The Importance of Obedience | For My Sons - Episode 4

Yoruba Proverb: "Aigboron baba afojudi" 

Translation: "Disobedience is the father of insubordination."

 

Obedience is a word many run from, but it might be the discipline that saves your life, your legacy, and your leadership.

In this episode of For My Sons, Papa O breaks down why obedience isn’t about control, but about clarity, growth, and trust. Whether it’s obedience to wisdom, authority, or your own principles, the ability to align yourself with what’s right, even when it’s hard, can shape your future more than any talent or ambition.

We explore:

• Why obedience is misunderstood and undervalued in modern culture

• How disobedience creates chaos in families, teams, and communities

• The link between obedience, discipline, character, and legacy

• A powerful Yoruba proverb that reframes obedience through cultural wisdom

• What it really means to lead yourself before trying to lead others

If you’re raising sons, leading a home, or just trying to be a better man, this episode is a mirror and a map.
