1-1: Thankfulness

If you're a deadbeat dad, you likely feel bad about how you were as a dad and that's understandable. But ... what if you are the type of dad that has worked hard from day 1 of being a great dad, it it seems like ... well ... that hasn't worked? Then what? It's fascinating to Mark how many people, his children's age thought he was / is an amazing dad, but he gets the impression from a number of his children that they think he sucks as a dad.

Mark shared with his teenagers as he does now as they are adults. "I believe you are right that I suck as a dad ... but ... I wonder if it's not in the areas that you think I suck."

Melissa's Mark second oldest daughter shared this video with Mark. He cries ... every time he hears it.  

Questions?

Mark has, for decades, done between 15 and 25 podcasts a week and ... spontaneousl,y a thought will be triggered and he's thinking of how one of his children has captured his heart and put that in the podcast. For dad ... Mark hopes this will be an encouragement to you. For wives & children ... "Your husband may be deeply hurt and he may not even know it or feel safe in sharing it?" What does "Not feeling safe mean?" It may be that he cares for his wife and children and puts their wants, desires and hurts above himself?  

1-2: How 14 year old Angela won the heart of her father

How does a 14 year old, teenage girl act more mature than her much older aunt? Why do mom's often protect their own daughters over their grand daughters? Hmmm ... if someone was mapping out Mark's heart, it would seem to capture Mark's heart that one needs to be like Angela was, when she was 14 years old where she was strong, humble, forgiving and could let slights against her go. She was willing to be a bigger person, a more mature person than her adult aunt.

Questions?

If her aunt were to watch this podcast ... what would her aunt's response be? Would it be to feel Angela's pain and her brother's restraint and discipline? Would she realize that her mom and dad "protecting" her as her youngest daughter was not actually healthy for her but created distance from other siblings and family. Or ... would she be ticked at her brother for sharing the story? Hmmm ... what does our response indicate about our hearts? Maybe look at how Joseph handled his brothers and "tested" their hearts.
