One of the greatest things that God has entrusted me with as a leader for this generation is how to love his sheep.

And I thank God for the amount of women that has came through this podcast.

And it has broken my heart to see so many women not know how to steward their relationship with the Lord as a daughter.

And it's something that's so shaky.

It breaks my heart how common it is.

And when I had that gathering...

In May at Redemption Church, there was a moment where we prayed over fatherlessness in our generation, and we actively mended the gap between the Gen X and millennial generation to Gen Z, and it was so powerful.

Pastor Ron and Pastor Hope laid hands on everybody.

I'm talking about like 2,000 people.

Everybody got their hands laid on before they left.

And it was so powerful to see spiritual fathers, men in the church, rise up and lay hands on people in the church.

and let them know that they're heard, loved, and seen by Jesus, and that they are not orphans, and we are in a generation to where not only do we have so many fathers that have even just relationally left the household, but there's not many spiritual men who are rising up and being fathers to an orphaned people, and speaking from somebody who deals with the tension of

I guess that lack of the fatherlessness and the lack of awareness of daughtership, it is one of the most pivotal, pivotal, pivotal, pivotal, pivotal concepts to our identity in Christ.

And when we don't understand that God is our first father, and if we stay incarcerated by an orphan spirit, we don't understand...

who, because we don't understand who we belong to, we won't know who we are.

And there's a big, big shaking and an identity crisis and people who just don't know that Jesus, that God is their father and Jesus has been sent to be the atonement for their sins.

And when, after I had gone to

redemption church I had a moment with the Lord where I was kind of sharing with him my frustrations of like well if I just had a if I had a healthy father figure in my life that you know whatever it may be if I had you know mentorship if I had that relationship if I had this then maybe I wouldn't have these problems that I'm having right now and I was almost like

And this is a real moment.

I was almost blaming God for this circumstance, the circumstances I was going through because he wouldn't give me a healthy father.
