| 0:00.0 | What's up friends? Welcome to the Steve Weatherford show and this is a special episode because I'm joined by my beloved son and whom I'm well pleased. His name is Ace. He's 16 years old and him and I have had a very unique journey together because the first 11 years of his life I was not walking with the Lord I think I like claimed Christ but I wasn't |
| 0:26.8 | living for him and so in this podcast episode we're going to share a little bit of |
| 0:32.3 | testimony of where we were. We're |
| 0:35.4 | going to share a little bit of testimony of where we're at right now and and |
| 0:40.4 | we're going to share with you some practical and tactical leadership steps that you as the |
| 0:47.2 | husband and the father and the spiritual leader in your home, if you're feeling like man I like really have made some mistakes and led |

| 1:02.4 | been kind of asleep at the wheel as the |

| 2:08.3 | probably just those really. What so rattle them off again for me who did you I because I don't want to speak for you I think in your own words |
| 2:16.4 | Who was I like seven eight nine ten years ago? |
