The resolution calls men not only to tend their homes but to look beyond them — to the fatherless, the widow, the poor, and the marginalized who need a courageous man to stand up.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Micah 6:8 calls God's people to 'do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.' The Kendricks place this not in the abstract but in very specific contexts: the fatherless child, the impoverished neighborhood, the vulnerable family. Where does justice feel most real and urgent to you?
2.The chapter challenges men to consider adoption, foster care, and mentoring as concrete expressions of their faith. James 1:27 defines pure religion as caring for orphans and widows. Has your faith community made that call clear to you? How have you responded?
3.The Kendricks note that there is a crisis of fatherlessness in society — and that the church has a unique opportunity to respond. What would it look like for you personally to invest in the life of a fatherless child or a struggling family in your community?
a.Is there a specific person, child, or family who comes to mind as you read this chapter? What is one step you could take toward them?
