Ed explores the challenging reality that great fatherhood doesn't come naturally but requires receiving God's love first before we can properly give it to our children.
• Fatherhood is an impossible job that we can't succeed at through willpower alone
• The hard truth is that we father out of what we receive, not what we achieve
• Children often leave the church because they experience conditional love at home
• Our children learn about forgiveness by watching how we ask for forgiveness
• The question "Help me understand how I've hurt you" can heal broken relationships
• What we model for our children will eventually be what they do with their own children
• We're never more like God than when we love our children unconditionally, especially when they fail
• The way we respond to our children's failures shapes their understanding of God
• True fatherhood means being the message, not just preaching it
