The 4:8 Men Podcast

Why Serving Your Family Is Sometimes Harder than Serving a Stranger | Christian Huff

Episode Summary

"We're just two dudes trying to figure it out" is a great way to describe the conversation Christian has with his new friend, Luke Albritton. Their wives introduced them, and they've gotten to know each other best through regular meetups at the gym, working out together, sharing prayer requests, and using the time to talk though wins and losses. Luke gets honest about how difficult it was to become a husband, learning how to serve his wife well, and how the transition to being a new dad has been a blessing, but a difficult blessing. Luke says he's always been active, from working as a boy on his family's farm to lifting weights in high school. He confesses that his "I can outwork anyone in the room" mentality that he was brought up with became a selfish, prideful desire about his own abilities and comparing himself to others and how he still strives to overcome that. Both Christian and Luke lament their sinful desires to sometimes just NOT be kind and loving, but they're doubly grateful for someone they can share these things with, and that's why your accountability person is SO important!  -
