Elevate your Parenting with SpoFI’s Parenting Classes & Fatherhood Training

Welcome to SpoFI’s comprehensive Fatherhood Training & Parenting Classes, where we equip fathers with vital skills for every stage of parenting.

24-7 Dad® Basic

Many fathers in our community grew up without a father in their home. These men do not have the relationship and parenting tools they need to be effective, devoted fathers. For these men and those who aspire to be fathers someday, this evidence-based class teaches them basic fatherhood, parenting and relationship skills.

SpoFI offers this comprehensive class six time a year at our offices and, when needed, to remote students via Zoom. The class is taught in twelve, two-hour sessions.

Spiritual Sonship

Spiritual Slavery to Spiritual Sonship – An Eight-Week Journey for Dads

Many men carry wounds from their own fathers, rejection, failure, broken relationships, or years of trying to prove their worth. Without realizing it, those experiences can shape how we see God, how we respond to authority, and how we relate to our wives and children.

Based on the powerful teaching of Jack Frost, Spiritual Sonship is an eight-week video and discussion course that helps men recognize the difference between living with an orphan heart—driven by fear, performance, control, and the need for approval—and living securely as a son who knows he is loved by his Heavenly Father.

Together we’ll explore where our patterns came from, identify the things we use to find acceptance and significance, and learn how the Father’s love can change the way we live, love, lead, and father.

Because a man who learns how to live as a loved son is better equipped to become the loving father his children need. This aligns with the SpoFI Vision “for every child to have a present, loving and nurturing father”. Shiloh Place itself emphasizes moving from “orphan thinking, striving and performance into sonship” and choosing relationship over the need to be right—both especially relevant to fathers and family relationships.
