Holy Husbands

Jan 18, 2026 • Trent Casto

While modern society may be engaged in a war on men, the Bible is not. We recognize that God created humanity male and female and that they are not the same. When God made woman, it was good. When God made man, it was good. When he brought them into a relationship of headship and submission, it was good. Of course, like everything else, being a man has been complicated by the fact that we are all sinners. Join us to discover what it means to be a holy husband.

Sermon Discussion Questions:

1. What cultural shifts have contributed to the decline of masculine virtue? How does the gospel provide a better foundation for biblical manhood?

2. What does it mean to live with your wife “according to knowledge” of God and of your wife? In which area are you lacking knowledge, and what can you do about it this week?

3. Why is spiritual leadership in the home so difficult for so many Christian men? What can be done about it?

4. Why do you think active church involvement makes such a dramatic difference in how men treat their wives? How does the gospel transform the way we use whatever power or strength we have in relationships?

5. How does remembering that your spouse is equally redeemed and equally valued by God change the way you approach conflict or difficulty in marriage?
