Key Quotes (Full Transcript of the Conversation Here) 5:02 - "When your vision is high enough, you'll have hope to do something, but if your vision is too low, then the dissatisfaction can lead to depression, hopelessness, frustration. And then that gives you a game plan. It's called The Change Equation." 31:03 - "Jesus was a liberator. You can be a lion and a lamb, but if you're both, you're liberator. So it's really following the principles of Jesus and raising up, healing and casting out, rather than dominating or abdicating or protecting. It's really being intentional in the way you are, in the way you lead yourself, so that you can lead others."

Justin also writes fiction and poetry, and is working on a children's book.    Key Quotes (Full Transcript of the Conversation Here)   22:53 - "The idea of a pause prayers, before approaching a moment of discipline, have a short emphasis on short moment of prayer in your head, just to say, Lord, help me discipline this child like you discipline me, which is full of grace and truth, right? And it could just be Lord help, but some way of looking up to God before you look down at them so that you can be more like the God who parents you as you parent them." 27:49 - "I want to step on that so much because the fact that you fight with your kids or your spouse is completely ordinary. That's what happens to everyone in every family, whether you reconcile with your spouse and your kids, it's completely unordinary, that's what barely ever happens. And that's why families often go the way they do, in dysfunction. So the question of a Christian household is not whether we fight, we all do, question of a Christian household is whether we reconcile to them the way God reconciles to us.

He serves as the Executive Pastor at Friends Church.   Key Quotes (Full Transcript of the Conversation Here)   19:49 - "Choose joy, always. Be thankful, always. So we're going to really live in that discipline of always, there's always something to be thankful for, which isn't just this pie in the sky, pretend like nothing bad is happening. It is the way through, though. It's the discipline that even in the midst of super hard, challenging, emotional, stressful, all that stuff is still there. But the way through what I've learned from practice, I learned from my wife in her modeling. And I think our kids just live in this now too, because we just practiced it for so many years, which is, oh, I'm going to start with gratitude. Gratitude is the way through." 26:19 - "So I can speak about all these values, the practice of them, super hard. But I also learned on a spiritual level, that's where the battle is. Anything you set as a value in your life, whether it's your relationship with Jesus, your wife, your marriage, your kids, your work, the enemy wants to destroy that, especially when you declare, this is how we're going to live. He's going to go after that. And so it forces us to constantly be on guard. You don't have to be afraid of it, But we have to be ready for it." 30:13 - "I think the second you're aware of, you're not in a good emotional place, then it is a matter of putting on. Taking the the lessons from Paul in his letters and saying, no, put on the clothing you want to be, whether you feel like it or not. That's the discipline, because discipline is just practice is keep practicing, keep practicing, keep practicing to be the person you want to be."   Conversation Links   Friends Church   Links from dadAWESOME   https://dadawesome.org/life/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618
