Fatherly Wisdom – A Dad's Example

It is the duty of a father to pass wisdom down to his children and it is the privilege of the child to receive it. Most of us remember a time when we thought our parents were outdated and that it was their goals to make our lives miserable with useless rules. Honestly, we didn't consider it a privilege to listen to our father's wisdom. Perhaps as you grew older, you began to realize there was some wisdom behind that parental guidance.

In this video, Francis Chan and his daughter share a beautiful message about adoption. Dellal went from knowing nothing of God to being a disciple of Christ. It all started with her dad's example and passion for God's Word. He shared his fatherly wisdom with her.
