In this Father’s Day-focused episode, Amy welcomes her husband, Michael Davison, to discuss the restoration of biblical manhood, fatherhood, and discipleship in the home. Michael shares how a coworker’s assumption that he was an atheist became a profound wake-up call, revealing that he had compartmentalized his faith and failed to visibly represent Christ in his workplace.The conversation explores the dangers of separating faith from everyday life, the cultural decline of male spiritual leadership, and the need for Christian men to reclaim their God-given role as disciples and leaders within their families. Michael explains how leaning into spiritual disciplines, accountability, and intentional discipleship transformed both his personal walk with Christ and the lives of those around him. The discussion also addresses why many men avoid traditional men’s ministry programs and offers practical insights into building effective men’s groups that challenge, encourage, and equip men for spiritual leadership.Main Points CoveredThe importance of spiritual leadership in the homeThe role of accountability in spiritual growthWhy many men avoid traditional men’s ministriesSpiritual disciplines for fathersThe influence of fathers and mothers on children’s faithResources MentionedThe Toxic War on Masculinity by Nancy PearceyDeep Discipleship by JT EnglishStand Firm and Act Like Men by Joby MartinThe Awe of God by John BevereScriptures MentionedPsalm 139:23–241 Thessalonians 5 More from Mama BearCheck out our websiteBuy the Mama Bear Apologetics book (affiliate link)Join Our Email ListHave Us Speak at Your EventFollow us on social media FacebookXInstagramWant to support our ministry?Donate Here—Editing and Support by The Good Podcast Co.
