Episode notes

Eric: I've only gone through chapter one of my new book, nehemiah. It's about being able to see around corners and keeping an eye on your family. What are some thoughts you'd share with a dad listening who's thinking, maybe i am or am not going to listen to these next ten episodes of the podcast? kemp: The way to draw it out is to kind of like rattle their cage occasionally and go, hey, man, what's going on?

We dads often think that being a leader in the typical sense is good enough: food is on the table, the kids have clothes, and we take Sunday trips to the church where we learn about God. However, as Nehemiah teaches us, the idea of simply being a "leader" at home isn't enough. We must be the spiritual leaders that guide and guard our children. When we take that step to lead and be involved in our family's spiritual development, we're literally filling the role that God called us to serve (Ephesians 6:4).
