Friday evening dinner time will dinner there and then ever first session right after that and then back Saturday morning and we are asking that you please consider making a donation for the meals is to help the church out so that losing money on it. When tells about this week's topic AI so you notice to really foundational part of masculine journey is being fathered by God and which has to do with so many times with our earthly fathers and so we how have you know that could be fraught with landmines and I realize that some of people listening… Since a hard subject for other people listening is it's a beloved subject but not but nonetheless The way God designed it was for us to have what Jesus had you know a father that longs to see his son coming out of the water, saying, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

And then that was that the idea of being the apple of the fathers. I and then he he he gave him the second acknowledgment by saying listen to them guys listen to and pay attention. Another words, my son has what it takes. And so every every son wants to hear from his father and some way shape or form. Those two ideas of in a year, the beloved due date of the apple of my eye that plays out a lot of different ways. And then, but also that they want to know what they have what it takes. And so it's a really neat subject again. It it Jesus wants to set us free from a lot of bad fathering that that we received it on all sorts of different levels, even from a coach right at or whatever your situation may be in.

And so it's a neat topic to get your heart back which is the idea the messenger incurably daily. You have the first clip of the day. I do, and is presently from Danica Fisher classic father-son scenarios in the but this is from the episode called a beautiful kid and this kid has educated oatmeal.

The ways of the world and allowances in the weighted things work and he has gold to have a conversation with his dad and to enlighten and he's pretty sure that Andy not aware of these new worldly ideas and any interchanges between them is is classic. As usual, but pretty good. Father and son will son send 5% rule I don't believe I've heard about $0.75 a week around $0.25 $0.75.

That's a lot of money in a years time had come to see us 52 weeks in the year a lot of money for you, I do what is this, is that you can document link link only on velocity in an O'Reilly rose up Satan's absence in the work illustrate okay. There are no rules for paws and sons.

It's as simple as this, each each mother or father raises his boil girl as the case may be the way that that he thinks is best and I think it's best for you to give 1/4 and work for you see when you give something in this instance, clean the garage and you get something in return.

Like 1/4 of that's the greatest Bale in the world you do feel good working knowledge of well as as you get bigger while you be doing more and more work for more and more return and that good feeling will get bigger. Just enemy good $0.75 right all clear to Ella. You just you just think about that for one thing about next thing to do when you're feeling sad is to shoot for the good thing right you growing up.

Dad was he's a mechanical genius can fix anything but is we come grown-up and we had a biker broke. He would always have us out there fixing witting or resulted in any taught us the value of your being able to do things and and to work for what you have and you he allowed us to work on our local foreman and earn money.

That's what I bought my first car with, but you have to car broker visit going over the car you go to shop with you, and I hated but the ideas without Calico feels good and tired and but is the value of that throughout my life is been that you have been able to do a lot of things in utero something broke label to fix it and you know the value of what the father is poured into me and you show them the love of taking care of this and you know making sure that we we did have a what what it took so thank you.

This is a show can have a lot of clips because this is all about you was talking about the father role you as far as in our life that father role in different ways.

You spoke of your dad. When I talk about Michael Clement really can't talk to my dad with one thing I did think about my dad that he really kinda gave me was a lot of values.

My dad was not a Christian when I was growing up in income a Christian until right before he died several years after I'd been out of the house, you know, but he did have values known he would teach me things like you never had a woman you never do this unite you will never throw the first punch and fight all these kind of know rules the admin live by kinda staff open doors for you know for people elderly in young people in female and in all that that he did these days may not be as apropos that we do that that you know it still is good values in and I do know that my dad because he was pretty adamant enough, I would rather fight in school first thing you want to know it if I ever get aside again fights all the time but and I throw the first punch know you can do a lot to instigate a fight without throw the first punch.

I learned how to do that it's working talk more about this after the break that let's take a little bit of a sidetrack and say hello that Andy has been not been with us while any welcome to the show again. I thought maybe quit the night as you like whether I loved what he yelled at you funny.

And he said yeah I can stare down and make yeah just asking questions, not expecting to do that.

So where were you at now so I'm on my way, but early on the vulnerable trip.

I went back all family where I grew up all of the relative all into the Father's Day father learn more about them at family members – great. I know that the claim only your prayer you're working. See, Missouri. I was sons called misery.

Hopefully this will get your primarily development or okay with you that there's quite a few people I think. I don't know. I will let you how it was definitely a missile, life and times of Vince. Obviously just been driving through that anyone drive you back with us at least on the phone and every back in person next week come back and talk more about father's room were about 50-50. I think the fathers are still alive between Andy and interested persons to live a different feeling when your father still around.

Then when his passive different perspective that go to mask injury.org to register the boot camp or the entrenchment document. One of my favorite things about boot camp. The favorite thing every time I go is encountered. God knows, generally speaking, it's nothing we registered masculine journey.OR. For me, describing boot camp when I heard the stories from the stage and the other men had and then during my prayer time on getting a download from God, where my life is how his story I heard from God is saying this masculine journey.OR. Welcome back to mask injury were talking about father's and that that song was called song of my father from urban rescue and it's only appropriate that we talk about our heavenly father during this weekend, who is obviously Robby set up the be the key inner masculine journey and who he chooses to initially partners with as our head, our earthly father and the people he brings in her life throughout her life to help fathers and so he's been navigating that continues to navigate it.

We just give him all the all the blessings of the progress we make, and all the credit and is thank you for the way he loves us and that Saugus really never really thought about God singing over me before and it is this really cool thought, you know member singing my kids when they were little and on they can tell they they were found out they couldn't hear that I can sing really poorly that that yeah just as a father sings over the kids than in this pleasant thought that was for me were were back on the show and Robby were going to be talking about your click next right yeah so this is from a movie, boyhood and and that idea of the father sing it over us. You know it's really I never forget when I did the father had taught that all is said that hit me. Wait a minute, and I've been people say you know that their father died so they went with her backup plan, which now God is my father it, that's not it at all that he was the original person that wanted to make sure that you existed. If you study genealogy at all, you'll come to the conclusion like man all these people barely escaped death in order that I could be on the on the earth because God really really wanted me to be around and that he delighted, and so this movie is called boyhood. It's about a father who had these children want to chronicle their life you know and you know when your new father and your kids are born into so excited about the journey what's can happen and actually ended up making a movie over what the clips that this guy I'm put together, but in this particular scene. Unfortunately, like life happens.

His wife divorced him now and so he's yellow in a difficult place and you can imagine that there you are a divorced dad, you know, and you're picking up your kids at school and you're trying to engage them in a conversation and if you ever pick up your kids at school and you ask him what you do today you know what this father has experienced and so he decides get a little creative and I will take talk to me Samantha how was your week and she saw me talk to Billy in the cafeteria sculpture was working on what was the unicorn in the Brokaw so Mason was your week. Well dad shirt actually cigarettes from his mom. He wanted me to smoke.

I said no, what are time you had quit smoking about what sculpture you make see that I didn't I didn't I didn't know that I know you were even interested in you girlfriend does that happen more natural starting so I love the intimacy of you know, it starts out like we all do with the mass, and I can tell her parents what really happened and you know he's got a mask onto because is just doing the damn thing regulars of the Dead Sea. We have covered your day but it goes to a different level of intimacy as he gets a little creative to get them to say things they say things and take them off guard and the next thing you know you have a real connection and and you're finding out you know how cool your kids are and you know is his son statement from the backseat where he cares about is that like all while son you care about me like I care about you and you know it's just it's it's it's an awakening and you know I think it's really neat.

For example, Sam Malik Caleb taken you enough this weekend. You know tell that I think it's more than cool right that we we have that kind of thing Caleb asked me this last week.

My youngest, and graduated in Caleb's home and and he asked me when I was over at the party.

You know with human is like what you do next weekend is really everything going on is like will come stay with me in Raleigh. It's Father's Day weekend and come stay at my apartment and hang out together and I got a coupon for an escape room and what everyone ago do this in restaurants can go to some of that and it was such cool thing for my heart to know that my son went to hang out with me. Yes friends over and Raleigh is coworkers heat. There's lots of things he could fill his weekend with his choosing to fill it with me being there with the which I thought was really pretty cool and so I mean just a light in that in that situation, so maybe hear that sound that can invite your dad and I can't invite my dad anymore, which could go on that kind of adventure but need not to be to be invited to go to that with my son or grandsons over that be cool and relieve the dad or the son. This is an opportunity taking a while. What can I do to show my dad or my son that I love them, you know, or someone that was your father figure that you are very important in my life just write them a letter, even consuming an email attacks by now.

If you write them a letter and send that take the time to do that. That helps really show somebody.

While I really like this for anybody want this letter to write a little what write a little out letter is mailed to my local cardiac about your dad at my dad was just like, and from my standpoint I you know when I write showed up. He wanted to know what was going on in my life. And even though he didn't typically care for what was going on in my life is. Let's face it, man.

I was in Scientology. I did some weird things right aliens shenanigans major. He was it was Robby the horse. Dad, this could not be an easy task. You noticed I like that father this and will let them plug it in the bill volatility will do that again. You know that's my dad. You know he was ill let me do some really stupid stuff that would teach me and it did it did and so he gave me great freedom, but he always cared and as I think you know love covers a multitude of sin and I never my dad always was. Let me know I had what it took.

Any always, always, I was Apple design. So, I realize a lot of people didn't have that but I was so blessed that I did which I think is also reflected in your heavenly father with your life deeply. He let me do some exactly clear that CD we got about a little over three minutes left. Do you think you could set up your clip and play do you want us to do it in the after hours of great grain of popular being filtering, by back to the future, where Ray dad with a baseball player died before was born in in that comes back in life through the screen where the thing that become the field of dreams and really want a daily admitted that he knows that daddy that you just inviting him to come and play catch with which any of them would do it. He never had that opportunity with dad really got up late into dad and mom's influence in my life is important stuff. Something on your plate. I'll play screen is very very very relational fatherly matter father and tell) for like will you ever bothered their we will be playing there is something about that shared joy in doing something with them.

All back-and-forth and my dad was there like some guy bothered to do that Monday came along after our morbid coming.

His dad never really knew that dad died at an early age and let this quality was. He did a great job with me and my brothers and my sister and that that whole thing about being relational, and father, and not so much of you know we take everything we do the things to be performance-based. You do this you do that just be in there and be a relationship not we don't not that we don't get the fact that we have what it takes important a path along the date they can even be influenced in engagement So dad was big in your love for adventure.

He demonstrated that you took your adventures which led to your love for doing that and argument on one for the last like month now that I know it's only five weeks in the mess and you know you get a hard time. We definitely have been missing you that have back next week and learn more about your story come back after the after-hours return more about fathering and other people to the father.
