5/21/26 Pursuing a Higher Standard
As a husband and father, would you do anything to change your ways if you realized the lives of your wife and children are gifts that will be presented to God one day? Who they become will be laid at the feet of our Lord. Because you hold these offices, you’re a steward of those […]

5/20/26 Just Say Yes
Make sure you respond to the call God has for your life. Make sure you don’t choose to take the easier road by living a life that’s different than God intended. If you follow hard after God, you’ll probably feel like you’re on the outside looking in within the church. I’m not talking about doing […]

5/19/26 The Bad Guys
As men, we are taught to hold on to our own safety and make sure no one takes our stuff. Some time ago, the Lord startled me while I was in one of those quiet-almost-sleepy-could-really-be-dozing kind of prayer times. His voice was quiet and full of love. He said, “I want you to know that […]

5/18/26 Easier to Do
As men, it’s easier to try to do something about all the brush fires we ignite with our spiritual ignorance than it is to become everything we’re called to be in Christ. Making something happen is far easier than waiting on God to direct our steps and completely oversee our lives, which allows us to […]

5/16/26 Action or Reaction?
Are you a man of action, or do you find yourself reacting to challenges that could have been avoided if you had engaged sooner? Preemptive prayer is an action that helps to create a smooth path for families to travel. As I look around, I see so many marriages that appear to be on the […]

5/15/26 Hold Them
As a father, one of the most wonderful gifts you’ve been given is the privilege of holding your children before God as they are finding their way. The wealth of your prayerful investment in their lives is beyond comprehension. Only eternity will tell of the magnitude of the results. There’s an unseen war raging to […]

5/14/26 You’re Dangerous
Do you have any idea how important it is for your wife to know you are praying for her? Do you have any idea how much peace your children can have when they know their father is standing in the gap for them as they go about their days? Even if they don’t seem to […]

5/13/26 Birth Pangs
Sometimes the responsibility of holding our offices of husband and father becomes pretty overwhelming, especially if we’re attempting to hold them in a way that pleases the Lord. Standing in the gap for another until Christ is fully formed in that person – which is very much a part of our duties as stewards – […]

5/12/26 Nothing of Ourselves
If you are like most of us guys, plans, ideas, challenges, and a myriad of other mind games consume our time and cause us to seek outcomes that seem logical to us. We think our way into scenarios, feeling that it’s part of our function as husbands and fathers. Although planning for the future is […]

5/11/26 The Husband Bride
When I first came to the Lord, I couldn’t comprehend how a man could also be part of the bride of Christ. “Macho Me” had great difficulty surrendering my masculinity to some bridal story in which I was to play a part. Over the years, I have learned of the wonder and privilege I have […]

5/09/26 Player or Prayer?
Are you primarily a player or a prayer in your relationship with your wife and children? A player adheres to the world’s direction for solving his family situations. He acts out the role of husband and father in a way he’s been taught by society. What is society’s definition of being a man? What does […]

5/08/26 Support Her
One of the most important functions in fulfilling your offices of husband and father is to love your wife as Christ loved the church. He laid down His life for the church. You are to do the same for your wife, placing her best interests above your own. Part of loving your wife is supporting […]
