Marriage Is for Making Children...Disciples of Jesus, Part 2
A Father’s Conquest of Anger in Himself and in His Children

The key to fathering is the cross. There the heavenly Father’s anger is appeased, and there an earthly father finds the strength to overcome both his own anger and his children’s.

  • Listen to John Piper encourage fathers to open their hearts to their children. 
  • Watch him talk about how the gospel kills anger.
