| The Expeditionary Man | The Adventure a Man Wants, the Leader His Family Needs
By Rich Wagner
As a Christian man, you hear all the time that "balance" is the solution to your struggles as you juggle work, church, and family priorities. The idea of a "balanced life" sounds good at church and men's conferences, but it doesn't hold up in the real world. Balance deals with a man's calendar, says Rich Wagner, but it doesn't address matters of his heart. In The Expeditionary Man, he poses a bold question: If balance does not work, how will you choose to live out your calling and fulfill your need for adventure and purpose?
The pull of business success and the call to church ministries are compelling - even seductive. But if you allow your heart to be captured by career and church, you put your kid's spiritual lives at risk. Far too many Christian children grow up with the vision of a loving Father in heaven, but live with the reality of an earthly father who seems more devoted to outside interests than he is to them. As a result, many children in Christian families today drift away from their faith as they become adults. To counter this, Wagner challenges the readers of this book to take a different path, an expedition.
Wagner shows how:
- God's design of men includes a strong need for adventure and purpose
- men are naturally driven toward solo quests for purpose and significance and away from their responsibilities at home
- a man can fulfill his need for adventure inside his family without becoming a wimp in the process
- a man's family should be his primary mission field while his children are growing up
By choosing the path that brings hands-on leadership, unity, and direction to your family, you are charting a course for your children's spiritual maturity, enriching your marriage, and discovering the true adventure you were created for.
