What does biblical fatherhood look like when the world tells you to abort? When your parents aren't believers? When you feel unqualified to raise godly children? Pastor Rob McCoy answers these questions with his powerful testimony of turning crisis into calling.

In this deeply moving conversation with Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Nate Brown, Pastor Rob shares his journey from college athlete and new believer to facing an unplanned pregnancy with his girlfriend. When his father advised him to "take care of it" (meaning abortion), Pastor Rob chose biblical courage over cultural convenience—a decision that would shape his entire legacy.

But this episode goes far beyond one decision. Pastor Rob reveals his discipleship philosophy that has produced strong Christian warriors: "Things are caught, not taught." Rather than systematic Bible studies, he brought young men into his life, letting them observe how he loved his wife, discipled his children, and applied Scripture to everyday situations. The result? Sons who have exceeded his accomplishments and are now leaders in their own right.

What You'll Discover:

✅ The discipleship method Jesus used—life-on-life observation rather than classroom teaching

✅ How Pastor Rob faced pressure to abort and chose life against all advice

✅ Why systematic studies alone don't produce mature disciples

✅ The profound truth that kids spell love T-I-M-E

✅ How to overcome poor parenting examples and break generational patterns

✅ The spiritual legacy that matters more than any material inheritance

✅ The beautiful picture of the "weaned child" who just wants to be in the Father's presence

✅ Why fathers are the only men who rejoice when other men (their sons) exceed their accomplishments

✅ Practical ways to create discipleship moments in everyday family life

Pastor Rob's story includes profound moments: his father's pressure to abort, his choice to marry despite opposition, watching his sons grow into warriors for Christ, and the touching memory of his son Michael as a toddler—no longer demanding milk but content just to sit in his father's lap while he read Scripture. This picture becomes Pastor Rob's understanding of Psalm 131 and how we should approach our Heavenly Father.

Every father needs this episode. Every future father needs to prepare with this wisdom. This isn't just good advice—it's a blueprint for building spiritual legacy that will impact generations.
