Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.900
cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:19.000
And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.160
that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star review. Also,
00:00:31.900
perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll
00:00:37.100
take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless. Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:45.140
but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.940
mothers will spend in many cases a great deal more quantity of time with the children than the
00:00:59.980
father who is obligated to work outside of the home and making physical provision but the father
00:01:06.480
is still at the end of the day the covenant head of the home that means that he is responsible
00:01:12.620
for everything that happens in the household just like a captain on a ship he doesn't do
00:01:18.820
every single job, but he's responsible for everything that takes place on that ship.
00:01:24.980
He's delegating much of the work, but he's ultimately the one who is responsible. The buck
00:01:31.280
stops with him. So fathers are especially responsible to provide answers to their
00:01:37.760
children's questions. Mothers, likewise, are going to be often providing answers. And when you can't,
00:01:44.100
moms in the room, you should be able to go and ask your husband, and he should be able to answer
00:01:50.060
the question. Now, that being said, I like the way that Douglas Wilson has said it. A man may not be
00:01:57.840
a vocational theologian, but in his home, he must be the resident theologian. Not every man will be
00:02:06.740
a vocational theologian. Not every man will go to seminary. Not every man will have a doctorate
00:02:16.880
that means you'll probably know the Bible better.
00:02:36.680
Some men will be better theologians than other men.
00:02:43.480
When it comes to your home, you are the resident theologian.
00:02:56.620
And you are the resident theologian in your home.
00:03:03.080
It doesn't mean necessarily that you will be able to answer every question that your wife and children have.
00:03:08.740
but it means that you will be fiercely committed
00:03:12.300
when you don't have the answer to finding the answer.
00:03:22.200
I don't know, sweetheart, but I'll find out.
0.52
00:03:42.320
is because that's literally what the Bible says.
00:04:08.100
competency, right? It's not that a wife trusts that the brain of her husband is so perfectly
0.54
00:04:16.180
theologically tuned that on the spot he can give the exact right biblical answer to every question
0.62
00:04:22.860
she could fathom. But what a wife should be able to trust of her husband is not the perfection of
00:04:28.460
his brain, but the commitment of his heart. That if he doesn't know the answer, that the heart of
00:04:36.940
that husband, loves his wife and is thoroughly committed to obeying God's word, to wash her
00:04:43.120
in the water of the word, meaning in the same way that he physically will work out of the home to
00:04:49.140
make physical provision, to make sure that there's food in the cupboards, to make sure that there's
00:04:54.380
a roof over her head, to make sure that there's clothing to wear, that in the same way that he
00:05:00.460
works hard and diligently to make physical provision, that he is just as committed to
00:05:05.460
making ample spiritual provision, theological provision. So it's not that the wife goes to
00:05:12.260
her husband because she believes that her husband is intellectually the best theologian in all the
00:05:18.260
world. It's not that he knows more about the scripture than any other man. Why do wives go
00:05:24.820
to their husbands? One, because the scripture commands it. But two, it's not because his mind
1.00
00:05:33.300
but it's because his heart is more in love with her
00:05:43.840
It's because he loves her more than anyone else.
00:05:49.200
that he'll be willing to work two or three jobs,
00:05:57.460
likewise, he'll be willing to do whatever Google search
00:06:01.080
he needs to perform to go and talk to the pastor or go and do this or go and do that listen to
00:06:07.180
however many lectures on canon plus app you know whatever he's got to do to answer the question
00:06:13.120
why because he loves her because he loves her whoa whoa you're gonna want to hear this our next
00:06:20.360
two conferences are coming up quick we've got first our fall conference this is november 11th
00:06:26.380
and 12th. That's a full day Saturday and a holdover for the Lord's day, November 12th.
00:06:32.840
Who's speaking at this conference? Well, we've got Jared Longshore and Chris Wiley and yours truly,
00:06:39.520
Pastor Joel Webb. And what's the title? The title is the household and the war for the cosmos. Now
00:06:45.260
I know you're thinking, wait a second, you can't use that title, Joel. That's the title for Chris
00:06:49.620
Wiley's book. Well, I can use it because he's going to be there speaking and he gave me his
00:06:54.460
permission. We're going to be talking about the household as the basic building block for pushing
00:06:59.880
back the kingdom of darkness in this world. We're going to be talking about biblical patriarchy.
00:07:05.300
We're going to be talking about marriage and parenting, how to keep your kids, how to shape
00:07:10.180
and form them like straight arrows, like sharp arrows that do damage to the kingdom of darkness,
00:07:16.840
training our children in the fear and ammunition of the Lord. A full day on Saturday, November 11th,
00:07:22.520
and then holding Jared Longshore over for the Lord's Day, November 12th,
00:07:26.740
to preach at my church, Covenant Bible Church, in Central Texas.
00:07:31.520
You can register at the early bird rate, which will not last long,
00:07:35.580
but you can register at the early bird rate today by going to rightresponseconference.com.
00:07:44.920
Now, our second conference is our spring conference.
00:07:47.660
This is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
00:07:53.280
The title for this conference, Blueprints for Chrysidom 2.0.
00:08:01.120
We don't want to revert back to Chrysidom 1.0, although it would certainly be a whole
00:08:06.360
lot better than the clown world that we're currently living in, but we recognize despite
00:08:11.300
the phenomenal features of a prior Chrysidom, there were certain bugs that we'd like to
00:08:17.040
see worked out. So we're not going back. We are pushing forward to Christendom 2.0. We believe
00:08:23.440
that the blueprints are seven doctrines for ruling the world righteously. What are these seven
00:08:29.980
doctrines? Well, it's reformed confessionalism. It's covenant theology. It's biblical patriarchy.
00:08:36.640
It's presuppositionalism and Kuyperianism and general equity theonomy and hopeful eschatology
00:08:44.640
post-millennialism. Who's going to be teaching us on these doctrines? Voldemort, he who must not be
00:08:51.300
named, Pastor Douglas Wilson himself. You also got Mr. Brighthearth, Mr. Kingshall, Mr. Haunted
00:08:58.000
Cosmos, Pastor Brian Sauve. And we also have Dr. Joseph Boot, and of course, yours truly, Pastor
00:09:06.240
Joel Webin. We'll be doing seven primary lectures, as well as two 90-minute panels with all the
00:09:12.980
speakers together, and we'll likely add a couple more speakers along the way. Again, that's March
00:09:19.440
1st, 2nd, and 3rd, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's Blueprints for Chrysidom 2.0. We've got the
00:09:28.280
early bird rate going right now, but it will run out quickly. So go to rightresponseconference.com,
