Abstract

God has provided every believing father with adequate spiritual resources through the Bible, the Spirit, and the church to lead their families. The following article will show how these resources contribute to the Christian father’s confidence and competency to lead his family spiritually. The article begins by laying out the problem within contempary churches and their male members by using Beaver Dam Baptist as the normal church within evangelicalism. Once the problem is presented I will walk through a four step solution in how the man of God can turn the tide of secularism in his own home. Section one focuses on the Scripture’s expectation for fathers to lead spiritually in the home, and section two identifies the practical implications for fathers who live accordingly to the biblical standard. Section three covers the details of the project, and finally, this project is evaluated in section four.
