In this episode, we discuss the reality that as men, we were created first by God when He created Adam. Through him, we were given instructions on how to be, how to act, and how to love especially when it came to his bride, Eve. We as men are supposed to lead our bride to heaven. We are called to take care of her and lead her to eternity through our mission under Christ. My dad also shares some practical tips on creating good 'habits' that will help us accomplish our tasks as men.
