What Does the Bible Say About A Man's Role? (EP. 212)

Men of Iron Podcast

This week we begin our Family Series as we talk about what a man's role in the home looks like. At the forefront of views on manhood are often the cultural narratives about toxic masculinity. When we look at what the Bible says, from creation in Genesis 1, Gods makes man in His own image. God gave Adam authority over everything in the world, but also provided a companion for Adam to serve as his helper. They were both created in God's image with unique tasks and skillsets. When sin entered the world Adam tried to hide what happened and blamed it on Eve. Men we must lead from a servant position, not a power position. We as men don't have more value than women, we just have different roles. When we are intentional about our role as men in the home, we lead from a servant position. As men we often put so much effort into being a great leader at work and don't have the energy to be a great leader at home. When we look at Paul's teachings in Ephesians, he was doing something wildly radical in teaching men how to to lead their families from a servant position. It was countercultural, and still is today! Let's be countercultural men! Be a man that your wife wants to follow, that your kids want to follow.
