If you're not listening to Desiring God yet you're missing out. John Piper has a whole section on being a godly father and it's conviction mixed with hope every time. I listen duri

Got really angry at my wife yesterday over something stupid and said things I shouldn't have said. Our kids witnessed the whole thing. I felt ashamed but then I realized this might
