Be The Man

Welcome to Be The Man! Today, Pastor Stacey Harris and Eli Tilley continue through I Corinthians 13, with verse 5 this week, on love being selfless, and not self-seeking. Be mindful of how you show respect to your spouse, and how your spouse is respecting you. Love does NOT insist on its own way. Love is patience and kind, but not boastful, demanding, or selfish. Being selfless is a concept that can take us far with our spouses, in our homes, in ministry, and in life in general. Understanding our job description as the man of the household means to be selfless, and putting your wife and family before yourself. The greatest model we have for this is Jesus Christ, as He gave Himself as a ransom for His Bride, us, His children and people, the Church.

Love is patient, kind, and does not BRAG! As Pastor Stacey Harris and Eli Tilley continue through I Corinthians chapter 13, the next topic in verse 4 is that love does not envy or boast. As Paul gives some Holy Spirit inspired principles and attributes of love, he mentions how love does not envy or boast, and in some translations state, it is not proud or prideful. How well do you know your spouse? What are some ways that you could talk about her, or be proud of her rather than being prideful about yourself? Listen in today to hear some practical principles, spiritual advice, and marriage secrets on Be The Man!

On this week's episode of Be The Man, Pastor Stacey Harris and Eli Tilley discuss chivalry! Being the man in our relationships means to put ourselves before our wives, protecting them, guiding them, and supporting them in every way possible. Chivalry is the concept of behaving honorably towards the women in our lives. Simple acts as holding the door, offering a coat, and holding an umbrella are examples of chivalry. As men, we are to honor, protect, and respect women, as God has ordained us to. Tune in this week to hear a chivalrous discussion!

Be a leader! On today's episode of Be The Man, Pastor Stacey Harris and Eli Tilley discuss what it means to be a leader in your relationships, with God as the head. Christian men, husbands, and dads need to be driven, determined, and ultimately led by Christ. A leader is proactive and not reactive, sets the tone, and is a model Christian for the household. Jesus, being the model of leadership, is a servant. Our duty as Christian men is to model after Christ, serving Him and serving our families as Christ did and does for His Church.
