Thanks for joining us today for some more practical type questions.

And this first one comes from Vani.

This culture turned our dear daughter away from the faith she grew up in, broken hearts, but still have a good relationship with her if we avoid faith or politics.

Advice?

Well, I think most people know that I face a similar situation of my own family, and I have said in the past that my

goal at this point is not to convince my daughter of my view, but to convince my daughter of my love.

And that's been my MO for a number of years now. And when things come up, kind of

natural, I don't know, naturally is the right word, but there are been times when she's asked me

about some things. And I talk about some of them. I won't look into detail, but mostly it's from a

contrarian perspective.

And I do my best very calmly to give my reasons and my rationale without being kind of an attack mode. I mean, that's not usually my style, but even so, it's, if your dad and it's your daughter,

then it's easy to kind of have that kind of posturing that may be a little bit too aggressive,

especially if your daughter's a young adult or an adult.

And so I've just tried to respond, but I haven't introduced anything.

I'm just praying, praying, praying.

And one of the things that I pray for my daughter, and I was praying this morning coming

into the office about this, is that God would bring people into her life that love Jesus

and that she can relate to it

a different way than she relates to me, and with not whatever kind of baggage she thinks

she has from the family or from me personally, getting into the way, getting in the way.

She's just somebody who's at school.

She goes to a state school here in California,
