| 0:31.3 | Welcome to the politics by faith, morning motivation. Thanks for Peenier. here. The theme this week is a friendly reminder to slow down, be present, and live in the moment. If you've noticed the last two days, it's particularly with your children. But this is also true with your wife and of course true with God. The principle remains the same. I want to play a conversation here with pastors John Piper and John |
| 0:56.1 | MacArthur. They were asked if they could go back to the beginning of their ministry and do it all |

| 1:55.0 | age, say, 13, 14, 15. And that has not set them up to be as effective, I think, in their lives as they might have been. |
| 2:05.6 | So I would go to the John Piper at age 34, I think, and I would say, do better at supplementing your truth commitments with drawing out your wife's heart |
| 2:22.3 | and drawing out your child's heart. |
