Interview with Voddie Baucham

Crossway Blog:

Dr. Gary Chapman says, “I’m not sure that American Christians are going to buy what he (Voddie) is saying, but I think we need to hear it.” Dads, daughters, and sons can listen in to a discussion with Gary Chapman and Voddie Baucham on What He Must Beif He Wants to Marry my Daughter.

Fathers play a crucial role in both their son’s and their daughter’s lives. Baucham seeks to equip a new generation to know God, to follow God, and even more—to equip fathers in the next generation to do the same.

So what does a godly man look like? Does he lead like Christ? What is the man’s role as a husband? What if there are good men out there who don’t fit all of the standards of godliness? Baucham discusses these issues and exhorts dads to build into young men, to be willing to invest in their lives, and to disciple them.

Thanks for this - really thoughtful and wise advice.

When I was thinking about beginning to date my (now) wife, the advice of "Don't date unless you can see a marriage" was given to me. This thinking was fundamental in shaping how we built our relationship and had we not we would definately not made it through a year of long distance!

So I think it is great that this advice is being given more widely. I'll have to buy (and lend out!) the book.

Cheers!
