On this Father’s Day, Pastor Bill speaks to fathers about developing an obedient heart in your child. Is it important for your child to be able to relate well to teachers, coaches, bosses, and perhaps even drill instructors? If your child doesn’t learn this lesson from you, he or she may have to learn the lesson from the police, a judge or from prison guards! Listen in to the podcast this week for more on developing an obedient heart in your child. The message begins with the audio from a video clip (the clip can be seen here, the first on the page).
