“God’s Role for Man as Husband and Father” by Ken Adkins
In this article, Ken Adkins reflects on the sacred calling of biblical manhood in the family. In a culture that often trivializes or redefines the roles of husband and father, he reminds us that these positions were established by God Himself and must therefore be approached with reverence and seriousness.
Beginning with God’s design in Genesis, Adkins walks through the Scriptures to show what it means for a man to love his wife, nurture his children, and lead his home in a way that honors the Lord. Drawing additionally from passages in Ephesians, Proverbs, and Deuteronomy, he highlights the biblical pattern for husbands and fathers to serve their families as loving leaders—living sacrificially and pointing their households toward Christ.
This article calls men to recover the beauty and weight of God’s design for the family, reminding us that faithful husbands and fathers reflect something of the character and care of God the Father Himself.
