A protector is a man who shields and defends the people God has placed under his care. He puts himself between his people and those who will harm them, whether it be physical, spiritual, or even from the culture and the technology it brings into your home. A protector is wise, not a fool. He is not someone who looks for nor invites trouble, but is also not someone who runs from it. The role of protector is one of position: you place yourself between the world and your loved ones. You act as a door, letting them out into the world as ambassadors for Christ to impact the culture for his glory, while at the same time, keeping the culture out, who would love nothing more than to devour your family. You are responsible to God for your loved ones. Guard them with your life. Be a protector. Yesterday was easy!","meta_description":"In this twenty-third episode, Pastor Luke wraps up his discussion of Voddie Baucham’s Four P’s of Family Shepherding, covering the Protector.
