Welcome to the For the Gospel Podcast where we provide sound doctrine for everyday people.

I'm your host Kosti Hinn and on today's episode we're continuing our series on biblical manhood to kick off this new year. I've got Pastor Travis Allen with me.

He has just been a well of wisdom. I know he has blessed you as you've been

listening to these episodes. Whether you're a mom who is raising boys and shaping

the future of men or your father who's doing the same, or maybe you're a young man and you need

biblical wisdom or an older man that needs to be refreshed and renewed and

sharpened. I know on this side of the microphone and the camera I have selfishly

been enjoying this. It's been disciplining me and

filling my sails with wind as a man.

So Travis, thanks for coming back.

I'm excited for this episode.

Yeah, me too, Kosti.

It's been a pleasure already and I know we got more to talk about, so let's do it.

Awesome.

Title of this episode, what is the role of men in the home?

And we're coming at all of this from a biblical perspective.

Let me just hit you with the first question.

How should men, Christian men at that, view the home, marriage and family. Are they a drag on our time? Are they a drain on the finances? Is the wife, you know, the old ball and chain? what should our mindset be on home marriage and

family?

We've got to see the home, marriage, and family as God intends us to see it is another of his good and perfect gifts that come from above.

And so that whole anything about a drag, ball and chain, all that stuff is worldly and evil and let's just cast it aside and not even use that language at all. The home, marriage, family, these are a blessing in our life. I mean young men, and you know I was a young man once not married, not nailed down, and I acted like it.

And my, all my energy went into, you know, I was all over the place, you know, stupid stuff.
