There is a battle being waged against the Biblical mandate given to husbands and wives. People are bombarded daily by conflicting ideologies, all striving to redefine marriage and family. In his four-part series, God’s Mandate for Christian Husbands and Wives, Michael Youssef directs men and women to the Word of God to uncover God’s design for husbands and wives.

In this crucial second episode of God’s Mandate for Christian Husbands and Wives, Dr. Michael Youssef calls fathers to reclaim their God-ordained role as spiritual leaders in the home. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, Dr. Youssef underscores that Biblical fatherhood is not passive—it is a sacred trust to lead by example, to teach and talk about the Truth of God’s Word at all times. Fathers are commanded to model Christ’s character and prepare their children to stand firm against the idolatry, immorality, and confusion of the culture. Whether you are a young father or one burdened by regret, the call is the same: repent, return, and rise up to lead. God is faithful to redeem when we obey His mandate.
