"4. Find a man who you know is doing a good job at being a spiritual head of his home and meet with him and ask him to share with you what he does, how he does it, when, etc"
This comment scares me. My father was a wonderful teacher in sunday school, a dedicated decon, a prayer leader, a house group mentor, cleaned the church, painted walls you name it.. he was wonderful at it.. Yet now, finaly, a man convicted of domestic violence against his wife and daughter. Now if i met anyone who knows him, they say "surely not, not him, but he was such a good decon/teacher/whatever". to the extent that he still goes to our old church where we are no longer welcome.
If you want to become the spritual head of your children, cry to Jesus to show you how, because that is the only way. Children are a gift only from God. No matter how much YOU wanted/want your child you only have them through the grace of God. God knows your children better than you do, and he knows you better than anyone else. Don't look to other men to teach you things, as we all have specks of dust in our eyes, look only to to Jesus, the only one who can see clearly what needs to be done.
