God calls Dads to be the spiritual leaders in their homes. This is evident from the last part of Ephesians 5 and the first several verses of Ephesians 6.
- “Wives, submit to your husbands.”
- “The husband is the head of the wife.”
- “Fathers … bring them [your children] up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”
As a Christian husband and father, God has placed on my shoulders the responsibility to be a spiritual leader for my wife and for my children. I cannot abdicate that responsibility if I am to be pleasing to the Lord.
