It’s the job of men, as image bearers of God, to do all that we can to provide for our families so that they can experience the fullness of God’s blessing. We keep watch and protect those in our care from anything that wants to steal, kill, and destroy them and/or God’s desires for their lives.”

When our insecurity hijacks our identity we must remember who's we are, the truth about how God feels about us, and who He says we are.

When our emotions and feelings become overwhelming we often run away and hide. God comes to us in our hideouts asking: “What are you doing here?”
