Three Dogs North

S11 Episode 60- Formed by the Father


Listen Later

In this episode, the dogs discuss meekness (6:14) and the positive masculine virtues (2:45). Rob gives some historical context (6:14), Mike dodges deciding whether his dad is meek (9:11), and Connor shares a time when he’s seen men misuse their masculinity to diminish others (13:45). Lastly, they look to the saints (17:36) to better understand what it means to be formed by the Father’s love (26:50).

Quotes:

“I would have caused World War III. 100%.” (Mike, 23:00)
