Quotes from Episode 23
"The communication habits that are happening in your home today are going to impact the communication of all of your children’s relationships in their future."
"As a parent, the condition of my heart determines the words I say & the tone with which I say things, which affects my relationships with my kids and affects literally the atmosphere of our home. We are the atmosphere setters in our family’s life... In our own strength we can maintain a good atmosphere for a little while but when my  heart is anemic for the spiritual nourishment I need from my Creator, Provider, Counselor, and Guide, I simply can’t keep up that positive atmosphere in my own strength for very long.  The atmosphere of our heart is dependent on filling from the Father."
