Summary

There’s a Passivity Pandemic happening in men today when it comes to leading their families and discipling their children in the faith. While husbands are responsible, there’s a lot the wife can do to help, after all two become one flesh in marriage. You will also see a spontaneous inside look into Isaac and Angie’s marriage as they discuss these things in their own lives including the day this episode was shot. Isaac goes in depth on what keeps men passive and how to overcome it, they both talk about lies men and women believe, biblical roles, and end with an unprecedented time’s tip that’s a powerful charge to seriously consider who you are surrounding yourselves with. Listen to this, then listen again with your spouse and talk through it.

One of the most powerful tools as mentioned in the episode is to go through the Parenting Mentor Program together at courageousparenting.com.
