Summary

It is the duty of children to ask questions, and it is the duty of parents (particularly fathers) to provide answers. Ample provision requires diligent work. Just as a father must work hard to make physical provision, so too must he work hard to make spiritual and theological provision. As Douglas Wilson has said, “A man may not be a vocational theologian, but in his home he must be the resident theologian.”

0:00.0	All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
0:04.7	because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and
0:09.6	admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
0:16.3	Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness
0:23.2	of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
0:30.2	review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
0:36.5	We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.
0:42.3	Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

1:38.3	that children be busy about the work of asking questions, not asking questions from a place of disobedience,
1:48.2	not asking questions from a place of rebellion towards authority, but a place of wanting to
1:54.9	actually understand who God is and what his commandments are, wanting to better understand the Bible and the
2:03.4	teachings about Jesus. And so it is the duty or the job of children to ask questions. And in the
2:11.2	same way, it is the duty of parents to answer questions. Ample provision requires hard work. So speaking to parents now,
2:24.5	children, ask your parents questions. If there's something you don't know about Jesus,
2:29.9	something you don't know about God, or something you don't know about the sermon,
