Andrew Ucles is a legend in my household. His knowledge of animals and how to draw them in is amazing. His wild pursuit of the Bolivian Coati becomes a FANTASTIC analogy for kids to see how God wants to draw close to us, not hurt us, just hold us near His Heart. The activity at the end of this Conquest is Hide-And-Go-Seek in the house. My kids LOVED it, and I have heard many funny stories from other families. One dad told me he wasn’t able to find his teen son without clues from the kids, and he never found his wife 😉 Surprise your kids and play it this weekend! You will be wowed by your kids’ ingenuity.
Spiritual Nuggets for Family Discussion
Open with a prayer.
(i.e. a Glory Be, or Our Father, or Hail Mary, or ‘Jesus, Mary, Joseph, we love You! Save souls!’)
- Chase, and chase, and chase!
- By playing chase.
- By always pursuing his children’s hearts and never giving up, especially when it is difficult.
- God promises dads that if they hope in Him, He will give them the strength and the joy of pursuit of their wife’s and children’s hearts: “They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.” Is 40:31
- Nope!
- God never gives up His hunt for our love. He chases us until we are tired of our selfishness and ready to let Him hold us close to His heart.
- God made dads to never give up the hunt for love either!
Close with a prayer.

Feed that Fire!
The FREE Family Conquest program helps parents “Feed that Fire today… before it’s too late!”
- What Fire? The love of God and of family.
- Too Late? 13 is the average age a child rejects the Faith and his family in his heart! By age 22, that decision shows itself. Today, 85% of Catholic kids leave the Faith!
- Why This Works? WATCHING together Viral YouTube videos and BONDING together through the faith Q&A’s is fun and effective. It also helps parents and kids learn God’s language of parable, so they can discern God speaking in their prayer!
