to get this right, because if we don't teach our sons, the world
will. If we don't teach our sons about women pornography will if we
don't teach our sons about friendship, they'll live a life of
loneliness. If we don't teach our sons about leadership, they'll be
followers all their lives. Being a father is not about efficiency.
It's about discipleship. Father is not about time management. It's
about heart development."
- 9:37 - "A lot of good involved dads, but an

- 24:05 - Exponential by Dave Ferguson
- 24:07 - “It's just the process of how to give
away what you have and make sure it shows up in somebody else's
life. It takes more time to do that. It takes a lot of time, but
when you see the joy of somebody who owns something that's
literally gone from your life into their life, they now have a
deposit and this deposit can be given to somebody else's life.
That, to me, is one of the greatest things you can experience as a
dad.”
- 25:16 - “I think this is the key here, because
so often our culture is built on charisma and charisma is like that
person possesses the magical gifts that none of us have. And
therefore, it produces celebrity culture and consumerism. But when
you codify the gift and you can show somebody, here's what I'm
doing that is working, you then impart it to them and it creates
contributors in confidence rather than consumption.”
- 25:59 - Shop
Class as Soul-craft
- 28:15 - "Men need a cause. A cause is bigger
than a vision, more expansive than a strategy, and more long
lasting than a season. It's larger than a fight." - From The
Intentional Father
- 30:09 - On the power of a cause in men: “I
basically want to infuse that a man has strength and that he should
utilize it in a great fight. But the difference is it needs to be
in the real world as opposed to just accomplishment. And it needs
to be for the sake of others. It's never your strength. It's never
to oppress others for self gratification. It is always to lift the
oppressed for the sake of the other.”
- 30:52 - “And a part of it is to try and help
young men realize, don't give you a vigor and your strength to
wasted things because you have no idea how you could participate in
God's great cause if you channel them for the sake of others.”
- 32:14 - Wisdom on relationships: “The circle of
intimacy, the circle of impact in the circle of influence”
- 33:13 - Most important priorities in 2nd through
5th grade: (1)”maintaining the emotional bond and setting the
family culture” (2) “understand the psychological development of
what's happening in that age”
- 40:50 - “I just have a path of intentionality
that sets up the odds in your favor. And again, you can't control
your son's heart, but you can fight for it. And this is a plan to
fight for your son's future. And I believe that when we do that, we
activate the heart of God's divine favor comes through our way, the
Holy Spirit, gets involved and we're not on our own. And without
it, I think you're left to chance and you’re left to the
world.”
