Great comment. Actually moving and living in another country is probably a great tool in fighting against this syndrome. Thanks for the words Mike! Great comment.

It is not a small part of the reason we moved to New Zealand. In my experience, as a child and an adult, it seems like having a career comes at the cost of your family which then leads to so many of the social problems an affluent/materialistic society experiences. The strongest way of confronting this is faith in the provision of God (I combined this with fleeing the country). The temptation is to provide for ourselves, as if God won't provide for us, and step out from under our dependence on Him. That totally undermines our father/child relationship with God. Find some like-minded brethren, especially some older dudes who have walked it. p.s. your other blog is FLY. Bro, it’s an uphill battle. It is not a small part of the reason we moved to New Zealand.
