- This email broke my heart. Then, it moved me to make change. This is my reaction to a 70 year old Father wondering how to talk to his 40 year old sons. Also, if you want more Dad to Son encouragement check out my mentor’s free training videos: bit.ly/StevesVideos

Justin, as I was watching this I was thinking about my own sons. I spent 20yrs active duty in the military so I was gone a lot. Last July I lost my oldest son suddenly and I wish to God there was a way I could have spent more time with him when he was younger.
We all love your videos and I know I’ve learned a ton from watching them but if you have to skip a few days of editing to spend more fun time with the boys do it. We’ll still be here waiting. Your family is more important than anything else in the world.
I heard you say your farm first and foremost raises Childers ! Never forget that! Your most precious crop are your children.
Seriously think you're on the right road to having no regrets with your kids. I love that you're not pushing YOUR IDEA of fun on them.
Always make time.e for your children. Nothing in life is more important. Nothing....
WOW that really hit home except I'm 61 and my father is 85. It's been tough. Never through me a baseball and STILL ( even when driving him to the hospital last week) the worst backseat driver there ever was. Back in the day would have done ANYTHING to have a relationship like you have with your kids Sir. Thanks for sharing.
OK ... you made me cry. This was so heartwarming. You have the hardest working kids on the planet. It seems like they rarely ask for things. You did good, dad! They deserved to get these kayaks. They deserved to have you go with them to pick them out and get all the gear necessary. They will remember this for the rest of their lives. And no, I don't think you or Rebekah will ever have a problem talking with ANY of your kids down the road. You already have the lines of communication WIDE open. Love it!
Showing your children how to b a great father, is your job, love. Showing your daughter how she should b treated. When she started dating, she will b looking for her father in this guy. Love and respect, is what makes the difference. Your sons will b learning to to treat a future wife also.
Justin, you are a wise man and good father..You won't have any regrets regarding the time you have invested in growing good men👍👍
Justin keep being a example for other fathers . Family is always first. Stay bless my friend
I don’t comment very often on public media. I have been a fan of this vlog because you spend quality time with your family. You are a great communicator when it comes to projects and activities. I believe you have even learned a few things from your kids. They are very intelligent. I’m not an expert on communicating and talking to children, but I know how important it is. You have a lifestyle that dictates help from the family. It is a unique partnership. We bring our children up to be responsible adults. They know how to be kids. We need to let them be kids. I have a son that loved all things outdoors as a child and young teenager. He developed other interests as he got older. He is now 20 and going in the Army National Guard. I still spend every minute with him that I can. Sometimes just a 5 minute talk is all it takes. I don’t have some of the same interests that he does, but I know I need to listen to him talk about things that he is passionate about. I lost my Dad to cancer when I was 20. I know the importance of talking with your kids. I talked to my Dad every day he was on Earth. You do a great job. Don’t let your lifestyle be your only communication. God bless
Well done Pops! I love watching the natural grace of the two older boys and the developing dogged determination of Mr. Brown to keep up while being his own man.🎣
Justin, you’re awesome but stop making me cry. Lol
Your boys may look at the chores in the farm as any other chore, they may not know that you are teaching them the real values in life, but later in life they will be so thankful for that. keep up the good work. All your subscribers including me are very proud of your boys.
Wow 😲 Justin, you’re a good man, father, husband, son, brother! Thanks for making my day better simply by watching your family life unfold. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I'm so glad you took the time to address this. You're a very good example for younger Fathers.
This is why we homestead and homeschool. Our boys are all adopted and they are brilliant, vibrant, amazing beings, but they had a rough start. They need us to be there for them as much as possible. We made the choice to live this lifestyle for them. To ensure they will be the best people they can be and we will have a lifetime connection with them, despite their difficult beginning in life. It isn't easy at times, we struggle and sacrifice, but it is worth it to give them a life full of love. Your family rocks!
Such a raw video, thank you for sharing. As a kid who never had a father, this hit me hard.
Justin not only are you chicken Guru you are a great man and I appreciate watching you in your positiveness y'all have a good day
Your boys will never forget this. Awesome dad
Brother, having grown up with a father that had no time I can assure you, being that I’m 72, that you will never ever regret it and you will have such wonderful memories when you’re 72.
Look into some outriggers for the kayak. I have them for my aluminum canoe for fishing and they really stabilize it for 2 people or 1 person standing up. RUclips some custom fishing kayak videos for some ideas. Great to see the younger generations getting out there fishing!
You are an unbelievable father!
Dude you would be lost without those boys, they are amazing I have 2 they are grown however I did spend lots of time with them we were a sports family and we still give giant bear hugs when we see each other and always a I LOVE YOU. TIME DOESN'T STAND STILL don't lose your opportunities.
You're doing a fantastic job Papa. Keep it up. Take care.
Well done justin and the beautiful one great parenting your children are wonderful
One of the reasons I like to watch your video's is because of the interaction you have with your children. I love the way you talk to them with respect and listen to them and they do the same. Unfortunately that is very rare these days. I often brag about your children to my husband.
Way to go Papa!
You rock! 👍❤️🦊
Cheers I’m a mom/dad to three sons. I don’t regret putting them first as children. Now I’m homesteading with one of them💚🌲 take time for fun
Your a great Dad Justin. Being with the kids and making time with them, listening and having conversation with them and most of all discussing issues and not yelling or belittling them and lastly lots of cuddles , you are sure to make the best dad in the world. I see all this taking place already, lucky kiddies and lucky world. Add a beautiful soft caring mum, you have a wonderful family. Take care xxxxx
Justin you are a Great father and have a goods kids 💗☺
You will ALWAYS be glad for those moments with your boys! I can tell you your boys will never be as little as they are today again. Whether it's Mr. Brown being able to jump into your arms and still wanting to be your helper, to the amazing young men the older two boys have become. And I say that as a mama with a college age son. You said yourself in a previous video that those kids are the job, and that's oh so true. Jonah will be driving before you know it. I'm so glad that gentleman reached out to you. It's never too late. I pray God blesses him with reconciliation, peace, and joy within his own family.
You inspire me to be a better Father
Another impactful video. God bless the Rhodes family!
Great video Justin! Amazing boys you've got there. Please get video of them fishing in their new kayaks! My son is 6 and loves fishing too.
I want to thank my parents for the life they continue to give me. Love you guys!
It’s never too late to speak from the heart
That's good mr. Justin you have passing time with your kids I did not have the chance in my lifetime to pass time with my kids cuz I was a busy working man to support my family but right now I enjoy my son that's 23 years old and my daughter that's 25
Your so lucky to have 3 wonderful boys. What a gift.
It's never too late!!
My first impression when I found your channel was what a great father you are. You respect your children’s ideas and opinions. You’re teaching them so much and they are involved fully! What a great family!!! Thanks for sharing them with us.
This litraly hit home for me, I have 3 children and 2 step children both other parents do not see them, it's been such a roller coaster ride, for all of us, my 2 step sons know I have there back and I've never left, but then ask me if you can do it why can't my mum, my kids do the same to my partner too, it's so sad but we come together to show where they fall I will always pick them up, they help me in so much every day, emotionally mentally the lot also with our 5 hens every day, we got because of you thanx lol then our 2 mental dogs massive fish plus crickets, it's so worth being in someone's life then not being, my life is absolute madness but I wouldn't change it for the world xx
Man, this brought me to tears. Being a parent is the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done. Continuing to grow as a person and parent is very important. We have to work at being the best parent, and keep the lines of communication open is a must.
Good job! And I've discovered, after my daughters got into something I didn't get, once they dragged me into it, I enjoy it, too! Gives us more to talk about than 'when I was a girl'...
When I was in the tenth grade I was working two jobs and going to school. My father was disabled with cancer. I had to work or not eat and boy could I eat. (4 to 5 meals per day) I would sometimes wake up late at night (11pm to 3am hungry)
But if I had extra money very seldom and wanted to buy something I didn't ask I just got it.
One of the best things I like about your channel is that you show your thought process of farming and parenting. Bringing our children joy is such a great gift you get to give to them and ourselves.
I would love to see your boys on the water and catching fish what a great way to spend your time!
This video really touched me , i pray that your children love you 100 time the amount of love and care you give them .. Love from India
Really enjoyed this video. I feel so blessed when at age 60 my 40 year old daughter or 28 year old son calls me because they need some dad time. Like any other endeavor the time spent early with pay back double later. You guys are doing a great job with your kiddoes.
Wow what a great reward! Have fun boys!
Youve given me a lot to think about here Justin, thank you.
One of the best videos i saw this month
Wow Justin you sound like my wonderful Dad God Bless
Great video Justin. I once heard a wise father suggest taking his daughter on dates once a month (ice-cream, movie, etc.) so as she is able to understand how good men should treat her. Often I believe girls grow up not knowing what to expect, and this can leave them vulnerable and compromised early in their life.
My son lost his dad to death when he was married for a few months. HE had those growing up years with him, and he misses him so much. So glad you are speaking to this. Important to teach young men to be men. I think you do a good job of this with your boys. My son is like you he is a good father! Proud of both of you.
You are setting such a great example, both for your children and for other parents out there. No one can make as meaningful of a difference in the world as a great parent.
It ain't just homesteadinglessons! Thank you Justin :) Keep up the good work. God bless you!
I love these sentimental video. Your boys are so sweet.
You're such a great dad, Justin. Your kids are lucky to have such a wonderful father! And those kids...wow, you hit the jackpot with them. They're so hardworking, especially Jonah, but even Josiah is showing more interest in the farm...or maybe he already was but it's getting on film more than it did before. I don't know which but great job!
Your an awesome father Justin! 👍thank you
😭😭 for the man that is trying to learn to talk to his boys!! This is Dad in some ways but so exciting to hear he wantsa better relationship! It is not too late..... Never to late!! It may be more challenging but never to late to try and be a better parent!!(suggestion.... Counseling cause we all have stuff that cause is to be who we are and humility(to admit the wrongs) and patience(because it work to repair the breaches) to turn it around. What a great thing)😂😂🤗🤗 these are for you (Justin),being a great example to men(of all ages)and willing to share your wisdom. This is so beautiful! ♥️ May you both be blessed richly for your tender heard!! Also, those are some happy boys!
Great job Dad!!!
Great Dad!!! 👍👍👍😎
My Grandmother always said that our most important investment in our lives were our children. She said we could teach them about Yeshua and heaven and see them there, but we could not take our riches or possessions. Your love and time invested in their lives, would come back to you seven fold in your old age. I am living this right now!!! At my old age my children are with me all the time and off and on, my grand kids come to stay and visit. Now I am a GREAT grandmama, two beautiful great grand daughters. I am surrounded by love. They were and still are my most important investments in life. I DID NOT have this in my life from my own parents.....Grandma was the one who invested in me. My step Dad and his wife invested in me! My step Mom and her husband invested in me. But not my blood parents. Knowing how this felt, I threw myself into my three children, they were my life, and boy did we have fun! GOD continues to bless you Justin, serve your family, do all for your family, continue to invest in them. Love from Texas.
So good, this is one of your best videos.
He should start a fishing and kayaking Chanel
You are awesome I love your channel
Good job dad. And I'm envious I wish my dad took time away like this. He worked himself to death but failed to give some of himself to his family. My dad passed away 4 years ago and I still mourn this void.
I love this video thank you for this
That's really touching. Love ur work love ur family God blessed you.
I really don’t think you have to worry about being a great father, I think your amazing you alway put your children first!!!!!
Happy Father's Day
I love this! I love that they wanted something outdoors and not a stupid game system or phone or some other electronic! Can't wait to see upcoming videos of their fun! Way to go dad! (And mom too!)
What a sweet son ❤️
If you make time for them today then they will make time for you tomorrow.
It is easier to raise boys than to repair men.
Justin: "Are you boys excited?"
Heck, I'm excited for them.
(Gonna say it again, great hair boys) I"m growing mine out against the rules in anticipation for my up coming retirement.
thanks men!, i learn a lot from you!. not just how to take care in plants and chickens also as to become a good person a good husband and a good father.
I've been watching your video since month ago when i start planting vegi in my plantbox and after a week i subscribe and cant stop watching your old and new videos.
God bless your family justin!
you have a great family. and as additional from my thoughts above I learn from all of the members of your family!.
These times as a young parent is the time to establish parental relationships. Good job in rising to this challenge for every parent. Retired educator and mother of three adults daughters. We enjoy a rich adult relationship that was started when they were babies. It works!!!
Awesome... Love to See more Like this.....
Great kayaks, we have the same model. You just reminded me to take some time and quit talking about going kayaking and "just go".
Your boys are amazing helpers! Much deserved! I have a 5 year old and I strive to raise him the way you raise your boys!
You are a great father, always have been
So many people who feel they cant talk to other family or friends because it's been too long. It's really sad.
good day to you Justin & Family !! thanks for sharing your awesome update and adventures on and off the homestead !! 🏡🎥👍✝
Hits close to home. Great and thanks
Very insightful, I feel like this just changed how I look at my girls. Thank you. Newly subscribed
