 years and give myself advice that I should listen to, concerning devotional books, I think it would be, get one or two books that godly men you respect recommend, and read them, systematically, day-by-day.” —Nathan

    “[It’s] for you to figure out how God leads you—individually.

    After all, the point is to use tools that aid you in your fellowship with God.” —Nathan

    “Just like eating is necessary every day (unless we’re fasting), we must spend some time each day in God’s word. For a Christian who wants to walk with God—especially for a dad who is striving to lead his family in God’s way—spending time in God’s word every day is a non-negotiable.” —Nathan

    “…if we don’t consciously make time every day to read, we probably won’t. And that’s true for everything we ought to be reading, whether it be the Bible itself, or devotional books, or biographies, or civics, or whatever. We’ve got to make time, and that probably includes writing down on a daily to-do list—and holding ourselves to it.” —Nathan

    “We live in a time when we are used to scrolling through short posts, laughing at memes, watching short videos, and then forgetting about them.

    “Reading devotional books can help us to train our brains in the lost art of meditation, and if they’re the right kind of devotional literature, they can give us nourishing material to feed our souls.” —Nathan

    “Do not mistake feeling moved by a motivating truth for actual action in response to that truth.” —Nathan

    How Do You Use Devotional Books?
    1. Start by using only one or two devotional books.
    2. Carve out some time, regularly, to read them.
    3. Read the selection or amount you need to read for the season of life you’re currently in.
    4. After you have read a selection, meditate on what you’ve read.
    5. Look for a practical way to live out whatever truth God teaches you.
    6. Share nuggets of truth with others.

    072 | A Champion for Life & Liberty (Charlie Kirk)
    Sep 21 2025
    Intro Hey Dads, A man was shot while exercising his first amendment right to free speech—because someone deemed what he said to be evil. What was this man’s message, and what should our response be as believers—and especially as Christian dads? How can we fight lies not with violence, but with truthful words? - Nathan Scriptures 📖 1 Timothy 4:12 📖 Hebrews 9:27 📖 Romans 8:28 Quotes 🎵 “And though this world with devils filled should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God has willed his truth to triumph through us.” —Martin Luther, in “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” 📜 “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.“ —The First Amendment to the Constitution of These United States of America 🎤 “He genuinely respected and genuinely loved, in a Christian manner, the people on the other side of the table. He didn’t hate anybody…. He was trying to win the argument, but he had tremendous compassion for the people he was debating, always, and he had the right heart about it.”—Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson 🎤 “Beat the idea, not the person.”—Joseph Ching 🎤 “He knew that the free speech that we are guaranteed, both in the public square and in to practice our own religious faith as we see most fitting according to our conscience, that’s not something that most people have had throughout history…that’s something most people in the world still do not have.”—Nathan 🎤 “2A, not only chronologically but also logically, follows 1A.”—Nathan 🎤 “It’s like somebody put the Constitution up on a wall and shot the First Amendment.”—Mike Rowe, on Charlie Kirk’s assassination 🎤 “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith.”—Charlie Kirk 🎤 “He cared for people because of his Christian faith.” (speaker?) 🎤“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that’s when civil war happens, because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity.”—Charlie Kirk 🎤 “The world is evil….But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. Не...Не is so good.”—Erika Kirk 🎤“[Charlie was] a real champion—a champion for the gospel, a champion for America, a champion for liberty, a champion for free speech. Charlie Kirk died September 10, 2025. Let’s allow his life to impact us, and let’s allow his example to stir us to do what’s right—with conviction, with courage, with compassion.”—Nathan 🎤 “We are not talking about this particular point to say let’s stir up anger and let’s go find some Leftists and return the favor. No, not at all. What I do want you to recognize is, first, that the threat is real in America today, that if you stand up for what’s true, what’s right, biblically and morally, with moral objectivity, with common sense, you paint a target on yourself and on your children. Second, recognize where the threat comes from. The threat is coming from people who reject God, who reject the Bible, who reject natural law, who reject common sense."—Nathan Resources 🖥️ The Constitution of the United States of America https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript 🖥️ Eric Metaxas Answers Hard Questions About Charlie Kirk https://www.prageru.com/videos/eric-metaxas-answers-hard-questions-about-the-murder-of-charlie-kirk?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_14963361 Books 📚 The Christian After Death, by Robert Ervin Hough 📚 Heaven: Biblical Answers to Common Questions, by Randy Alcorn 📚 God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life: The Myth of the Modern Message, by Ray Comfort (a book Charlie Kirk recommended on his podcast Main Thoughts Charlie didn’t allow his age to keep him from actively engaging people in the public marketplace of ideas.We don’t hold Charlie up as a standard of perfection, but he did live an exemplary Christian life (both for the unsaved to see what a Christian life looks like and for saved people to see how they should live).Charlie sought to beat the wrong ideas people had, while not attacking the person who held the wrong ideas.Charlie read widely, enabling himself to understand and thereby argue against the opposition. (He referred to himself as an “autodidact,” a self-educated individual.)Charlie’s impact is being multiplied since his death.Charlie was committed to free speech, because he was grounded in scripture and in our American history.We often don’t recognize the treasure we have in people until we lose them.Charlie’s passing is a great time to remember Romans 8:28.Three words stand out as we reflect on Charlie’s life—conviction...

    Why Use Devotional Books
    1. Perhaps the most obvious—they can help us understand the Bible.
    2. A devotional book can show us what God taught other Christians as they studied the Bible and prayed.
    3. A devotional book can allow us to acquaint ourselves with men and women who thought more deeply than most of us probably do now.
    4. Reading comments and insights into scripture written in an earlier generation or different culture can help us see the Bible’s truths outside our own culture and our presuppositions, and it can help us to see that the Bible transcends cultures, speaking to people of all ages and all backgrounds.
    5. They can help us to remember that we’re not alone in our Christian walk.
