Becoming A Four Pillar Man

A real man accepts responsibility for his actions. Yesterday, Wilson says that's not how it works for Adam and Eve in the garden of God came looking to them for them. After they got 88 the boy to a different reason. I got your talk me will talk after breath over here that you talk about right. Actually what he said. He said the woman that you gave me.

He blamed God.

We do save clinic accuses boys make excuses. Man accepts responsibility.

This is family life today hosts are David and Wilson bopping confined to someone in the family life today.com to hear from Dave Wilson today about what real men do, including stepping up and taking responsibility. Stay with us and welcome to family life today.

I wish I could say yes, but not yet you still kinda feel like you're under the cloud I'm in the I don't want to get my hopes that I can get that were getting our hopes up for next February. Me because you know it will be out of lockdown by February. This is where carrying tenet right here like life this year was tough, you know, we had 10 years in a row where we had the family life love like you minute marriage cruise and each year it seemed like it got bigger and got better. It was just spectacular and then we were getting ready for year 11 factor was it was last year at this time we were on family life today saying to everybody. You need to sign up for the family life love like you minute marriage cruise and people were calling and starting to sign up and then all of a sudden it was like hello, are we really go sign up for a cruise because the first outbreaks of covert right foreign-born cruises I and it happened right after I get on your anniversary and is happily at home and but were ready for next year next February. You have Dave's guarantee will be out of lockdown.

Yet we have a great lineup of speakers and artists we got great ports that are in place. We talked with the cruise company.

They've done all her safety precautions everything to make it right at me and what were ready to get our society could be our best cruise ever. That year, you II can't say. Can't wait to do it again yeah and and we want to let our listeners know right now we have open registration for next year. If you are ready to join us if you're ready to get out of all of this and get on a boat and head out and have a great time on the love like you minute marriage cruise you can sign up today. It's the best rate available right now for couples. You'll save $400 per couple off your cabin registration. If you sign up this week and you get your pick of staterooms on board the cruise.

So now is the time to get signed up and we thought we should just revisit some of the highlights from the last decade of cruises.

One of the highlights we picked was when you Dave back in 2015 the men's talk on board the cruise and you borrowed a definition of manhood to explain this to our listeners yeah mean bottom line is Robert Lewis, who is of a friend, a partner, family life for years, wrote a book years ago called raising a modern-day night where he walks through sort of four characteristics of what a man is seen outside. When is a boy become a man well when you start to live out these characteristics. I actually said that with Robert years ago and said hey could I use those as the four pillars of manhood and I want to change one of Justin and he was so gracious. He's like, of course, do whatever you want. These are my knees.

Are you from Scripture and so I had always heard men and I've said this you know what's it mean to be a real man Re: AL and so I thought these actually fit that acrostic Re: AL so I just said you will be a real man.

Here's a real man looks like this is one of my favorite topics that you get. I think it's really good and I think for women. I think this is a great time to listen to to because it helps you know how to encourage her husband and her son. I love talking to men. I me my ministry with Detroit Lions as a bunch of big men you know, basically, and we do a chapel service on Saturday nights were the were on the road her home and I love challenging men to be men call real man for pillar manhood is taken.

The were real Re: AL and said okay. Make acrostic of it and what you mean and I would challenge you as is meant to be husbands and dad really understand what is a man, what is a for pillar man that I you notice this is really important for us to know what a man is to know in a vision of manhood is you listen.

The vote only talks to my times and I was watching TV the other night with the stepping up DVD manhood series and vote. He was talking about the three B's and the fireman ABC.

This men in our culture defined by the willful ballfield or bedroom is really true that you got you got cash lock catalog possessions, your man, you do some ballfield any ballfield your ear, your data athlete your man work you have a lot of women right that's our culture. What I walk into a locker room almost every day during the fall with Detroit Lions for 30 years have been doing this and those guys is defined by that.

They got cash they got. They got women there at the highest level you can be in their career and most of the guys that locker just what the boys are not meant every year I talk about the four pillars of manhood with these guys and they walk up to me to never heard any of this. I've never seen this. Can you help me become that guy this stuff I believe is just critical our boy don't know what man is made in our culture. When is a boy become a man stepped up and went out men that women that was going to have sex sex. Joy is going up and do it.

Our Sunday Division I man look like our daughters need to see one so they don't settle for something less when I get married. Our wives are wives are long for me a real man right into it and if you ever read Robert Lewis's material men's fraternity or how to raise a modern-day night home I don't talk about yeah how to raise a modern-day night. I got it as a young father and I have three sons now. My oldest is 2927 and 25 they're all married and that was my guidebook to raise boys to men and raise a modern-day night, which I think applies to fathers with daughters as well. But it's really the definition of manhood is amended in any is for sure characteristics you and I change the E uses the same letters in a different order, and I was sent on a bus with Robert Lewis second early 90s that I was talking to about the pillars and I don't know if in column pillars would be okay. I took your pillars and in a different word comes out real and can I change you need to go do you do what ever you want with this. I want men to know what man is doing. So I take history and add change the E and you give you my spin on that again is real Re: AL's are the same when Robert has his book, some you know what it was a room and he will some you set a real man rejects passive write this down and write it down or put in your phone. A real man rejects passive and basically comes from Robert the first. Whatever talk about this in Genesis chapter 1 we have added many first mantras when you talk about what what man shouldn't be Adam. What a man should be Jesus you'll see this in the four pillars represented all four pillars to the negative and encompass any of them.

And Jesus, all of you rejected passively to come from heaven to earth and save our lives. Adam is in the garden, some you know the story and when Adam and Eve said when he bites of the fruit.

Where was Adam teach about this. I teach about this. I have no idea. Genesis 36 said this when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye and also desirable for gaining wisdom. She took some of it and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate some exactly a person on the trees and on along so you understand Scripture God told who about the tradition – he told the man to lead, you will get there so he communicated he would got the revelation of God and he let his wife and told her so when they're sitting there right beside her and say in the same twist Lord God said to be like him. What is no what is passively he's passive me thinking God said what do set. Do you realize we live in a culture in America. Passive men.

This is this is the first time in American history that women are stronger than becoming a matriarchal society. I think it's awesome that women are strong, love that God calls men to stop the impassive and be men on essay become a dictator and fight everybody. I'm just saying there needs to be a strain in a furnace in a man's life that leads his woman your wife is longing for you to leader and most of that is just rejecting passing up. The reason we say reject SMEs. We all have the capacity to step up my own heart might impassive so often. So when I passive it is when your situation and you think somebody needs to do some boys are passive rejected passively. I guess I got rejected and I got a go for started dating in she said to me like three or four weeks and she goes you know, I realize one fall in love with you and idolize you because you first strong leader man I've ever dated. She was I didn't realize it before, but I've been dating boys now and the man I said she checked out right baby, but it was like as I grew into a man and I say to them in my church.

I've try to get into this I said became a man at age 32, lot of you did before that. What happened in 32 and this is a whole other sermon. I don't have time but number one I understood with the four pillars were.

I started to live them out. That's when we start becoming merely start rejecting passive engaging with God accept responsibility and leaving.

You will go through each one of but the other thing that I did at age 32 that I started at age 28, but it took me long as I forgave my dad. Time to get into my head and dad walked out in our family when I was seven years old, took me on vacations with his mistresses. As a toddler left my mom and dad left me and my brother with a single mama brother died six weeks later leukemia my five-year-old brother and I had to forgive my dad in my 20s and God took me on this journey and I'll never forget.

I read a quote by Lewis Mees in a book called forgive and forget. He says when you forgive someone you set a prisoner free only to discover you the prisoner and I realize all this bitterness I've been harboring termite at all those years was not locking him up. It was locking me up from be in the real man. I got a call maybe I'm telling you, it took a long time when God gave me the pod and have the power but God did that through me from a game of that for filament.

That's where the journey for me really started to reject Cassidy assistance. This does talk about that all morning that I didn't capitalize we do one pillar a week early really want me to have to see the just of SON trying to off real quick dinner last Alliance I use the David and Goliath story to talk about the four pillars and I just don't want to go to first Samuel 17 you put up your Bible on your phone freedom exactly because I don't have time but many of you know the daily life story right. We know right. Something about this.

We got between the season is right God's chosen people and the enemy of God enters one man a giant boy.

All their warriors ready to fight. Guess who the man is 12 or 14 your boy what does he do he reject Cassidy itself & 17 that the warriors train men were afraid and fearful and they pull away from the battling voices is circumcised. Philistine only she's not in the plan of God challenges what you do is doing his brothers are met. But he rejects Cassidy passing a bunch of boys that look like men and one cookie. He lives out the first pillar project passively examples. I was I was 29 when he was like eight years old I went over school one day. Is this Christmas going around lunch and then there is a plague on afterward went out on the playground and I know quarterbacks we start playing touch football with all the guys at the right and so I get my little team and I'm I throw ball is kicked. It was a friend of my son CJ seated is an engineering everybody to music to engineer a smart kid but not really athletic and I want all kickball psychopaths are to many just drop because he can't. The guy garden is the best sapling school little guy named Benny when I heard that to me just put his head down what I could tell this is what hears everyday so now when I was a boy. I'm talking 25, 20 years old and done nothing to her that I would just then I can take a but now I'm a man, I hear that a man rejects passively punch the kid somehow manages to say just a kid I will talk like that you will so we didn't even hate maybe 1015 plays later want to get him involved. He was right here and I throw capacity dropped.

Guess who went off I just went off and I lost. I walked over I grabbed it from back and said to my place or walking to school. He's taken his will begin out and there is a woman there a teacher by the door and I just say this young man needs to go in the school and she looks me she was, and you are CJ said she goes and what you doing with defendant and I said what he's going to see Spencer obliterate and then he goes and she is not all that okay. She took him in right now is the day right, maybe a week later on at parent-teacher conferences at the school. I'm in a class I'm just getting ready to class I just turn in this woman walks up to never met before she goes. Are you Dave Wilson yeah are you CJ Wilson's that yeah I'm thinking all this is Ben's mom.

That's what I first thought I go, yeah she starts weepy. I go can I help you, and she goes on Timmy's mom to me told me that you defended him to the holy last week on the playground.

I just want to say to you. Thanks you made my little boy feel like a man and like he was. Thank you guys. I was weeping as I heard what I do reject the passively that's all I did a real man rejects passively. I thought about this one time at church want to guys my small group came up to me years ago I go to another so important. The mobile station right by our house might not know it is amazing yeah, when and I told him I want this. Out of this. This gas station because my kids go this high school. They live near because they just laughed at me said I'm taken some men back and you want UMI come in so we walk in this mobilization. I'm telling you we were tedious we were very graceful and tender, but far we stood there is men in the community said we are asking you to remove this porn and they because some men came together this week I thought okay just passive intermarriage. I sent right over there Monday night when curcumin came up here if you heard what he said you want reject passive intermarriage.

What he said.

He said start your lives study a wide understanding reject her years ago by Willard Harley's accounts in Minnesota and he said I counseled 3000 couples in the top five needs of a man in the top five needs of a woman and illicitly has a Japanese one.

I looked at those top five needs. I wrote.

I went to hand I said is this true is your top five is what I don't study her project passively I become an expert to meet those needs. Got me.

If you guys don't know the top three because what my top three right you go after this and ask your wife of these are tougher maybe different but start here and find out he said number one affection number two conversation number three openness and honesty. Number one affection number two conversation, honesty and openness you think is right on sexually talk to you, but they wanted to talk all we share our struggles were interested.

I don't understand why Needham according to Harley this book back in the was sex. Sex was respected when it was top years ago this what they would do if they could in their leisure time and sex came out like 29 three before sewing for pleasure, sexier top five and she goes well, it's the top three, she was foreplay, affection, conversation, honesty and openness. Top you want reject passively or married tonight, sir, your wife does for you guys.

It is for me as well can I do this so bad. Yeah. Whenever your wife suck your she's getting your help with one football day and serve her in any way she can. I will attempt… How to apply the gospel you.

He says this do for your spouse what Christ did for you. That's apply the gospel. When we were sent Christ died for us.

This is not your spouse. That's what reject passively looks like for a real man is merits on sale at a real man is our say reject passive real man is four times right.

We discovered what would you say reject passively can be react happy family.

I want to be a real man. He and this is what I have to get permission from Robert to change. I say this a real man engages with God engages number engages with God pursues God got into it's a got a kick off team. Come find out if you do whatever it takes to get to the ball. Same thing you chase down God no matter what.

And the reason I wanted this in the four pillars is I think our culture gets all messed up.

Our culture thinks a man is a man when her top strong right half-sister, a real man is a man and realizes were weak were simple, we are prone to get in big trouble and without God in his power.

We are dead. It's all real man in our culture. Man's like I really like. If you have Jesus of you go to church or you even in the chapel week you weak men need that stuff. But real men don't know the opposite real man realize that we need gasoline gauge with God. I write for 10 years lost my two front teeth less you get hit by a guys elbow on practice either for this coaching conference all the different teams and got another another school we were talking football and yet when joining telling joint on football and about 50 minutes into goes I so you teach that school a meaningful time teaching, I'm of pure volunteer coaches show up whenever I want a they love me to be there when I can because I'm all about developing boys and the men in football's vehicle do that.

I love it go. So what you do what your real death.

No idea. I will ask him a pastor of the church. He stepped back back disease like this to Mama football got top like you're a Christian all I went from your tough your strong to your went just like that I know is not only just. I went your super when could you not to the Christian Christians like I thought, wow, is that inching. That's the cultures definition of a man. The opposite is true, real man engages with God you really think in the David Glass story when David goes to the King Saul as he says you can't go find your says you look at verse 33 to 37.

He basically says I'm a shepherd when I'm taking care of this. Even a library, you will I kill. What does he say this all he says the Lord, your servant will kill the lion and the bear this uncircumcised building.

We like one of them because he is the five the armies of the living got 37, says the Lord rescued me from the Paul. This lien and the Paul. The bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine. Saul said to David go in the Lord be with you what it's all sex is physical strength. He senses spiritual strength was David saying he was say when nobody's looking, was just me alone I got I understand I understand I know God about God. I know that sex is not for the candy. Okay, you go. You're not going alone. You're going with got a real man spends private time alone cultivating his walk with God is once a week church.

It's like word of God they know you know where dad was some I tell you to turn to a book in the Bible you know where this sometimes I speak at churches now say yes open open your Bible to Malachi, you know, I see I'm not can often see in the front row woman, a husband and wife to see the wife like this turned Malachi last of the Old Testament and slide it over to her man.

I've never done this. I want to jump off the podium for cc knows the word better he does. He knows where it is and slide it over to her man because she knows he's supposed to be the one again with God lead her what he is real man engages with God pursues try hard to be like Jesus. It's praying to be like is no difference. You can't try hard to try hard to explain. When you training for your your life and exercising you pattern the training that Jesus you cross train. I call back.

My surgeon said when you get your corresponding P90 X P90 X plus giant P90 X in the first days, chest and back back is push-ups, pull-ups push pull back and forth don't work on their says it can't do pull-ups get a chair and dual wife." The fully the first kid I'm sober say this I didn't want to pull up 90 days later doing chest back every Monday through that thing you go around saying to say why I'm showing you what training does 90 days later doing 25 people.

How does that happen training you get in the word of God daily use that time to pursue God like you pursued your wife before you're married I would jump in a car after football game Saturday afternoon drive to the University Kentucky spent three and half hour spent 1/2 hour drive back for 1/2 hours.

Seven hour trip for a half-hour. There nobody blinked out just what you do in your love men engage with got if I had only one pillars about this would be the one third one is accepts responsibility. Again, this is Ray from Robert loses material accepts responsibility. David goes to the king, and he says what verse 32. He says let no one lose heart, on account of this giant this Philistine, your servant will go and fight him.

He says I accept responsibility. None of these boys are you and say that you sent a man accepts responsibility for the baddies on his life for the goodies on his life when when a man needs to step up and do some Amanda C except response voices, I will fight I wrote my dose is always easier way for someone else.

That's what boys do they wait for somebody to step up and that that's a boy. Honestly, you know, stepping up our culture and their strong stepfather step up because there's no strongmen around so they will always easier to make excuses or my excuses.

The first man was a big excuse maker what is for them after they say he say you want talk to me with Breath over here to talk about right you say said that gave me. He blamed God's saving. We make excuses. Boys make excuses except responsibility.

I wrote my dose is my responsibility to be the man my home with my possibility to love and is my responsibility to leader in our case spiritually is my responsibility to provide to protect and pastor of the three words I teacher miniatures you are called as a manager home to provide to protect and pastor. No excuses. Is it hard. Do I have a text don't know if I gave God's power to be that man in my life. It is my yesterday said he doesn't call himself a missionary because as soon as your father because you are missing or wherever you go right back. Remember I was in college I realize that early progress I realize really that I'm called now to follow Christ to share the good news, so I was to see my dad in Florida. He ended up living in Florida and in West Palm Beach.

I spent a few days with him on spring break.

My senior and I was going to drive a car and drive up to the campus Crusade for Christ spring break on the beach will share Christ as I'm driving northbound for five hours in length.

I'm so new to some got if you want me to share you with somebody in a way put them in my car. I am not kidding.

Later there's a big dude hitchhiking and he was to you as excited look real nice. As I got closer I might know I got nothing. I got anything that was even answer prayer to do that like a minute later, as I just reread buying I look again he just did this, I went back my mom always told me to pick up entire saw the boy right so I drove I got talk to you. I didn't know yet. I was just new, but I sense my spirit around you, pray for got to talk to. That's a guy turn around so I can drive and it wouldn't go so I saw this illegal U-turn to know how we associate with you doing for God to do it so that you turn you some driver backdoors.

I think the guys, now there he was, so I said okay. Got you were going to pull over get to my car to big duffel bag go to so we start on the same to my right and what you do.

He was on a Navy seal when he said that I got so scared. I cannot talk the way, I'm sure Christ this guy is. If you want to hear about Jesus is not to go there right so we just can't drive and he's in my car like never mentioned God, Jesus, all those person you prayed, you said you share. Sure Christ was so warm about the drop-off is exit a little before I get it up I said on the site is okay got here goes. I never ever think about God or think about like Jesus in spiritual things. That was my big opening line.

I do know is doing and forget he sit there and he goes I can't believe you just asked me that Mike oh no no I go wise that he goes my life is all rack one because I was standing on that road. I won't even tell you how ended up on this road needing a ride but I pray the only prayer of ever prayed in my life. I know what he does. I said God of your realtor up there. Send me want your followers to tell me about you. He goes with that be you and I go that to be born again right here my car. We were sitting down on the shoulder because it took 30 minutes before you get off his ex, he gave his life to Jesus there car that they will reject God except this job. This is my job as a man I share Christ with some sense there is member may not be like your hair so I'm except responsibility to be man. This where do you need to step up as a man that will is your beam passes somewhere you know you never know. I been speaking you about taking a step in this area. Step two identical the book stepping up men have to step up to the next level. Or maybe thinking because I man I am lazy in my walk with God. So my guys. It was hard to get in the gym here yesterday and the day before got in there. Can you tell what you get there you pay the price it matters saving spiritually. Don't be lazy. Tell another man to hold you accountable start to wonder, bottom, where it is a man hold me accountable is to this is men together. I want to engage with God except responsibility.

Whatever is God calling you to apologize for say I owned up to my mistake or got 27 you you been letting this area go except responsibly step up and lead in this last one, a real man leads courageously. Please courageously hello John Wayne actually used to say said does mean you're not afraid men are afraid all the time you settle up anyway right saddle up anyways like we courageously call the lead men were as I started my life in figure what is a man I never had a vision in many of you guys that I didn't Robert Lewis in his mature mother and I went to work out every time you read about man resist services subtle thing in many many times. Blaine Lee Lee Lee again.

My wife is a better leader I am. She's more gifted as a leader to leave the church and it explodes based on what he said annually but he said no. Dave usually my wife when I leave, not as a dictator is a gentle, loving, lay my life down later but still strong. She loves that she doesn't your wife will take to get dictating what you're leading them with courage, even when you're scared to death, even when you don't know what to do.

You lead. Think about this David glass door. It's amazing when you get to the battle scene every summer because you thought about leadership. Again we have a boy who puts away the armor because it doesn't fit.

He walks out of the slingshot limestone WI one half. I really need one. Therefore, brothers to Goliath, you find it out other passages.

He thought if I got to the mall today so walks out right. He stands at the mall line.

A giant know will face everyday taunting and they're all hiding behind bushes hiding behind rocks and a boy walks out you. He says he says is you come against me with a sword and a spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty was that come from engaging with God.

He knows the Lord God Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

This day the Lord will deliver you in my hands and I'll strike you down and cut off your head this very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals in the whole will know that there is a God of Israel, all those gathered here will know that is not by the sword or spear that the Lord save for the battle is the Lord and he will give all of you into our hands until giant you kill all the Lord God Almighty will I know I know power noise character plan you're going down today so I never heard Sunday school whenever the store was taught the next verse says as the Philistine Goliath moved closer to attack him get sources. David ran quickly toward the battle line to me. I never thought it was sort like Data General hiding behind his Little Rock a big rock and Goliath is to talk what is a passage that delivers this discharging some of the men the boys watching they had to be like Quincy to Peaslee occurred that we don't live because he rejected his game got these acceptors and hide behind a rock. He does this, like the Giants usually got his little you know your training to engage with him the Giants. The problems are like a small charge of something bigger.

Some smaller. That is God's.

We ran though. I'm thinking you attacking anything in your life that can aggression or something, getting you and your son a high vacuum like I hope my marriage works out. I hope she stuck got said you guys and me as a man today reject passive engagement got except responsibly, starkly you walk into the situations you run to the battery site doesn't happen anymore. This is to send in your life you say I start reading this family. Don't tell your wife that seriously want this to get me yeah whatever to tell brother tell somebody back home to hold accountable and do she'll see you start doing, I tell you where to start on your knees, get on your knees. You say God I am weak, I can never do this. I've made commitments to you before, I never fulfilled him.I need you and God will meet you there is you engage with him and help transform your life Helen with this myself or your out till football story that one football stories about when actually I begin starting quarterback at Ball State myself or your eye replaced again for your start to get a hold you as a new quarterback taken over whose. None of us will solicit the Corvette so I get on the waitlist to because I'm nobody right start off the season, but there is often sublime and the 10 young went to the Pharisees captaining a senior is like 66, 300 pounds when he said got shot listening was corrected also.

So he was a leader for gay plan Indiana state home homecoming.

That's when Larry Bird played basketball anything, but I don't force applicable. So were were beating around the clock. We need one more first down so the guy ran a play and said it's a short little pass, throw it is not open, run it, so the clock keeps goes like a minute left, I throw to get a first down guy intercepted it for a touchdown to be this night not only make it through thick.

This attack and he scores and were down like for with less than a minute ago I walked out the field my echoes go South more mistake now so arrogant.

I sit on the bench. They kick off get the ball one last try. So I run up there he goes again were 20 got we got mechanic and feel that we got so first down and click send out 1/3 down is like 15 seconds left. We call in route get going upright as you all do that carefully go down on you through it.

Next time you down out on your phone put there to come up that doesn't work against free that right but that's only because I roll out this guy like this I get ready so I guess target hits on my back to Ellis on his part again. I know that you don't see a liar. Please just listen to the crowd. You learn what it means that the crowd at home. Does that really got no interception is incomplete right so I wear a crown so I jump my receivers got the body sprinting ADRs intensity be turned From the sky. Remorse around the four to so we went to John when I'm older they feel to me on the office Comes up with some egos so we want to get right. We practice Monday.

What happens when getting off is about you exactly happen. I will why because I may have played a crucial moment.

And now I'm the man next three years. By the way, we saw the film on Monday to talk to your life man stepped up made a play and they were willing to follow so I would tell you that crazy circus. Here's the application were done. There comes a moment in your home back to the committee moments in your home, your wife is long for you to be the your sons and daughters are long to be the man and they may never say the words out loud you get the picture.

But when you make a play.

When you reject passive and when you gave the guy when you except responsibly when you lead with courage. That's not even your courage is God's courage in you underneath the resume said I love and hundreds of breath or like I follow that man why because women and children and our society and churches are longing for real we been listing to Dave Wilson on what real manhood is. The guys in the room on the cruise when you were presenting that message back a few years ago. I mean they were ready to go out and storm the boat here before I got tell you I enjoy speaking to men as much is anything I ever do you know when you get a room in because there's something in the man's soul. The masculine soul that longs to be what God created us to be and often I don't think we know what that looks like so to get a chance to give a vision like this is what it looks like and like you said Bob, I hope at the end of daylight. Let's go. It's one thing talk about it. Let's actually do it and I mentioned that this message was one that you gave on the family life of a commuter marriage cruise. These kinds of messages from folks like you guys the speakers that we bring on the cruise. I mean you believe that cruise with a whole fresh perspective on your assignment in marriage.

Your assignment is parent.

Your assignment is husbands as wives. It really is an empowering exciting week. The first time we went on the cruise. You and I joked because I thought it was just a love boat. You know going to love boat was just gonna laugh and enjoy each other and to be a vacation and I had no idea it is a vacation and you are refreshed, but it's a marriage intensive retreat, you come off the boat. After a few days or week and you're in love and you're not just in love with your spouse, but with Jesus is transforming high think the words that come to my mind are equipped and inspired you in every way in managing your right Dave, spiritually speaking, like you want to draw closer to God because you have a vision of what he created you to do and be in a marriage but we we cannot wait.
