This was an absolutely wonderful lesson! I learned so much from it. I first became interested in becoming a submissive wife right before Tim and I got married.

Daniel Nott is an executive director for Awana. His love for kids extends to his involvement as an Awana leader, small-group teacher and summer camp volunteer at his church. His four children have all participated in Awana. As a father of four, I really want my children to be thirsty learners.
