I think a lot of us as men have a hard time leaning into really being the leader we want

to be because we get paralyzed.

We get these expectations on ourselves or maybe a spouse or somebody else or a comparison

to another guy that just is hyper disciplined.

I'm not hyper categories in a box, checks list everywhere.

I'm not that extra categorized organized person.

Sometimes if you're not that hyper checklist dad or man, you end up getting paralyzed

and subconsciously you think you've got to get your stuff altogether in order to lead

the family and point them to Jesus.

But that's not the gospel.

If I'm capable of having all my stuff together and being perfect, then Jesus wouldn't

have to come to take that place on the cross for us.

But it's out of that place, the good news of Jesus that presupposes I don't bring much

to the table and I need His grace desperately that allows me to go, okay Lord, how do I and

the way I'm uniquely wired?

Step into that and the way I'm wired to do so.
