James Lankford: “There is no influence that's a bigger influence on a child…”

“I'm a former youth pastor, and I would have parents that came up to me all the time and say, you're such an influence on my child for teaching and role model and all those things, I would say, that's very kind, but There is no influence that's a bigger influence on a child than their mom and dad. The path of their life will be set by their mom or dad. So dad should not think it's somebody else's responsibility. It's theirs.” (07:10–07:16)
