In this video, we dive into a growing crisis facing men in America—especially fathers. Since the pandemic, there's been a noticeable rise in passivity, apathy, and fear of commitment among men, particularly when it comes to marriage and family.

We discuss the spiritual and societal challenges men are facing today, the epidemic of fatherlessness, and the collapse of commitment to family. But there’s also hope—many voices are rising to call men back to purpose, leadership, and authentic masculinity.

What does it really mean for a man to lead his home biblically? In this episode, we break down the often misunderstood concept of spiritual leadership through the lens of Scripture—not culture. Biblical leadership is not about control, dominance, or making all the decisions. It’s about humility, servant-heartedness, sacrificial love, and walking in step with Christ.

We’ll explore practical ways a husband can lead with grace and courage, how leadership impacts the emotional and spiritual climate of the home, and why leadership starts with following Jesus first. Whether you're a husband looking to grow or a wife seeking to support your husband's leadership, this episode brings truth, encouragement, and clarity for the journey.

In this powerful episode, we confront a growing issue in today’s culture: the Church’s silence on the biblical view of marriage. As culture loudly redefines love, gender, and covenant, far too many churches have taken a passive stance, leaving couples without truth, guidance, or support.

We explore what happens when the Church steps back instead of stepping in—and why elevating marriage should be a central mission, not a side conversation. Join us as we challenge ministry leaders, couples, and believers to see marriage not just as a private relationship but as a God-ordained covenant worth fighting for.

Whether your marriage is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between, this episode will stir your heart, spark meaningful conversations, and call the Church back to its rightful place as a champion of covenant marriage.
