Jesus radically saved Rob’s grandfather, which changed the trajectory of his entire family!!!

What if YOU are the only believer in your family - YOU can be that legacy that passed down a different path for your great-grandkids!

Guys, if you don’t have an example of what a man should be - Jesus is THE greatest example, THE greatest man. Ephesians 3:14-15: “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.” God, the Father, is the Creator, the Provider, the Sustainer. 

Wilton Family Manifesto - We are a family that has been loved by Jesus in order to love like Jesus so that the world will know Jesus by our love. Together we remain thankful for His love, faithful in His love, and generous with His love.

1 John 4:19, Deut. 6:5, Gal. 5:14

My job as a father - stewardship of teaching the men in my household the dynamics of manhood, especially as it relates to womanhood. Here are the responsibilities: 1. Love her, we are to love as Christ loved the church, that means sacrifice. 2. Protect her, keep away “bad” things from those you love. 3. Support her, we make others feel valuable. 4. Learn from her, women are our “battle partners in life” and help us in our journey toward Christ-likeness!

Psalm 144:12 - May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown and our daughters be like pillars carved (polished) to adorn a palace.

Appreciate the role that women play in helping to shape the man that God intended for you to be! Men, how are you treating ALL the women in your life - mom, teachers, waitress, co-workers, boss, neighbor, friend…
