#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.
