I think that these kinds of ways of when you see repeated patterns or you start to see things that you want to really cement in the heart or minds of your kids, that you try to like articulate them in a really simple way.

What's up guys? Welcome to another five minute of fatherhood. So let's dig deep into one of the most, the best passages in Proverbs

that really talk about how you build a family culture. And it says in Proverbs 620,

My son, keep your father's commandments and forsake not your mother's teaching. Bind them on your

heart always. Tie them around your neck. you walk they will lead you when you lie

down they will watch over you and when you awake they will talk with you for the commandment is a lamp

and the teaching a light and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life so the question i want to ask you guys

is how does a father command his children? How does a mother teach?

Like, how does this work?

And there's a really, I think, beautiful picture

being painted by Solomon here

that what happens in often in a lot of families

is the way a father commands is he actually crafts a culture.

And one of the ways that we talk about that is like through

articulating a family mission and family values or pillars. And so when you begin to articulate

those things clearly, then your kids are constantly being sort of, that they're being reminded

of this culture or this way. And oftentimes what a mother does

is she comes alongside of each of the kids and sort of as we are all kind of moving towards

this culture together, the commands of the father, she's constantly instructing them in the

way. Like this is how this works. This is how that works.

And so this is often the way that ancient families would really train up their kids,

is that there would be things the father would do.
