Summary
Jerrad shares a powerful message on what it means to be both protector and peacemaker in a culture where those ideas often feel at odds. From an unexpected lesson while watching a duck guard its family, to deep reflection on Jesus’ words in Matthew 5, this episode challenges men to take spiritual ownership of their homes. Jerrad unpacks how true peace isn’t passive—it’s courageous, intentional, and rooted in the heart of a father who fights for his family’s physical and spiritual well-being.
What You’ll Hear:
- A surprising story about ducks, gators, and spiritual leadership
- Why real protection involves far more than physical safety
- The difference between being a peacekeeper and a peacemaker
- How passivity in marriage and parenting sabotages spiritual growth
- What it means to have your head “on a swivel” in today’s culture
- Why owning hidden sin is part of leading with integrity
- How peacemaking reveals your identity as a son of God
Tune in to hear what strength looks like in fatherhood and how courage and peace can go hand in hand.
