Equipping Fathers at First Baptist Church, Sherwood, Arkansas, to Be the Primary Disciple Makers in Their Families

This project is designed to equip young men at First Baptist Church, Sherwood, Arkansas, to be the primary spiritual leaders in their homes. Chapter 1 introduces the ministry context, along with the purpose, goals, rationale, definitions, limitations, delimitations, and research methodologies of the project. Chapter 2 provides the biblical and theological basis for a man’s spiritual leadership within the home. A thorough exegesis of Ephesians 4:19-6:4 demonstrates that God has both called and equipped men in their roles as husbands and fathers to lead their families to treasure Jesus Christ. Chapter 3 offers practical guidance for how a man can lead his family to treasure Jesus Christ. Particular emphasis is placed upon developing personal practices that honor Christ, establishing a home that is saturated with God’s Word, ensuring the home is gospel-centered, and developing an intentional spiritual growth plan for the family. Chapter 4 provides the details of the three phases of project implementation, including an initial preparation phase, a teaching phase, and a follow-up phase. Chapter 5 offers an evaluation of the results of the project, theological and personal reflections, key takeaways, and next steps.
