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
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
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 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.
"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!"
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.
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 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.
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...
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 have always prayed that my future husband would be all these things. That he would be a God-fearing man and would do anything to protect his children and wife. And now I’m a newly married and my husband is God-fearing and fiercely protective. He is everything I need in a husband and a pillar. Is he perfect? No but he does his best.
@@rememberpratik727 I know I’m not perfect, but I am trying, and he knows that, I hope to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I am helping him with his problems and he is helping me with mine,
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
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!!
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.
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.
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 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.
In 2022, where are you men of couarage? I write this humbly, as a man who has strived to be Christ like. Yes , I have fallen short. Yet, I still strive. For my family, for my neighbors, for the young men I work with. It is now more than ever, important, that our young men step up and lead. But they need examples, Men of faith. God bless
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.
I just listen to the speech again I’ve seen the movie multiple times as a father, which is a high, calling to raise my children to follow God and Jesus Christ and this evil generation, and pray that by gods grace, I can lead them into the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and a stand for him Amen and amen.
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.
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!!
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.
"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.
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!
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.
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"
I love this movie. My brother and I are very blessed and proud that our daddy is a Christian man. Taking us to church, being a Godly man and teaching us about God is the best gift that he could ever give us.
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.
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 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 👨👧👦🙏🕊️
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
This is from a friend who sale this movie, i feel inadequate my wife is the bread winner of the house and I stay home and keep it clean. I feel inadequate because as my wife brings home the paycheck I'm at home with my kids and every day I hear the whispers behind my back calling me a deadbeat a bad influence of what a father and man should be. It's hard because I try to teach my children to lead godly life yet I feel like I am a hypocrite in this. I support my wife in her pursuits but at times I feel like I hold her back. Seeing this movie which opted me to keep trying also shows that I am not what a father should be in their perspective. I ask you am I truly being a true father in gods eyes if I'm the stay at home father? My best friend who is a house husband/stay at home father.
What do you think your heavenly Father would say? If you and your wife are in agreement with the arrangement and you've prayed together asking Him to guide you in it and you have peace it makes no difference what others think. Only His opinion matters. That doesn't mean you don't pursue your God-given purpose while you are doing it. That could be a part-time job, ministry, etc. It's not a weakness, it's actually a strength. If you are able to walk in that despite the judgement of others and have His peace in the midst who do you think is farther along in their Christian walk? Them or you?
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.
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)
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 just watched this movie and it was really good. My first son will be born next week, may 5 2023. I will ask for prayers that I constantly choose the Lord. I want my son to be firm in Christ and I struggle with cussing, lust and anger. I don’t want those destructive patterns for my baby boy, all I want for him is Christ. Please pray for me and my family. For me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I can only do my best
@iwishtobetexan6060 he's a goofball, he has learned to pretend to choke so his mama gets worried and laughs at her reaction. He'll be 11 months soon. Also he loves cats, he will sit and laugh until he can't breathe whenever he sees one 😂 thank you for asking
@@kristian_johnson87 that's just cute and adorable man. I'm glad y'all are doing well. I'll be praying for y'all from Texas. I don't have any kids but I have noticed the best leaders and coolest people in my life lived by example, whether others followed or not. That's my plan, but then again, kids are kids and I've only seen a few listen haha. Stay strong with God, glad to know I got another brother out there somewhere
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!!!
🙏“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 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.
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!
In my case is different but also painful. My dad showed his real personality some months ago. He left the family and started a new relationship with a 24 year old woman (who has the same age as my sister). He is almost 60 years old and had a beautiful marriage of 32 years. He is now cold to me, to my sister and to my mom. He is not the father that he used to be. I don't recognize him anymore......
+Mel Anie i don't know all that you go through, but while yes, what he did was wrong, i pray you find it in your heart to forgive him. for if not for those who don't deserve it, who then is forgiveness for? God bless
As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live in (John paul II) this is one of the best speeches ever in regards to the role of a father and the character of a Godly man every teacher and every father should use this speech to teach young males about the role that is expected from them when they grow up one thing is to be a man, another to be a Godly gentleman...
This could be my father. Raised by a mother who worked hard to provide him & his sisters with Godly men when their fahter(my grandfather) wasn't what they needed. In turn my father treid to be there for other young people who needed a mentor & also as a teacher his students could look up to and come to for help & advice.

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.
This is soooo beautiful to me because tis about time for rhe real men and faters to stand up
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 so love the Kendrick brothers films…so inspiring
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.
The most touching and powerful message. It touched mine and my husband's heart, Thank you and God bless you,
Made me tear up and Cry....My Son lost his daddy when he was just 3.....
In 2022, where are you men of couarage? I write this humbly, as a man who has strived to be Christ like. Yes , I have fallen short. Yet, I still strive. For my family, for my neighbors, for the young men I work with. It is now more than ever, important, that our young men step up and lead. But they need examples, Men of faith. God bless
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.
My condolences for your grandmothers passing.
i never stop watching this film. I am lucky to be a dad.
I just listen to the speech again I’ve seen the movie multiple times as a father, which is a high, calling to raise my children to follow God and Jesus Christ and this evil generation, and pray that by gods grace, I can lead them into the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and a stand for him Amen and amen.
I remember when I watched this for the first time. I had NEVER cried so much in my life.
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.
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!!
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.
Best speech EVER!! Just love this movie!!
This scene is so powerful and so moving and stirs the heart! Praise God and all who made this movie possible!
❤❤❤❤❤ 🤗🤗😂
I LOVE this movie!!! This speech is one of the best ones I've ever heard!! I almost started crying towards the end.
BEST MOVIE EVER; I ALWAYS CRY AT THE END!
And also Navy Seal Rear Admiral McRaven speech
"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.
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!
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.
I am not a particularly religious person, nor am I an athiest, but I do love this film.
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"
I love this movie. My brother and I are very blessed and proud that our daddy is a Christian man. Taking us to church, being a Godly man and teaching us about God is the best gift that he could ever give us.
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.
After facing the giants this actor always has my open mind to his roles such a good actor/man hope he gets big soon
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 pray that the lord will bless my 4 children and I with a man of courage this year amen
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 👨👧👦🙏🕊️
I have seen all the Kendrick brothers movies and love them, especially Fireproof and War Room.
Have you seen overcomer
@@matthewballon9948 Overcomer is the best of them all!
Cried watching this....brilliant movie👏
This brings me to tears every time I watch. Movie or just this clip.
Such a tearjerker. Extremely inspiring.
3:14 made me cry I'll admit it
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
This is from a friend who sale this movie, i feel inadequate my wife is the bread winner of the house and I stay home and keep it clean. I feel inadequate because as my wife brings home the paycheck I'm at home with my kids and every day I hear the whispers behind my back calling me a deadbeat a bad influence of what a father and man should be. It's hard because I try to teach my children to lead godly life yet I feel like I am a hypocrite in this. I support my wife in her pursuits but at times I feel like I hold her back. Seeing this movie which opted me to keep trying also shows that I am not what a father should be in their perspective. I ask you am I truly being a true father in gods eyes if I'm the stay at home father?
My best friend who is a house husband/stay at home father.
What do you think your heavenly Father would say? If you and your wife are in agreement with the arrangement and you've prayed together asking Him to guide you in it and you have peace it makes no difference what others think. Only His opinion matters. That doesn't mean you don't pursue your God-given purpose while you are doing it. That could be a part-time job, ministry, etc.
It's not a weakness, it's actually a strength. If you are able to walk in that despite the judgement of others and have His peace in the midst who do you think is farther along in their Christian walk? Them or you?
@@ncd7184 yeah thanks it was for a friend of mine.
@@benolr64 well please forward to them if desired
@@ncd7184 sure.
So sweet it makes me cry. It's true today as it has always been, a mother and a father are needed in a child's life
The world needs to hear this the most right now.
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.
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)
Should be played to all the world to all the fathers!!!
Brad Smith should be part of exucation
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 just watched this movie and it was really good. My first son will be born next week, may 5 2023. I will ask for prayers that I constantly choose the Lord. I want my son to be firm in Christ and I struggle with cussing, lust and anger. I don’t want those destructive patterns for my baby boy, all I want for him is Christ. Please pray for me and my family. For me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I can only do my best
How is your son?
@iwishtobetexan6060 he's a goofball, he has learned to pretend to choke so his mama gets worried and laughs at her reaction. He'll be 11 months soon. Also he loves cats, he will sit and laugh until he can't breathe whenever he sees one 😂 thank you for asking
@@kristian_johnson87 that's just cute and adorable man. I'm glad y'all are doing well. I'll be praying for y'all from Texas. I don't have any kids but I have noticed the best leaders and coolest people in my life lived by example, whether others followed or not. That's my plan, but then again, kids are kids and I've only seen a few listen haha. Stay strong with God, glad to know I got another brother out there somewhere
@@iwishtobetexan6060 thanks man I'll be praying for you too. It's good to know people are praying and asking God about each other
In JESUS NAME I WILL BE THAT FATHER. I WILL.
One of the most powerful message..regards from my family here in the Philippines
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!!!
As a father myself I want to encourage all fathers to stay focused on your purpose regardless of circumstances or opinions of others. Keep the faith.
🙏“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 "
May your daughter's soul rest in peace, my confidence. God bless you am encouraged, resuscitated and ready to say, I Will, I Will, I Will... Thank you
Every man Should see this movie
Great speech it encouraged me!!
Help me pray for my children there fathers choose the world over God.
I love this movie so much
This is the best speech for dad's
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.
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!
I cry every time I watch it. It's very touching! 😭
this made me cry my father left on my first birthday
Christopher Unger-Barr sorry to hear about your father. just remember that you still have your eternal Father in heaven.
God bless you
Also remember that YOU can be in someone else's life that which was missing from your own. It's a way to heal.
In my case is different but also painful. My dad showed his real personality some months ago. He left the family and started a new relationship with a 24 year old woman (who has the same age as my sister). He is almost 60 years old and had a beautiful marriage of 32 years. He is now cold to me, to my sister and to my mom. He is not the father that he used to be. I don't recognize him anymore......
+Mel Anie i don't know all that you go through, but while yes, what he did was wrong, i pray you find it in your heart to forgive him. for if not for those who don't deserve it, who then is forgiveness for? God bless
+Mel Anie I'm so sorry.
As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live in (John paul II)
this is one of the best speeches ever in regards to the role of a father and the character of a Godly man
every teacher and every father should use this speech to teach young males about the role that is expected from them when they grow up
one thing is to be a man, another to be a Godly gentleman...
You guys are not alone in living for Christ. WE WILL
I hope to share this with my kids...hopefully they will listen..🙏
This could be my father. Raised by a mother who worked hard to provide him & his sisters with Godly men when their fahter(my grandfather) wasn't what they needed. In turn my father treid to be there for other young people who needed a mentor & also as a teacher his students could look up to and come to for help & advice.
So powerful. Love this
I Have this movie and watch it often. And each time, I cry.
I always tell someone to watch this movie!
Powerful !! Thank you
one of the best movies i have ever seen
It was my dad my mom and my brother I'm giving this speech as a mother holding both roles and head of household
