Episode notes

The book of nehemiah was an interesting portrait for me in both the harder side of leadership, where you've got to be really firm and very specific. And another thing that stands out is, as building the wall, every person has a role to play. Everyone had roll. Didn't matter who you thought you were for this to get done right? We're all in this together.

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).
