Key Quotes
- 6:24 - "One of the intuitions that shifts when you think this way is when you're parenting your kids, the default in our culture is to parent your kids for their happiness. That creates a terminal generation."
- 8:43 - "The most practical thing to build for your children is a multi-generational root structure. So they are grounded in their identity from day one. They know who we are. They're not just an individual now. They are an individual. And we want to honor all of the unique ways that God has made them. But what we've been experimenting with as a culture is that, that is primary and that's almost entirely where identity comes from, is it's all individual."
