Dads as the Chief Priest of the Home: Lead Your Family Into God’s Presence Dr. Chris Harper and Josiah Jones discuss a father’s responsibility as the “chief priest” of his home, meaning he should usher his family into God’s presence through church involvement, daily worship, and consistent prayer. Harper challenges men to lead with enthusiasm when the church is open, arguing dads set the emotional and spiritual “temperature” of the household, and suggests changing churches if the current one doesn’t call men to mission. They emphasize bringing “church” into the living room through Scripture, singing, catechism, and connecting everyday gifts (meals, sports, vacations) back to the Creator to cultivate worship and gratitude. Using Job’s continual offerings as a model, Harper calls fathers to intercede daily for their children, highlighting faithful, simple rhythms over flashy experiences, and closes by previewing a future episode on fathers as kings in the home.

Young men don’t need platforms — they need formation. In this episode, Dr. Chris Harper and his co-host argue that the opposite of biblical masculinity is not femininity — it’s immaturity. They unpack Proverbs 4, Paul’s “follow me as I follow Christ,” and offer seven practical, uncomfortable, and necessary truths for young men who want to grow up in the faith.

In this episode of the Dr. Chris Harper Show, Dr. Harper addresses a growing crisis in the church and culture: young men trying to lead without older mentors. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience in youth ministry, Dr. Harper explains why passion alone is not enough — and why biblical wisdom is meant to be passed down through generations. From Titus 2 to practical ministry leadership, this episode highlights the essential role older men play in shaping courageous, disciplined and wise young leaders. In this conversation, you’ll learn: • Why young men need spiritual fathers • The difference between zeal and wisdom • What Scripture teaches about intergenerational discipleship • How mentorless leadership leads to burnout and error • How churches can cultivate strong, grounded young men God’s design has never been isolated leadership. Young men flourish when older men invest in them. Make sure to check out Amazing+ The World's First 0-18 strategy: http://joinamazing.com/freetrial
