#440 - Gretchen Martin // You Cannot Lead Your Home If You Are Not There

We challenge ourselves to lead our homes like the Bible actually says, starting with a real walk with Jesus and then moving into the hard, ordinary work of being present. A lice salon story exposes how normalized absent dads have become, and we call men to show up so their wives can trust them and their kids can thrive. • personal relationship with Jesus as the first requirement for leadership • being shepherded through Scripture, worship, Bible study, and accountability • presence as a biblical standard for managing a household well • common ways men check out from church, dinner, and bedtime routines • respect as something earned through daily involvement, not demanded • the lice guarantee story as a warning about cultural father-absence • fatherlessness statistics and why they should wake us up • leading by example in the trenches, not from the sidelines • encouragement for divorced and single dads to stay present and honor mom Men, show up. Just show up. Support the showWant to connect? Email [email protected]
