Key Quotes

  • 00:45 - "The best thing I could do is teach them [to love God's Word] and enjoy it myself. If you're enjoying it yourself, they will naturally follow you. Just open the Word as a family, pick a verse and memorize it. Put it on your wall, have every kid write it on a little thing and put it in their mirror or whatever. Do something."
  • 33:12 - "There's a security that only comes with the father. That's the way it was supernaturally designed from the Father. And it does not work any other way."
