Husbands lead by supporting wife's dream career?

Here's my suggestion, u/Kashmon777: stop reading and listening to these "popular" preachers online for a while and invest some time into reading the Word of God. Read the whole thing through, take some notes on things that stand out to you.

It's difficult in this day and age to separate truth from lies/partial truths. You know why? You can't know what a lie looks like unless you compare it to the truth. The truth is the standard, not what people think. The Word is the truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). Jesus said " You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32) How will you know the truth? By knowing God's Word.

Stop letting these others confuse you, and go to the Source.

Proverbs 14:12

There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

We shouldn't be following what our friend Bob down the street is telling us to follow, simply because our friend Bob is telling us so. All that matters is the Word of God, and what it teaches on this matter.

There are roles for man and woman; husband and wife. These roles have been here since the creation of man. The Bible clearly teaches that women are not "to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet". I know of no verse saying women are not to teach one another, though; older women are encouraged to in:

Titus 2:3-5

3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Now then, the Bible in Titus is referring to older women teaching younger; not younger teaching older. What does this draw me to believe? a young wife should know to "love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands,". I argue that this woman is not following what God has intended for women.

Women are supposed to be subject to their husbands, and I doubt most of these women at those conferences are obeying their husbands. In fact, I'd bet they are trying to subject their husbands to the same thing her husband has subjected himself to.

It seems to me that a big complaint within this community is about feminised churches.

Here in northeastern Louisiana in the Baptist community, I'm not familiar with that problem. Perhaps I'm looking through blue hazed glasses and I don't know it. Maybe y'all could ask me questions about my community to help me know if it has become gynocentric or not.

Children's departments are usually lead by women, but beginning at the age of 12, we do not allow males to be taught by females.

Feminism is destroying churches all over America..I believe it may even be the spirit of jezebel. How do we as men deal with this?. Women are better at communicating with eachother. They are loyal to their cause. Women have become rebellious and refuse to submit to their husbands. This leaves Christian husbands crippled and unable to do Gods calling. Effeminate pastors support these types of women and turn on men of God. these rebellious women tare down their husbands and so do these wicked rebellious pastors. How are we as men going to get our dignity back? Whats it gonna take? I guarantee when we figure it out that that the extreme left will be running with their pants down !

This will not end well.

Of course a man supports his wife's dream and helps her achieve it but this is unhealthy.

My pastor definitely preaches wives submitting to their husbands from the pulpit. I'M the getting a divorce from a wife who is ALREADY bringing another man to church (I refuse to leave this awesome church). My family pastor believes I have more rights to attend than she does even though she keeps me from attending how I want to by her attending how she wants but also having a restraining order against me.

more quotes jenniesallenBefore one more second goes by I need to thank the man behind @ifgathering. Several years ago as we started to come to terms with this costly calling, before IF had a name, Zac got away and prayed about what should happen. When he came home he said, "Jennie- one day I'll stand before God and talk about the ways we gave our gifts as a family for His glory. I want each member of our family to build God's Kingdom with their gifts. Let's do this. I'm in." That was several years ago- he is SO in. Thank you @zallen2 for the millions of ways you have supported and sacrificed for this dream and for me and for our kids. I love you. He also jokes, "Jennie may get the clapping here but I'll have all the crowns in heaven!" Haha! I say- he deserves them. This picture was right before we went live in Austin at #ifgathering2016 as he prayed for all of you. Who is a man who supports you in some way in your life? A dad, husband, coworker, pastor, friend?

That was when he decided to swap roles and support his wife

my Pastor believes the same thing that this is the true role of men...
