Trinity Family Conference 2022 | 1. Fatherhood and the Loneliness of Leadership | Rev. Andrew Halsey

This year’s Trinity Family Conference focuses on one of the family’s most attacked and villainized positions: the father. Our conference is designed to help families address real problems men face in leading the home as well as arming them with the tools to continue the work of fatherhood in a spiritual war against the original Father. 

Fatherhood and the Loneliness of Leadership
Rev. Andrew Halsey
It’s lonely at the top. Fathers are charged with leading their families through the crossfire between the world, the flesh, and the devil. At times a man’s enemies are the members of his own household. The point man is the first to face enemy fire and the most vulnerable should those entrusted to his care reject his leadership. How do we live with this lonely reality? The God who calls us to this work will Himself equip us for this work. We can press on by faith because we have all we need in Christ, in His Word, and in His church.
