Episode Summary. This episode begins by noting that Genesis 3:17 tells us that God’s curse upon Adam for his rebellion in the Garden of Eden was not just for transgressing the command not to eat the fruit but for his reversal of God’s created order of roles. Man’s call to lead the home matters to God. This episode examines what leadership is and is not, providing a diagram for understanding the three functions of leadership. We then add flesh to this skeletal structure by shaping a 5-fold job description for men as they function as spiritual leaders of their homes.   

For Further Prayerful Thought

1. Why do you thin God told Adam he was being punished for his role reversal as well as eating the forbidden fruit?
2. What stood out to you in this episode about what leadership is not?
3. How would use explain the three functions of leadership? (arrows in the diagram)
4. What stood out to you about the job description of men being the spiritual leaders at home?
