Fatherhood: Learning from Our Mistakes

[@freshnewday]

I so relate to the things shared here, specifically the regret over past failures and desire to be a better parent. There is a time to apologize and to grieve our failures and sin, and there is a time to entrust what happened to God too. I thank God for the gift of awareness to recognize our flaws and for the gift from Him to tell our kids that we are deeply sorry for the times we harmed them. I recognize that my apologies do not restore the person harmed to the state they were in prior to my transgression. (If I break a plate, for example, I can say that I am sorry to the plate, and it is important to say that I am sorry, but I cannot fully restore what I broke.) In the midst of recognizing this, in my sorrow, I was encouraged to put my hope in God, the only restorer. Jesus saves to the uttermost. He not only will right the wrongs committed against me, but He will right the wrongs I committed against others. I believe that it blesses my children when I honestly point out when I am acting in deference to my flesh or soul versus when I am acting in dependence on Jesus. They truly can see the need for connection to Jesus, and it is my hope and greatest desire that they will set their attention on Him and learn to abide in Jesus in dependence on Him, apart from Whom, they can do nothing. He alone is our righteousness. He is the only One who is good, perfect in all His ways, and always trustworthy, without error, without sin. 1 John 1:5, Mark 10:18 I look forward to that day when the Lord finishes the good work that He started, then I will be completely free from the grief of my harmfulness. Having this hope fills me with gratitude and moves me to love Him more.

I'm probably the only woman here but I'm learning so much from your videos (new subscriber here). 😊 I believe your videos are for all people. You are becoming a father figure to me, also showing me a role model of the type of man I would like to marry and build my legacy with. Thank you! I am also from Detroit which makes your messages extra sweet for me! Please keep doing the work you're doing. I've shared your videos with men in my life and they have been touched and inspired by your videos as well!

[@FredaPeeple]

You won't be the only woman here, I'm sure many men have probably sent this to their own daughters as I did mine. 🙏

[@theehardpill]

Nah, we're in attendance as well sis. 💯

[@MarcRain1]

Thank you for sharing. Being a father of two babies this was such an insightful listen to soak in.

[@Graciousgates]

This man is changing my life. I just turned 30 recently and I feel like I'm learning everything over again for the first time. It is beautiful

[@jessetimmmiller1870]

Mr. Jason, I appreciate you so much. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your truth and help us grow as fathers. As a father of two teens, I’m continually humbled as I attempt to love and guide my son and daughter, so often falling short of their needs and my expectations of myself. I then tend to condemn myself for my deficiencies. Thank you for your wise council and encouragement on the path. Many blessings! 🙏🙌

[@christopherweltmer4227]

I love you brother’s and sisters god bless you all and may you be fruitful

[@mio3677]

It took me many years to understand my father... "How can he give me something he never had!" I let go...

[@Simply.Shonta]

That’s not an excuse .. I give my kid what my parents didn’t give me all time…

[@mio3677]

@@Simply.Shonta it is not an excuse. I want to give my kids a healthy way of life. I understand my father, I don't accept it. I cut ties with my parents.

[@deonwaller9457]

This came to me on the very day that I needed to hear it! Thanks!

[@RedFireSonic]

I’m definitely glad I came across you from the radio. And I am a new father with a 2yr old son. I am afraid of my strict upbringing and military attitude may push him away one day. And I also suffer from anxiety and I am over protective. I’ve come to learn my struggles and even then I have trouble overcoming them because it’s because the norm

[@Daniel-nd1pg]

Love this. I have two young daughters, one 6 and one 3 1/2, this is the message the Father wanted me to hear tonight, Shalom Jason :)

[@mr.austin5112]

I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts about being the overbearing disciplinary in the household. that was a great reminder of Colossians 3:21 and what it means to truly be a loving father teaching our children with patience and love.

[@carmahfk7399]

Thank you Mr Jason Wilson. I love you brother. The encouragement God uses you for helps me so much as a Father and trying to become a better man overall. I'm (Male) going through a divorce from an abusive partner (Female actually) and my struggles from trying to stay strong and navigate raising my kids at the same time has been tough lately.

[@cedricmyree7440]

I definitely can understand……… I’m 50………my father was a Vietnam vet and he didn’t tolerate no BS…….I had my own bedroom by the time i was maybe 6 or 7 and my room was the go to room meaning……..my room had gun racks …my mattress had 16s and AKsss…….we had hard wood floors so anytime u walk u can hear it etc……….at a certain time no noise allowed……..so I had to walk on my as they say tippy toes lol……….BUT……..he taught me more than anybody that would say they gangster……..he was treating me like an adult and didn’t know it at that time……….NOW I have a daughter now and treat her with more hands on because I know she can hurt sumbody physically……….THE POINT IS ……I WAS RAISED AROUND ARTILLERY AND COMBAT ALL MY LIFE FROM MY FATHER BUT HE DIDNT SHOW NO EMOTIONS AT ANYTIME…..SO I HAVE TO HAVE BALANCE WITH MY DAUGHTER

[@markus4942]

Appreciate your words - even if I as a non native english speaking person dont understand all of the 10 minutes - the message ist clear. Thanks for that!

[@naychaavgpho735]

Shalom Shalom , fathers continuing to grow, not afraid to admit own up to the fault and correct it. 💪🏽

[@kintutucker2173]

Thanks for sharing. I have my moments as a Dad . Even though my daughter is grown. But all we have is now. So that’s all focus on. Everyday is a day to improve as a father.

[@hattiemccutcheon7863]

We are not taught how to be parents. It’s all a learning experience. We Are Not Perfect. We Must Forgive ourselves and others. I feel we must simply do what we want. If you are any live. Show it. If you want a relationship. Act like you hat it would look like to have it. Act like you already have it. Law of attraction. Do to th m the hat you want from them. I love you. ♥️

[@jdward45]

Be sure to call her and have the conversation personally as well. Thanks for the share brother. God be with you😇

[@froygutierrez3156]

Wow man, so incredible the way God created us. So deep. Strong yet delicate. Thank you brother Jason for the message❤

[@patrickbrown2769]

I definitely needed this Mr. Jason, powerful message.

[@theladyaries19]

Thank you, brother!

[@DarkGloComics]

Amen. I have like a failure for choosing women with a Jezebel Spirit starting with my children’s mother and then my ex-wife. Yah had to teach me that my boundaries were poor and it was my fault. Lions eat gazelle so I can’t blame them for doing what they are.

[@kayiverson5304]

Thank you sir.... Honestly I appreciate this

[@lewonjenkins2486]

Thank you for sharing bro I needed that

[@ClaudeMasseyConsulting]

Powerful Truth....

[@dariusbrooks4919]

Much appreciate it!!

[@ChiefBigFoot]

Thank you

[@CLBurrough]

Brother I am going through the same thing with my daughter and it's eating me alive

[@WeekendAtRennies]

Man☝🏾

[@erickhurtado8162]

How do you “discipline“ because I have that confusion for my son when he’s not listening or if he does something disrespectful

[@MRJACKBODY]

Thanks Bro..

[@ThePearlFamilyNetwork]

[@Longpipejang]

I hear and accept your message, but I do want to add as a father and husband it's a difference between you being in the wrong in the eyes of the Most High and you being wring in the eyes of your wife and/or children. They naturally lean to chaos, so its up to you as a man as a judge to determine and balance how empathic you are to your families earthly desires. You don't want to end up like Adam.
