The Long Obedience

Episode 1: The Man I Meant to Be


Listen Later

In the pilot episode, I introduce myself as a divorced preacher who failed at the very thing I’m asking other men to pursue—and that honesty becomes the foundation for everything that follows. I argue that marriages and families don't usually fall apart from one catastrophic failure but from a thousand small surrenders, and I share three lessons learned from my own wreckage: (1) you can't lead your family from a spiritual place you haven’t been, (2) vulnerability is the doorway to every relationship that matters, and (3) faithfulness is not a feeling but a daily decision to keep walking in the same direction.
