Summary

One of the most important things that we as Christians can know is what fathers need to say to their children.

One of the first inclinations that I have is to let my dad know.

1:11.0

And one day I said, wonder why that is. It seems like when something bad happens, I want to talk to my mother. And when something good happens to me, I want to tell my dad. I want my dad to know about that. And the more that

discipling dads, if you're part of the body of Christ who has a responsibility to teach one another

1:45.5

and to disciple one another is to learn what every child needs to hear from his or her father.
