Key Quotes

  • 5:26 - "If you are affirming and lifting up the woman who gave you the privilege of becoming a father and you're caring for her, as we see in Ephesians 5, Colossians 3 and other places, that bride is going to not only inform your fathering, but have the tight marriage that we need our children and grandchildren to see as models."
  • 18:27 - "When we get this, what I call generational strength and solidarity, it brings a joy not only to you as a grandparent, but you can feel that you're getting ready to get promoted and at that promotion, you're going to see somebody that will say, you did the best you could. Well done, my son."
