Why Divorced Dads Skip Their Bible (And What It's Actually Costing You)

This week on Sunday Table, the Sunday faith segment from Divorced Dads of America, Anthony Thompson tackles the question most divorced dads avoid: if Jesus is really #1 in your life, can you prove it? Using his own calendar, bank account, and mind as the evidence, Anthony walks through why so many Christian men — especially dads rebuilding after divorce — never open their Bible, and shares his own journey from a single verse a day to an hour of prayer and Scripture morning and night. This episode gives divorced dads three simple, no-excuse ways to start a daily Bible reading habit: reading one chapter of Proverbs a day (31 chapters, one a day, easy to track by the calendar), reading five Psalms a day to complete all 150 in a month, or reading straight through the Gospels starting in Matthew. Anthony also points listeners toward Rick Renner's "Sparkling Gems from the Greek" for guys ready to go deeper once the daily habit sticks, and talks honestly about the excuses that keep men from starting a spiritual discipline: boredom, confusion, falling asleep, and the lie that God already knows you love Him so it doesn't matter. Grounded in Matthew 6:21 — "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" — this episode isn't about being more spiritual than anyone else. It's about spending real time with God and letting that time change how you show up for your kids, your recovery, and your own peace, confidence, and clarity. This week's idea: You don't need an hour a day to start. You need one lane and one day. Scripture: Matthew 6:21 — "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
