Providing help, encouragement and Instruction to family Leaders
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.
Do we see ourselves as someone who must be followed, or someone who is ready to serve and help others?
We cannot teach what we ourselves have not learned.

It takes humility and being willing to put the desires of your spouse above your own.
I know of too many couples who once they are “empty nesters” don’t know what to do because their relationship was primarily as parents to their children.
