0:00.0	This episode of Bright Hearth is brought to you by Indigo Sundry Soap Company, Rooted Pine's Homestead,
0:05.5	Joe Garrison with Backwards Planning Financial, and by our supporters at Patreon.com.
0:10.5	The task of a father in his home can be described in many ways.
0:15.0	If you've listened to my preaching and teaching over the years, you've likely heard me describe
0:18.9	Godly masculinity using William Mauser's five aspects, that Godly men are lords, husbandmen, saviors, sages, and glory-bearers.
0:27.6	Each of these vocations is helpful in understanding a man's role.
0:31.8	Another way we might think about this task can be seen in comparison
0:34.8	of the task given to our first Father Adam and how it echoes later in the work of the
0:39.4	priests in the temple. Both Adam and the priests are told to work and keep their gardens.

1:12.0	golden lampstand,
1:13.5	cherubim guarding the holy place, and garden imagery all throughout.
1:17.6	Like Eden, the entrance opened to the east.

1:26.0	Many other parallels can be seen between the garden and the tabernacle and then the temple.
1:30.6	The priests, like Adam, were told to do the same as him, to work and to keep the temple garden.
1:36.1	They were to cultivate the glory of a people at peace with God through their work, overseeing
1:40.4	worship and sacrifice, all ultimately pointing to the work of Christ, the true priest.
