Key Quotes
- 19:37 - "I don't think my daughters ever heard a negative word about dad travel. Because [Kim] had woven into our family's reality the fact that Dad was on mission and that we're on mission, that they knew where I was, what I was doing and why I was doing it. So there was a real intentionality about the purpose of our family."
- 34:02 - "I feel like fathers have sold their birthright as a dad and that right of fatherhood. I mean, can you imagine that God the Father chooses as His most supreme title, as Father. Not King, not Lord. He is Father. He is Abba. And that moniker, that honor is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, God of all. That's the title He wears most proudly."
