Biblical Roles of Manhood (Ep.016)

The following podcast was recorded for "Meet Me at the Well" hosted by Ashley Stiles.What does it actually mean to be a "biblical man" in today’s world? In this episode, Matthew Gilbert joins the show for a deep dive into the roles God designed for husbands and fathers. We often focus on the "Proverbs 31 Woman," but Matthew highlights the often-overlooked verses regarding the husband at the city gates—the man whose leadership at home creates a foundation of peace and trust.From 1 Timothy’s qualifications for leadership to the "act like men" call of 1 Corinthians 16:13, we discuss the difference between control and Christ-like leadership. We explore the importance of communication, the power of a husband and wife ministering together, and why a man’s greatest success is reflected in the character of his household. Whether you’re a young man finding your trade or a seasoned father looking to strengthen your home, this episode offers honest insights on failing, growing, and ultimately leading with love.

The Blessing of Being a Father (Ep.015)

Can you really prepare for fatherhood? In this episode, I sit down with Bro. Jesse Hedrick to discuss the real truth about those nine months of anticipation and the transition into life with a newborn. No one is truly ready for the beautiful chaos that a new baby brings. While we can plan how to support our wives during pregnancy, the reality is that fatherhood is a journey that requires more than just logistical preparation. In this episode, we dive into: Faith Over Fear: Recognizing that while we may feel unready, it is God who ultimately prepares us and equips us for the calling of fatherhood. The Power of Prayer: Moving beyond our own strength and seeking divine wisdom through prayer and reflection. Beyond Providing: Why being present and spiritually grounded matters more than just "checking boxes." Legacy: Learning from our own fathers to build a stronger foundation for the next generation. The First Moment: That indescribable feeling of holding your son for the first time and realizing the true depth of love. Fatherhood is a sanctifying process—one that shapes you into the man and father you’re meant to be under God's guidance. Enjoy this season of bonding and anticipation.
