There are ways in which you can design your family, the ways in which you can parent that will really bless some of your kids, but not all of your kids.

What's up, guys? Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood. So I think it's actually really important that you guys have in your life families that you know who have raised multiple godly children.

And you look at their life and you're like, wow, I'd like to learn more about that.
