Thank you for joining us for this conversation today on the Sword and the Trial.

Today, Pastor Tom and I talk to our good friend, Dr. Joel Beakey, about one of his new books,

How to Lead Your Family, A Guide for Men Wanting to Be More.

This is a great conversation on the man's responsibility to be a prophet, a priest, and a king in his own home.

We talk about the importance of family worship, some of the practical ways in which men can implement those duties and responsibilities that they have in their home.

conversation for me. I hope it is for you. Take a listen. Welcome to The Sword and the Trial.

The Sword and the Trial is a podcast of founders' ministries and founders exist for the recovery of

the gospel and the reformation of local churches. I'm Graham Gundin. I'm Tom Askell. And today's episode is brought to you by the Miller's Grove Soap Company and by Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center. We'd highly recommend to go check out both of those organizations on the web. And today we have with us our good friend, Dr. Joel Beakey. Joel Beakey is a pastor in Grand Rapids,

Michigan. He's a theologian president of Puritan Reform Theological Seminary. Regularly speaks at our

conferences. In fact, he's going to be speaking at our conference coming up in January of next year.

That conference is on making disciples. And so we're incredibly excited to

have you with us, Dr. Beke, excited to have you for the conference again this upcoming year.

And we specifically want to talk to you about your new book, How to Lead Your Family, a Guide

for Men Wanting to Beacon. And so thank you for joining us today, Dr. Beakey, and welcome.

Great to be with you guys. Thank you for having me. Yeah, Joel, it's always a delight to talk to you,

and I'm so grateful for the Lord's grace in your life and your gifts and stewardship of those gifts.

Reformation Heritage Books is another dimension

of your ministry that has blessed countless numbers of people around the world. And your

writings have been so beneficial. Graham and I were talking beforehand about you being with us

last year. We did a small conference here in Cape Coral on the family.

And your talk during that conference was instrumental in the lives of many people,

including one young couple that's seeking membership right now that said it just transformed their home.
