As humans how often do we start our day with, "I didn't get enough sleep, I don't have enough clothes, I don't have enough time today...." The list goes on, those statements become more and more true because we tell ourselves over and over.  As fathers we must get out of this scarcity mindset and look at the world with an abundant view, as we build legacies for our families we will want to pass on a mindset of abundance to our children.

Grant has been a long time friend of mine.  This is an incredible view into the changes he made to be a loving father to his kids.  This is proof that Fatherhood matters not only when your kids are young - but throughout their lives.  Fatherhood is a craft that you can spend a lifetime working on.  Your kids will never stop wanting the approval from their father.  This is an episode that every youth pastor should listen to.
