Pastor J.D. discusses God’s design for men according to Genesis 2 and 3.

A glimpse inside this episode:

It goes back to Genesis 2–3.

Spiritual Leadership: 

He’s given the responsibility to lead the family. Not only spiritually:

When you look at Genesis 3 you can see that humanity’s fall happened, in part, through a failure of the man to lead. He was “with” the woman when she ate. He was standing there, wondering if Genesis 2:17 was true.

Genesis 3:9 is still his question. Where are you, men? We’ve got a generation of males that never grow up to be men who take up their role as leaders.

Dr. Anthony Bradley, sociologist: 

Just as the fall of humanity came through the failure of a man to lead, so salvation comes when a man takes up his leadership role. 

Tony Evans: “As goes the man, so goes the family. As goes the family; so goes the church. As goes the church; so goes the community. As goes the community; so goes the nation. So if you want to change the nation; change the community; if you want to change the community change the church; if you want to change the church; change the family; if you want to change the family, change the man.”

Tony Evans: If the child is first to come to Christ, there is a 3.5% chance everyone else in the household will follow; if the mother, a 17% chance; if the father, a 93%.
