22 Pieces of Advice From A Wise Dad

Andrew has been a pastor for 45 years. He was a Marxist atheist before that. I asked him everything. In this episode, I sit down with my dad for the first time on camera. You'll hear what every father should teach his son about being a man, why the phone is death to family, how to not be an angry father, what it actually means to know God versus knowing about God, the night he went from Marxist atheist to believer at 3:44 a.m., what 150 funerals taught him about how people die, why regrets are always relational and never about accomplishments, and what he wants people to say about him when he's gone. This is the conversation I've been wanting to have on record for a long time.
