Greg Gunn and Randy Allsbury answer an email question. "How can I encourage my husband to be the spiritual leader in our home?" That's a great question and one that needs to be addressed carefully. Men know their weaknesses like we all do. It usually doesn't help to have them pointed out. Your husband is three men, he's the man you thought he was when you married him, he's the man he really is, and he is the man he will become because he married you! He needs to be honored, respected and encouraged as he does life with you.   To get weekly encouraging text messages, text the word familyid to 95577.

Sherri Allsbury and Greg Gunn talk about reasons to put your family's values, vision and mission in writing. 1. Because it will force you to clarify what you want. 2.

Because it will enable you to see—and celebrate—your progress. (Thank you Michael Hyatt)

Greg Gunn visits with Pastor Steve Snook of MetroChurch.org: (from the website): Our vision at Metro has been the same for over 20 years: Changed Hearts, Changed Lives, Changed World. In 1987 I was given a vision for the Westside of Los Angeles. I say this confidently, but with fear and trembling because the vision is God’s and not my own. Soon after, I felt compelled to write it down after reading a scripture in Habbakuk: “ …Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Hab. 2:2-3(NKJ) Unsure how best to communicate it, I wrote what I saw through the eyes of a fictional reporter for the L.A. Times in the year 2000-something. Excerpts from this Vision Story include: “It is obvious that Metro Church is here for the people, loving God as they love each other. They are making a positive impact on Los Angeles and beyond by modeling true servanthood. Their reputation is impeccable. If they are a reflection of who God is, maybe this is the good news the city of Angeles has been waiting to hear.” “Metro Church is helping to break down the walls that have built up over the years because of racial and economic tension, and they are helping to build unity among churches. Metro Church is truly a healing force as they have brought the truth of their faith to the streets of Los Angeles.”  Read the rest
