If the Lord one day blesses me with a wife and kids of my own I vow that I will teach my children to trust in the Lord , to follow him , to love him with all they’re heart , soul , strength and mind , and teach them to treat people with kindness , love , dignity and respect and to honor authority and I will teach them to live life responsibly , to value life and how to defend themselves and teach them to be strong , brave and courageous and I will teach them to walk and talk with integrity like every father should
@@CoopyKat What are you talking about it was good. And funny at times. Great action. With a very good message. I guess you don't care about good fathers or anything that matter.
I agree, any man who loves the Lord and their family should watch this. This speech tells us exactly what men are supposed to be as husbands and fathers.
I agree brother. Men must take control step up and be fathers instead of running away. Just became a stepfather and I am so proud of the girl that I'm taking responsibility for. She knows I cannot replace her dad and she understands I'm not blood related. She also knows and understand that I love her and that love shines through Jesus. We pray attend church and I am soon giving her a promise ring.
Me too… What’s crazy is I’m not Christian… I’m a Nordic pagan… And even then this speech really calls to me to be a better father of my daughter and of my son.
David Rice I am a movie buff and the wooden acting in this film and others like it makes me cringe. It has some heart tugging moments and some hilarious moments but if it weren't for the good message of this movie it would be almost unwatchable
"So where are you men of courage? Where are you fathers who fear the Lord? It's time to rise up and answer the call that God has given you and to say I will! I will! I WILL!"
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 God called me to this job. Whatever you believe, enjoy it. I am rewarded by God for all the good I do for my community. My coworkers. My family.
@@willmartin792 it is not what I believe it is the absolute truth...the day will likely come where you will be forced to follow orders from your fellow nazi pigs...or serve God and do the right thing.
Regardless of my parents mistakes in life not following after Christ, I have made a vow to be growing as a young man of the Lord. We can't be just "good enough" we have to be complete in what we model after to be how we are supposed to be. The way Jesus taught us
You’re right Cooper! It’s not religion it’s like a relationship. You get out of it what you put into it. Because He leans into those who “love” him. Small group is needed to learn and grow👍
This speech got me. I am a father of 2 boys. Who will raise my kids? I will. Who will teach them to trust and love Jesus? I will. Who will pray for God to bless my family? I will. Who will teach my children to be good, respectful, and responsible men? I will. More dads today need to be better parents and say "I will!"
@@CoopyKat What kind of negative comment is that? At least Kev has the intelligence to realise he could do a bit better (like us all) Whereas you in that comment sound like a right narcissistic ass.
you can. Through him who gives you strength....Jesus. Repent, believe in him and call out to him. he will help you. On your own you can do nothing. you will try by the reminder of moral law and weight of good conscience...but the steam will burn out as the job gets tougher....remember you are human. But God through Jesus Christ you can. Only turn from yourself and turn to him who overcame all human temptations and even death. He WILL help you. This is my prayer for you brother. That you will come to faith in Jesus for all your needs.
My dad was a man of courage and raised all of us with love of God and a servants heart. He even mentored other kids. I miss him, but I know I will see him when God calls me home.
I remember seeing this movie in the theater. I asked my friend to go with me. At the time....I couldn't find my son and his mom. We broke up the previous year. Long story short, she moved out of state. So that's why I couldn't find them. I held in years during this movie. After I dropped off my friend..I started crying on my drive home. I eventually found my son. He lives with me now 😊 No better feeling than to raise your children, being a father etc. This movie has a special place in my heart!!
It was the same for me. We took a group of men from our church and the neighborhood. At the end ALL the men were in tears. Many were in circles praying and a few men accepted Christ that night. It was an amazing experience!!!
I remember in 8th grade, our teacher made us watch this in class. Rewatching it now reminded me how beautiful the message of this movie really is. Although it doesn’t have a high budget, well-known actors, nor did it win many awards, this movie will always remain in my heart as one of the most inspiring. Kinda corny, I’ll admit but the message is what is important. Love this!
It didn't win many awards BECAUSE of the message! This was a relatively low budget film, but you can't put a dollar amount on the message! The first time I saw this, I cried, and still do every time I watch it. Hands down, one of the best movies ever made in my opinion.
Lets this sink in to those single moms with too much pride and think their kid don't need a father for their child. Remember ladies you picked him maybe the alcohol got the best of you but you choose him .
I went through a class based on this movie through our men’s ministry. It changed my life, the resolution still hangs prominently in our home. I even went on to lead this class for another group of men, and that is soooooooo not me.
Men who are kings, creating an environment where women and children can not only be safe but who thrive and express their gifts Men who are warriors and can give a hit and take one if they have to Men who are scouts and understand the lay of the land and can be resourceful finding answers to problems they figure things out. Men who love NOT because the other deserves it but because of the integrity in their own hearts,.....that is what a man is
wish I grew up in a home that had a Fatherly authority with a family alter,,,, but that doesn't matter anyway. I hope every young men out there take notice of such and become responsible fathers to our next generations. Great Speech
Not even movies like The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, The Wizard of Oz, or Citizen Kane? Cause those are much better movies than compared to this.
@@mightyeagle51 A "Christian message" doesn't automatically make a good movie. In fact chances are, most of the time, those messages tend to lean towards being dogmatic and hamfisted in execution to where it's pandering to a specific target audience of what they want to hear (hence the phrase, "preaching to the choir"). That's why movies like God's Not Dead, Do you Believe?, and War Room don't work (and also because of other elements like trite humor, bad writing, and scatterbrain storytelling). Now, that's not to say that there can't be good religious movies, in fact I want to see some decently made ones. If you want some good examples of movies that work within the context of centering around religious aspects, look at The Prince of Egypt (1998) and Silence (2016). Both know how to work as individual pieces of cinematic art and well crafted storytelling that aren't afraid to push boundries. So telling me that a movie works simply because of it's message doesn't cut it for me. That's like telling me that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a masterpiece because of the political and social commentaries spread throughout the movie (which by the way I absolutely hated). So I hope that this little essay gives you some understanding as to why I don't agree with your statement.
I do not have children. But I have been placed into the lives of many children as a teacher. To many, I am the only man in their lives, to others I am someone that works with them.... but hopefully, all of my past, present and future students know me as someone they can trust and look up to and call on in times of need.
Exactly cuz they need to realize how serious and crucial they’re role as a father is and how there is more to being a father than providing for they’re families and giving orders
I have gone through tough times in life. I lost my great grandmother a few months ago. My mom and dad have had COVID-19. I need gods grace and mercy with me and my family.
Good for you Mr.Sian. This is the kind of movie that all male parents should watch and have a place near God. I watched this movie a lot and have it in my library. Remember put God first.
🙏“Padre, sé que he violado tus leyes y mis pecados me han separado de ti. Realmente lo siento, y ahora quiero alejarme de mi vida pecaminosa pasada hacia ti. Perdóname y ayúdame a evitar volver a pecar. Creo que su hijo, Jesucristo, murió por mis pecados, resucitó de entre los muertos, está vivo y escucha mi oración. Invito a Jesús a convertirse en el Señor de mi vida, a gobernar y reinar en mi corazón desde este día en adelante. Por favor envía tu Espíritu Santo para ayudarme a obedecerte y hacer tu voluntad por el resto de mi vida. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén "
I made many mistakes as a young father. I missed many precious moments that will never be back. But, God's grace is limitless. I've got a second chance to guide my family, my wife and my two kids. To teach them about God, his love, his mercy. God bless anyone who reads this! (I hope my English is understandable since I live in Mexico City)
Your English is perfect - it takes a lot of humility to admit when we've made mistakes. May God bless and strengthen you as you seek to lead your family...
I not only say I will. But I have. I did. And I will continue to stand for my children and my children's children. And I have enough love for children that is with out a dad , I will step up. And continue to stand until God calls me home.
Every time I listen to this, I get teary eyed. When he says “where are you men of courage” my heart stops for a moment! And the music is perfect and beautiful! Love this movie, can’t wait to see Legacy and surprises they’ve added!!
I've been extremely blessed to have a father who has done all of these things for me. He has set a great example for the kind of Godly man who I should seek out to have as a husband. Thanks to him, I will not settle for second-best.
wish u could see this husband , I know ur a very responsible and a Godly father & husband am so blessed that ur the father of our twins en very proud ur my husband ,,, Am so grateful LORD ,,, love u Pilika wangu
I am thankful for my parents, although they did not attend church regularly, nor do they now, they did model Christian values. I am thankful for my ex, though he did not stay in his children's lives and model Christ, he introduced me to a good church where I and my children attend now. I am thankful for my husband, who, though he does not attend church, has stepped up to the plate, and become a father figure in my children's lives. I am thankful for good men in our church, who do model Christ to my children, and mentor them in their growing relationship with Christ. This particular speech is one that reminds me that these men each have provided something for my children. Thank God for them.
"The Lord, our father, cherish every moment" beautiful words shared with me through my precious sweetheart Ahmed 💘 💘 what an amazing love letter not only for me, but our future family. I love, honor and cherish you my precious sweetheart, patriarch of our home. 💘 💘 You will be an amazing daddy.
AWESOME! This message must be promulgated to all churches, homes, schools, places of public gatherings and all social media/networks to reach the ears and hearts of men and women to accept and appreciate the God-given roles of fathers to their families. Fathers are needed in the lives of children and families. Moreover, the idea of fathering others who are without a father in their lives is also critical. This godly love is not limited to next of kin but is enough to share for others to experience God's love through the family.
This hits harder now that I am a father. I have disowned my own father for how he hurt our family (with no remorse). I have adopted 3 wonderful children after fostering them, and working on adopting the 4th. I’ve watched this movie, but it’s been years. This speech is what hit me the most, and now as a father to 4 kids, it shows me what I need to do. I need to be courageous, and step into the role , God has called me to!
So true. I've just became a stepfather and I am so proud to be a part of the most amazing little girls life. With God's guidance I pray that I am as good a father as He is. I'm grateful for my dad's teachings and correction when I stepped out of line. She's my daughter not by blood but by LOVE JUST WISH MORE MEN HAD COURAGE TO SAY "I WILL"
Being raised in a Christian home i knew The Lord, raised my 4 kids to know the Lord, unfortunately my husband died when they were young so i was mom and dad. They grew to be truck driver, nurse, cop and my handicapped son is a facebook pursuer of Gods Word, telling everyone. God Bless the Women taking on two roles,... I WILL...
Personally, I love this movie. It speaks so much to not only me, but many many more. This scene always gets to me, even gives me goosebumps. I feel every father should see this movie, it shows true meaning. This speech is everything that a father needs to hear, this is one of the greatest speeches I've heard.
You can watch it for free on IMDB with ads. Look it up. Imdb TV has other movies too. Also, if you look up the movie (or any IMDB TV movie) with prime video it will be free to watch with ads, since Amazon owns IMDB. IMDB used to just be a movie website but now they have what's called IMDB TV. Enjoy!
I didn't see the movie all the way through, but its good after watching clips. I'm not even a Christian but watching Touched by an Angel almost everyday has made me my own Christian and still support those who are judge by those who abused the bible. There are some children that grew up without fathers and not end up on the wrong road. But the main character is right that fathers need to be there for their children even if they're not married to the mother or not, and mothers sacrifice alot so they won't stray and make the same mistakes, which every fatherless child fears they would make the same mistake. The ones that didn't stray were lucky because there were father figures in the form of grandfathers, uncles, godfathers, mentors, teachers, neighbors, and the fathers of your friends. To those who ended up on the wrong road its hard to get off but you should know that one father will not leave you is God even if you believe in his existence or not. God is a judge who loves his children for who they are and who they are with. He can help if you let him in. Let God be your father and your friend, let God heal your anger, and let God change your heart 👨👧👦🙏🕊️
Since men went off to war in World War 1 & 2 women had to step up and take on the role of both genders. This has been for almost 100 years now. There is so much work to do in America. Not everyone can do this!
That part will always bring tears up my eyes. This movie has motivated me to sign the Resolution and become a godly father. (I also recommend a book. The resolution for men)
Please pray for my home country South Africa. As a SA woman, I'm more likely to die from the hands of a man than from any other disease. It's a shocking statistic. Our president is silent. Please pray for all men in my country, we need it.
I swear as a man of God I will be a father to my children. I love my wife and she is a wonderful mother but there is no substitute for a man being a father to his children.
Whenever seeing this scene, I stand and say, "I WILL!!!" The last 35+ years of my life, ever since joining the staff of Youth for Christ/USA in 1985, that's been my calling!!! It's good to be challenged again!!!
We can not be consumed by our children’s faults. We need to love them enough through our modelling of Christ . They are drawn to Him by our unconditional love
It's not always easy to be a father. Many times you have to do things you don't want to do, like work a job you don't want to do just to pay the bills. It's hard but you do it cause you love your kids. We have a generation of men who need to understand that, as a man, you do what you have to do to make ends meet. Lots of men don't take care of business cause they might have to work jobs they don't like. Look guys, it's called the real world and a man does whatever it takes to get the job done, regardless of how you feel. Grow up and take responsibility for your kids. They need you to provide a good example of what it means to be a man. Stop your whining and get it done. Stop your complaining and get it done. Life will never be perfect so get over it and do what you gotta do to be a man.
