Husbands: Leading with Love.
What does it mean to truly be a biblical husband? This raw, unfiltered conversation dives deep into the struggles, misconceptions, and transformative power of godly leadership in marriage.
Dave, Frank, and Pat share their personal journeys with refreshing honesty, revealing that becoming a biblical husband doesn't start with changing your spouse—it begins with becoming a man in Christ. "I've never seen it work where you became a biblical husband and then grown deeper in your relationship with Christ," Frank explains. "It's becoming a man in Christ first, then that overflows into becoming a biblical husband."
The trio tackles the profound influence husbands have within their families, exploring how a man's spiritual leadership sets the tone for the entire household. Pat shares his eye-opening realization: "We have so much influence in our family. If a husband goes to church, he can draw the children and wife into church, setting the tone spiritually." They discuss the difference between merely "checking religious boxes" versus authentic spiritual leadership that transforms marriage from the inside out.
Perhaps most powerful is their vulnerable discussion about marriage struggles. From feeling like they've "tried everything" to discovering the balance between being tough and tender, they share practical wisdom about consistency in prayer, meeting your spouse where they are, and viewing marriage as a blessing rather than a burden. Frank offers this game-changing perspective: "As long as you're projecting vertically toward God, not just horizontally toward each other, you'll eventually meet at a certain point spiritually, and the marriage gets better."
Whether you're newly married or decades in, struggling or thriving, this conversation offers biblical insights and practical steps to lead your family with love, grace and purpose. Subscribe, share, and join our community as we navigate faith and family together!
