From Feeling Spiritually Inferior to Becoming the Family Anchor.
How will we, as Christian men, respond to this crisis of meaning and purpose?
We must lay the responsibility for teaching our children about God’s work in our lives at parents’ feet.
Both parent and child must understand what baptism is.
To a child (even a grown one), individual time speaks love loudly.
The goal of conflict resolution in a Christian marriage is never to win. It’s to understand and to be understood.
Integrity is the willingness to stand by one’s best judgment when the stakes are high and the pressure is overwhelming.
“People would rather follow a leader who is always real versus a leader who is always right. Don’t try to be a perfect leader, just work on being an authentic one.”
A husband who leads asks himself every day: How do I serve my wife and family well? What does she need from me? Where is God calling me to go first?
Shame comes when we measure ourselves by the world’s standard for manhood instead of God’s.
As parents, we cannot put anything in our child’s heart that is not first in our own, any more than we can come from where we’ve not been.
