Cliff Talks: X-Factors in Biblical Parenthood
Cliff talks: Biblical Parenthood to disciple the next Generation
It is ok to fail. it is not ok to Quit.
As I am working on my thesis for my M Div, I started to think about being a father. One thing that dawned on my mind when I first step into fatherhood, especially when it comes to discipling our children, is that I realized I couldn’t do it. Or I don’t think I can. I […]
Dismount and push
In Singapore, they built paved paths known as PCN (Park Connectors). As the name implies, it connects from one park to another. This is great because you can cycle, blade or run between parks. Earlier this week I was exploring a route from Bishan down to Marina Bay Sands. It was fun exploring and riding […]
Who Should Disciple Our Children?
Who is really responsible for shaping our children’s faith—the church or us as parents? For a long time, I assumed the answer was the church.

Mind you; we weren’t Christians. Though we were baptized as Catholics, we weren’t very religious. When I […]
Slowing Down
I love getting stuff done and getting them done fast. There is no better feeling than checking off my to-do list. I quickly learn that when I take my girls out, I have to slow down. Life is not about rushing to get stuff done. Instead, it is finding opportunities in the ordinary day to […]
Sowing Into My Children
Investing in Your Children Spiritually (Even When It Feels Small) When I first became a stay-at-home dad, I struggled with something I didn’t expect. I felt… unproductive. No meetings.No milestones.No obvious results. Just diapers, meals, messes, and repeat. It honestly felt like I wasn’t doing anything meaningful. But over time, God began to shift my […]
