Where Are All The Men?
A few days ago I had the honor to be asked to do a graveside service for a friend of Sara and I’s whose baby only survived a couple of hours due to a ruptured kidney. It was heart wrenching. I can’t imagine what she’s going through. If you have a second, please pray for the family.
The thing that God shook me to the core with was that this graveside was attended by 15 or so people - ALL of which were female. In the midst of this tragedy, there was no father of the baby, no father of the mom, no uncles, friends, nobody. The only 2 men in attendance were me and a representative of the funeral home.
I strongly believe in the necessity of male leadership. I’ve got to believe, though, that this family isn’t the only one in the state that it’s in. My heart breaks for the condition of our culture and its people.
I pray Arrowhead would be a place where men are raised up to lead their families and lead the local church.
