"Servant Leadership" is redundant. A leader IS a servant. So, why are so many men obsessed with making sure everyone knows that they are specifically a SERVANT leadership? Because we have collectively believed the Satanic lie that leadership is bad, authority is bad, husbands shouldn't be the head of their wife...the list goes on. We think the only way to lead in our families is to be a lap dog. To say "yes, wife". To ask, "how high?" when your wife says "jump!". Whether you're too scared to call her out for being lazy and selfish, or whether you're the one acted lazy and selfish by abdicating leadership to her, it's time to start giving a rip about your family and about the fact that you're accountable to God for your household. This episode tears down the reasons why you might find yourself in this situation, AND gives you practical tools and advice for righting past wrongs and starting to captain your ship. In This Episode: 0:00 Intro 1:08 What guys get wrong about servant leadership 3:45 Should "Leaders Eat Last"? 7:15 The consequences of taking "servant leader" way too far 10:31 How to show servant leadership without losing strength 15:26 What to do if your wife is walking all over you 25:19 The solution to your emasculation problem 31:17 The secret hack... 33:53 What sales training can teach you about being a man worth following Mentioned: Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek 👉 Join Our Free FB Group on Family Leadership & Sex in Marriage: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefamilycaptain --- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheFamilyCaptain/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_family_captain/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thefamilycaptain Website: https://thefamilycaptain.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thefamilyleader725 --- Nobody tells men that our lives will shift into autopilot without us noticing.

Was Jesus alpha or beta when he was letting people spit in His face and punch Him? Was He alpha or beta when He was rebuking the Pharisees? Gentlemen...Jesus shows us so clearly that He was the right thing at the right time.

There are three obvious enemies that keep men from leading in a way that causes families to thrive. In this episode JM reveals them and shows you how to beat each one.
“Nice” guys defer to others- not because of their deep love for others, but because of their fear of the displeasure of others. “Nice” guys have no standards. “Nice” guys submit to their wives and make themselves and their wives miserable in the process. They seek comfort in the moment at the expense of real satisfaction and health long-term. Learn to be a good guy who does what’s best, instead of a nice guy who does what comfortable.…
