Hey everyone,
Thanks for joining me on this episode of the podcast. Today, I wanted to focus on a topic that I believe is important for both men and women, young and old, married and unmarried – biblical manhood and men who lead well.
In today’s society, we are facing a lot of confusion when it comes to gender roles and identities. It’s a time where traditional roles are being challenged, and people are struggling to understand who they are. And in the midst of this confusion, we have created categories to accommodate these identities, which may not always be in line with Biblical principles.
I believe that people are hurting and confused, and there’s a reason for that. God is not the author of confusion; He is the author of order. Everything God does has an order, a protocol, and keys to it. And when there is confusion, there is a need for clarity and understanding of God’s design for each individual.
I recently spoke about this topic at a marriage conference, and it was eye-opening for many. I emphasized the importance of investing in two things: our minds and our relationships. Just as I invest in expanding my mind and challenging my thought life, I also invest in my relationship with my wife.
To lead well as a man, it’s essential to understand the concept of being the source and sustainer in your family. Just like the beams that hold up a building, men are called to provide stability and support in the home. It’s about sustaining what you have created, whether it’s a marriage, a family, or a home.
One of the key aspects of leading well is understanding and appreciating the differences between men and women. These differences should not be seen as battlegrounds but as opportunities for partnership and growth. My wife and I have embraced our differences and turned them into strengths that have strengthened our relationship.
Finally, to lead well, men are called to dwell with their wives with knowledge. This means taking the time to understand your wife, how she is wired, and what makes her tick. It’s about knowing her cycle, her emotions, and her needs, and responding to them with love and understanding.
I believe that we need masculine men who understand their identity and role in the home. Men of character who lead by example and who are the same person privately as they are publicly. Let’s bring men of God back to the homes, the churches, and the nation.
