Key Quotes- 11:44 - "There are no perfect fathers except one. And if he is tightly in your heart and your household, and you're just humbly submitting to Him, He's going to bless you. You know why? He's invested in your name. They call him Father."
- 21:32 - "If you're predictable, if your children know what to expect of you, if you keep your promises and this is a subsection of the importance of discipline and giving guidance.

You're a landmark relationally, spiritually and emotionally. And so that consistency is the predictability in who you are and your follow through."
