The Christian Worldview - Husbands and Fathers—How to Lead Your Family
GUEST: Dr. Joel Beeke, Pastor and Author, How to Lead Your Family
From the very beginning, God established husbands and fathers to be leaders in their homes. This is to be a self-sacrificing and love-filled leadership, just as Christ loved and sacrificed for His bride, the church, the body of believers.
As we approach Father’s Day, what more important message can a husband and father hear than to fully embrace his call to lead his family for God’s glory? This doesn’t just mean rearing his children but shepherding his wife as well.
Joel Beeke, former president and now chancellor of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and longtime pastor of Heritage Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, joins us this weekend to discuss his helpful new book, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide for Men Wanting to Be More.
The notable framework that Dr. Beeke sets forth in the book is that Christian husbands and fathers share in a limited way Christ’s three offices of prophet, priest, and king. Joel will explain how this should play out in the home, as the husband and father loves and leads his wife and children.
There is much biblical and practical wisdom for husbands and fathers in this short 80-page book and we will tell you how you can order a copy for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.
The interview was conducted this week halfway across the world, where Joel is preaching in New Zealand and Australia.
