Show Main Idea: A child’s earliest understanding of God the Father comes from their earthly fathers. The psychological term in early child development is mutual exclusivity, a child assigning one label to describe all items within the category. The culture understands the concept, but they don’t have the best answers. In this webinar, Rick talks about how many children initially map their experience with their fathers over how they think about God the Father. He speaks to the problem while providing practical training for us to parent well.
