Husbands and dads play a crucial role in the health and survival of the family.

That’s why leadership expert Tim Witmer has written this course—to strengthen

our efforts to lead well. He applies a biblical framework to the role of leadership

in the home, showing how effective shepherding involves “knowing, leading, protecting,

and providing for your family”; all the while communicating solid principles with a

down-to-earth, relatable tone.
