Rodney:

  • Luke 1:37 (ESV) 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
  • John 14:27 (ESV) 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
  • John 14:27 (NLT) 27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

Johnny:

  • James 1:19-20 (TPT) My dearest brothers and sisters, take this to heart: Be quick to listen, but slow to speak. And be slow to become angry, for human anger is never a legitimate tool to promote God’s righteous purpose.
  • 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (GNT) The weapons we use in our fight are not the world’s weapons but God’s powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.

Ricky: 

  • 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (ESV) 13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.
  • Psalm 37:23-24 (ESV) 23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; 24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.

 

If you could give any advice to dads out there today, what would it be?

  • 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NLT) 13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.
