Are you just a super compassionate leader?

Or is it passivity in disguise?

We see so many men being "nice guys" instead of kind men, because they're overwhelmed, afraid of conflict, unsure what to do, obsessed with comfort...whatever the reason, it's causing grief in your family.

In this episode we talk about why you might actually be patting yourself on the back for something that isn't actually compassionate, and how to fix it.

Nobody tells men that our lives will shift into autopilot without us noticing. They didn’t warn us that our marriage would drift into average instead of amazing. But Christians should have the best marriages and the best sex lives. The Family Captain will show you how.
