Dads, grandpas, is that your philosophy when dealing with conflict in your family? As husbands and fathers, God has called us to be leaders in our homes. No, not tyrannical dictators, but leaders. That means sometimes we have to make unpopular decisions. But stand firm when unpopular decisions are based on God’s Word, or when you believe God is leading you in a specific direction. While it’s important for you to include your wife and kids in major decisions, sometimes God leads YOU to decide. These decisions, in many cases, helps them trust God more—especially when unpopular decisions turn out for His good. And ladies, pray for the men in your lives. God called us to lead you. As we work together, we become godly examples for our kids.
