Biblical Principles Applied > Spiritual Leadership

Every guy who reads this blog would stand at the door of his house with a shotgun to protect his family physically. But most Christian men feel inept and inadequate at fighting to protect them, spiritually. As we saw last week, Jesus told his disciples the ultimate weapon for defeating Satan is prayer. But if we are going to use this weapon effectively in spiritual battle, we need to understand it. This episode continues our study of what Jesus taught are the six basic parts of effective prayer, in Matt 6:9-13

In Matt 6:25-33, Jesus says, essentially, “Don’t be preoccupied with these everyday necessities,” says Jesus, “The Father knows you need them.” Instead, BE PREOCCIPIED with something else. “The matter of greatest importance for you,” says our Lord, “your primary concern and top priority is this: SEEKING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” The rest of the podcast tries to bring this nebulous, vague concept into sharper focus.

No man walks down the wedding aisle or holds his newborn child for the first time, planning to fail his family. We want to lead our homes well. This episode examines the man God chose to lead the home where his son, Jesus, was to grow up—Joseph of Nazareth—and what lessons we can learn from him about godly manhood.
