In this episode, Pastor Mike answers a practical and important question: how can fathers obey Ephesians 6:4 and lead their children spiritually—even when they’re not home all day?
He explains that while fathers may delegate daily responsibilities, they still carry ultimate leadership and accountability in the home. Biblical parenting involves setting wise boundaries, avoiding overly harsh or controlling rules, and investing intentionally in children through consistent time, teaching, and relationship.
Pastor Mike also highlights a deeper reality: following Christ adds a third priority to life—alongside work and family. This means fathers must make intentional trade-offs, sometimes sacrificing career advancement or personal convenience to stay faithful in their roles at home and in the church.
This teaching offers both encouragement and clarity for dads seeking to lead their families in a Christ-centered way.
