Protecting and Providing: A Man’s Guide to Leadership and Family Life
Are you ready to take on the leadership roles that God has given you as a man? As men, it is our responsibility to take on the leadership roles that God has given us. We should work hard to be strong in the Lord, to walk with honesty, and to be loyal to God, our families, and our communities. It is our duty to provide, protect, and lead by example, and to be a mentor and a visionary. We must also love our wives like God loves the church and have control of our emotions. By living a life of servitude and worshipping God, we can become the men God has called us to be.
