In this episode, Nathan sits down with David Reece—pastor, entrepreneur, and founder of Armored Republic—to explore how Christian men can lead their households, train their children, and steward businesses with wisdom and purpose. From raising sons to work full-time by their mid-teens, to cultivating daughters as queens in the home, to structuring time around the Lord’s Day, David shares a blueprint for dominion living. The conversation dives deep into discipline, delegation, biblical law, and the practical skills needed to govern your home and ventures for the glory of God.
