147 | Jon Tyson on Intentional Fatherhood & Creating the Primal Path
"I wanted him in this liminal space. My goal was to irreparably break his heart for the poor of the world so he'd never just be a spoiled, complacent American ever - He'd always be haunted, because those years are so formative... I just wanted to get in there, God's heart for the poor."
146 | Mark Batterson on How to Win the Day as a Dad
“How are your kids going to learn how to say sorry, unless they learn how to apologize from you?

Prioritizing. Big difference there.”

144 | Dancing On a Rooftop, Sabbatical Prayer & Freedom From Sexual Sin (Jeremy Shelton)
A Christian man in sexual sin…is muzzled. This muzzle renders him passive and powerless to participate in the Kingdom of God on this earth.

Worse, it incapacitates him from fulfilling his God-given purpose.

"When I stop dreaming, when I stop allowing my heart to really dream about things that apart from God are impossible, I not longer kind of lean in, I begin to lean back. I don't engage, I disengage. And I would say the greatest thing in the world you could do for your kids is to be a dreamer that's pursuing what God has in your life."
