If you're looking to your wife to validate you as a man, then you're also giving her the power to INVALIDATE you as a man. We need to be men who draw their strength, confidence, and affirmation from a much greater source than our wife or our job. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Kay C. James is a conservative leader and former President of the Heritage Foundation. She has held key roles in government, including Director of the Office of Personnel Management under President George W. Bush. Known for her work on healthcare, welfare reform, and education, James is also an advocate for limited government, free markets, and traditional family values. In this episode, Kay shares her "controversial" (in today's society) views on the roles in a marriage and a family, the duties of a husband and wife, and what marriage should look like when we are cherishing it and experiencing it the way God intended. This was a great conversation with a lot of great eye opening moments for both men and women, with the overall takeaway being how much work it takes to have a long, happy, healthy marriage like Kay of 50+ years.

"The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?" Jeremiah 17:9 We should NOT follow our hearts. We should not base our decisions on how we FEEL. Feelings change, hearts deceive us, but the objective Truth of the Gospel of Jesus is unchanging. Make no mistake, culture is attacking gender because "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Culture is attacking Truth because Jesus said, "I am the Truth," and culture is attacking love because scripture teaches that God is love. It's a well-orchestrated attack against the very nature and image of God, and we must be men who stand for the Truth. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
