Why Nehemiah Was Not a Dad?

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).
