HOME: Responsibility as a Value

In this week's episode, Steven Manuel and Mark Parrett discuss the need of obedience at home. Assuming fathers are in submission to God, how do they train their children to obey as well? And... how important is that, anyway? Isn't obedience training swimming upstream of culture, pop psychology, and just about every modern notion?
