Summary

It's the problem we see most often...an active, engaged mom who's trying to lead the family, and a passive dad who's abdicated his leadership.

This does NOT work.

Mom MUST use her gifts to complementarily help Dad lead.

Dad MUST step up and start leading.

This shared vision is crucial for family culture and how your kids (and marriage) turn out.

Jeremy and April break this idea down by reacting to a couple of clips that show the importance of dad leading for the greater, common good.

This will challenge you, but after so many years helping so many families, this is THE way to build your family, because it is GOD'S way to build your family.
