This was one of the most powerful message, all fathers should see. Fight to water the seed you planted, You went through that much to plant the seed you gotta water it and see it grow and prepare land for your seed.
"If you don't provide for your own, you are worst than an unbeliever" 1 Tim 5:8 This episode is based off the scripture above that i live my life by. Huge blessing to hear this!

I wish this message was given to my father. 26 married years later it's still mind boggling when you have to figure out how to love your husband unconditionally when you never received it from your father. But God!
I had my father in the home but he wasn't present, to the point I believe I would have been better off if he had just stayed away. He was like see me but you can't have me. He was physically around but only served a selfish disciplinary role.
"Your future is in your child" That hits different, lord give me the strength and consistency to pour life into my child in everything aspect of their life.
Wow, I am speechless. What a podcast. This is exactly why I tune and watch these. As a father, and fiance I always want to learn and continue to be the best.
Hands down the best podcast episode! Our culture NEEDS to hear this. I was in the car crying coming home from work listening to this. I intend to right the wrongs that my parents did to me and my siblings and do better for mine. Thank you guys so much for being the examples we need to see in our culture. God bless.
50:27 is when I chuckled and had to rewind when he touched on grown men living with daddy issues. I turned 42 this past February and in April after I finally forgave my stepfather. A discussion with my counselor planted the seed of forgiveness. I chuckled because I know what that "weight" feels like and what it feels like to forgive and heal when one drops that "weight". It's a feeling like no other... it's wonderful...it's freeing! Others may still be living with daddy or stepdaddy issues. It's ok but please seek proper counseling to live life to its fullest and get your mental health in check. Don't live in the shadows of someone else's wrong doing of you. You (we) have a choice and decision on how our (your) life plays out.
In all honesty, ET is the only man I looked up to and who has been the only father figure in my life. I don’t know who I would be if I never watched his speeches and lessons.
I don't have kids yet and don't have major issues with my dad but this really hit different for me knowing that I always want to be there for the child/children I will have in the future
I believe this is the best podcast I have heard to date .I have been blessed to come up with both my parents married and 28 years later still together and in my life . Some have not been so fortunate and I believe It is time that the men man up and look after their seed. Don’t leave that for anyone else to do . The future generations are waiting on you. This was fire 🔥.
Transparency: I feel all of this. I'm 35, I don't have children nor married. That's my goal though. However, I have been active in my early 20s - 30s in a light way. I have felt that concern, any activity can lead to a child. I thank God for active counsel and company who encourage me to live and build for my future, don't rush grown up activities: dating, mating. In due time, my wholeness will meet a woman's wholeness and we can build the right way: dating, marriage, building that marriage, children, building up the children, legacy building...
Just came across this channel today. Saying I was blessed by this conversation feels like an understatement. Our father left us (my two brothers and I) the day we buried our mother. We were very young, under 10 years of age. We were left under the care of our grandmother. Twenty something years later, we are yet to see him. Growing up I never used to talk about him or my mom's death because I was ashamed and thought may be it was our fault. I made many mistakes as a young woman and always got attracted to older men whom I thought would love me like a father. Thank God for HIS Mercies. I came to know the LORD JESUS and got born-again at the age of 29. The LORD helped me to forgive my Father. As I prepare for marriage and trying to learn more about a good husband I am thankful for guys like you who are not only helping men out there but also girls who grew up without father-figures. ( My grandmother who was caring for us was also a single woman). God Bless you guys and increase His anointing on you, In Jesus Name. Much love from Nairobi, Kenya.
This episode is FIRE, hit deep. I am one of these children who didn't have a father around and by the grace of God I found my way but their was a few twists and turns on the road. Thanks for content and for ALWAYS keeping it 100 and spreading the messages that people need to hear.
CJ, Sweetpea got you, on a precious and loving note! Bless you + your wife for breathing love into your children!! But, she got you!! Lol Thank God you are her first male relationship!! Bless y'all!!✝️💜🎵
I understand exactly where ET was coming from in the clip. I also do not feel people should stay together for the kids because that can be just as traumatic for children because of the toxic environment, especially if one of the parents become abusive. In this day in age, there are biological mothers and fathers killing their own kids. I believe one should put the children first and do what is best for them. If walking away from a toxic, and potentially dangerous, situation is what is best, then do that. I always enjoy hearing you brothas speak; keep giving us great content.
This one hit so HARD for me because I been out of my kids life for so long. Because I was so scared I feel like I failed them for so long.from my life falling apart. I got cold feet every attempt
These babies don't see failures, they just don't see dad and don't know why and it impacts their mental, emotional and physical.... please give them all of you...
Wow this episode is easily top 3. Wow‼️ All praises Abba Ahayah. Thank you ET! PS. Phone camera can't compare to a real full frame mirror less camera. Or a real photographer minus the equipment. Most of the time it's about the shooter not the equipment.
🔥! NOTHING should separate a father from being with his family in one married and prepared household. Children deserve both parents being ALL IN! Parenting is for life (and continues after death...inheritance).
EVEN if your child is an adult!!!!! FIX IT! Unfortunately the problem is that many of these men are too proud to fight for their children if they messed up. In a conversation with my dad (who was very present) 2 weeks ago, he said it was too late for my young adult children’s father to repair his damage. I said “Dad- it’s never too late.” But they have to expect some resistance, and that shouldn’t be an excuse to stop making the effort 🎤
IT'S SIX IN THE MORNING HERE, BLESSINGS ALWAYS, THIS WAS AMAZING, SO NEEDED FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TO HEAR, MEN STAND AND TAKE UP YOUR CROSS, LEAD YOUR CHILDREN TO BECOME THE BEST VISION OF WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR THEM!!!! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, GREATNESS
This was a great podcast. You guys are changing the world. Our culture as men places so much value on how much money we make, luxury cars, and houses. There's nothing more valuable than being a father. Its our most important job. Nothing feels better than being the best father you can, and nothing feels worse than not doing good by your child. This was fire 🔥 🔥
Thank you guys. I saw the clip earlier in the week and was saddened by all the push back and ‘excuses’ in the comments. The way you doubled down on the message today with such conviction….no words 🔥 🔥 🔥 🙌🏼
this really hit home, I am dealing with so many issues due to my dad choosing not to fight to be an influence in my life. just like ET said, the child never goes mommy and daddy are having issues between each other thats why daddy is not here. they go it must be me, am I the problem? i hated who i was and felt as if i was the problem. thats why I refuse to to do the same to my daughter.
Ouch! Er’body not saying, “Amen!”, it’s not even that you may have a bad relationship w/your kid(s) or their provider. It’s the fact that it can be better.
Make sure that you don't miss the message. If you are in a toxic, abusive, manipulative, narcissistic relationship, you absolutely should leave that situation. Just don't leave your child! It would not be healthy for your child to experience that and think that its normal. As Josh said in a earlier podcast, "I want them to have a childhood that they don't have to recover from." Keep fighting and be in your child's life no matter what. It's going to be hard.the system is against you. Your baby mama may be controlling and trying keep them from you but don't give up. You have to work extra hard to be that father figure that they deserve. Also remember you aren't fighting against the other parent. You are fighting for your kid. This is coming from a person who has spent the last 3 years fighting and tens of thousands of dollars fighting. If anyone is going through something similar, please reach out. I'm here to listen and can give you advice
Too many want the “right” to have sex freely but don’t factor in the “responsibility” that comes along with it. Single parenthood should not be an aspiration. It should be what it is…a less than ideal situation you have to make the best of. The adults should value their future, which is their children. The disturbing narrative nowadays is screw men, they don’t matter. That idea hurts my soul and I pray there is a large movement within men to take their rightful place. Part of taking their place is for them to do the, “hard” work of improving themselves. We all need to do better for each other.
My baby girl is the youngest of my three kids and my only girl. She twenty. I never laid a hand on her. She told me when she was three that I could never spank her. Only time is came close to discipline is I told her she disappointed me once. She started crying...... I left the room and started crying too. After that I was done!
Like already I have not finished it but the smiles the light humor. The luv the message yup! god say check this out I was not gonna get on. But today was rough family I threw up again 2nd crowd now moor speaking is already being requested. You said do it for free so for now I do. The value I can add to their lives was shown.
