The way he speaks so respectfully and lovingly about women is so foreign to me, it brought me to tears. I feel so healed after having watched this. Thank you so much, Pastor Mark
As a daughter that has been dishonored, unprotected, etc- this message has blessed me. Now I know and understand how I am supposed to be treated. Thank you!
Me too. Something was healing inside of me. My estranged Husband was abusive, and I have two daughters. Listening to Pastor Mark has shown me how a man should behave. All the lies he would tell get destroyed in these messages.
Thank you for this sermon. I have never heard this from of thinking. Men knowing how to be men. May every man watch this and take its message into his heart. This would heal the world!
Growing up without a father present, but as a threatening cloud over our lives and marrying to a loving man who raised himself with both mom and dad not emotionally present...we struggle a lot in finding a good and healthy balanced man/woman/leadership. Thank you for this message, I learned some new insights
I appreciate your message. I grew up in a church and a home where the men dishonored females. As I read the O.T., I was horrified at the transactional treatment of women and questioned if God cared about women. Eventually I began the process of learning that God is my Father, Husband, Friend, Savior...Praise Him. I am His daughter.
The pastor at our church says that women need to thank Jesus for how he showed men to treat us. When he came it changed how women were devalued and went through the bible of all the women that were appreciated and valued that were around Jesus. Then of course how we need to treat our husbands. Respect for each other defintely a two way street.
This was an amazing teaching!! Everything was truth and on point!! I am so very Blessed to have a godly husband that honors me, which makes it so easy to honor and adore him!!! We each see one another through God's eyes.....It's Beautiful!!!.....God has to be Lord of your marriage and your lives!!!
I agree totally with you. I was fortunate enough to have a step- father who raised me from an early age and treated me like his own child. He taught me manners and discipline as well as strength. As well as appitude in education. He was an ex-marine & a man's man. They are a dying breed in our world today-thanos to our govt. Thank you for this sermon. You're right on the target to for young men today. God bless you-

Hey brother in christ,I havent heard one goverment offical in any country say the name jesus, has any of you? We love you father. In jesus mighty name amen
In my marriage, it seems that my husband ( raised by an absent father and a liberal democrat mother) is a feminist and I am not. This absolutely destroyed our family and our marriage. We're still married, but the pain that we all feel because of the repercussions of my trying to fill the roles of both mother and father and his own absence as a husband and father is excruciating. Our family is a complete mess. We're in our 50s now with grown children. Every single one of us is miserable. I begged and fought for him to stand up and lead our family for decades to no avail. He was afraid of failure, so wouldn't try. Being in that situation, I ended up messing things up on my part too. I started drinking heavily to numb myself from being married with no husband and having to be mom and dad. That only made things worse. I quit drinking , and years earlier just stopped making decisions about the kids, forcing some responsibility to my husband. This really didn't do much. My kids were left essentially with no parents. Women are not meant to be fathers. I REALLY wish Pastor Mark would do a video for men like my husband.
I have never thought of feminism as dominating a man by any means and it saddens me that it is seen as such. Equality was the goal. This should have been obvious from the beginning, but for more years than not women have been oppressed. Men have been abusing MEN as well as women from the beginning. Being able to understand the bigger picture so we can all come together as human beings is the goal and how God wants us to be.
From what I’ve studied on feminism, the movement wasn’t really that women wanted equality but that women wanted to be like men. Like “it’s socially acceptable for men to sleep around” - instead of holding men accountable the movement said “women should also be able to sleep around without stigma” as one example.
Gotta love a teaching on marriage that completely sidesteps the husbands role and responsibility to lead. Yes, men and women are equal in value. But men are the head of the family - by God’s design. Omitting that, in this culture, is promoting feminism imo. God bless pastor Mark with courage to speak boldly and plainly for our times.
He leads by setting the tone of love. He leads with a servant’s heart, washing feet with Christ’s humility. True leadership lifts others up without worrying about getting recognition and credit. That makes his wife feel emotionally safe and inspires her to respect him genuinely and deeply cuz she sees him laying down his life for her even in the little things. Any wife can submit to a man who leads as Christ loved the Church, but most men don’t understand that kind of leadership. Instead they want to lead like they’d lead a business or a group of their own men friends. Wives require a different type of leadership, and this sermon acknowledges that.
I got a wolf in sheep’s clothing . My emotionally abusive relationship with my husband has ruined me in every way. I don’t want to go to hell if I leave him so I’ve stayed . I used to pray for strength to continue and repair the marriage. But I don’t want strength to continue anymore I just want to stop. I just wanted to …..stop.
On The Lord Jesus being in Sodom he went back up to Heaven and the two angels went in by themselves if Christ was in the city Moses would've DEFINITELY mentioned Him.
His audience is men. This is a Bible study for men that us women seem to enjoy as equally with those men 😊. He's talking about how husband's/fathers should treat their women. It's directed purposefully because he always says their goal is to raise men to bless women and children.
I am totally on board with making women valued and cared for. But I'm scratching my head about the segment where you questioned the care a father has for his daughter by "allowing them to be with men who don't respect them". The Allowing or ownership of an adult daughters relationships isn't for a man to be in a place of partnership. This is the fine line to walk... Misogyny vs Loving Partnership Yes, you as a father must say something to your daughter, in wisdom and concern and love. But you can't sit on them and chain them to the home if they choose a man that you might not like!
Real mean are honorable and do not treat their wife like a man and expect her to be emotionless, work alongside him like a man, or provide for the family.

I am right there with you sister..
Me too. Something was healing inside of me. My estranged Husband was abusive, and I have two daughters. Listening to Pastor Mark has shown me how a man should behave. All the lies he would tell get destroyed in these messages.
Yes! Same here sister!
Thankful that I get to be a husband and practice God’s love over her.
I wish my husband would be like that. I wish my dad would be like that. I wish every man I know was like that.
Thank you for this sermon. I have never heard this from of thinking. Men knowing how to be men. May every man watch this and take its message into his heart. This would heal the world!

No dad here. 😢 But God watched over me ❤ hes our real father.
Words to live by! Great message. This is what people really need to hear instead of the generational problems that keep being perpetrated. Amen.
This is absolutely wonderful! Great for both men and women to hear!

Unfortunately everyone doesn't have a pure heart and just what he said is what it has turned out to be.

Can demons alone move mass? Aside from possessing a person ?
Yes they can. I'm speaking from personal experience.
On The Lord Jesus being in Sodom he went back up to Heaven and the two angels went in by themselves if Christ was in the city Moses would've DEFINITELY mentioned Him.
What about mother’s

Yes, you as a father must say something to your daughter, in wisdom and concern and love. But you can't sit on them and chain them to the home if they choose a man that you might not like!
That’s funny my dads name is Joe also
How about preaching to women - how they should treat their husband with honor and respect
True. But the relationship should be equal not one dominating the other
Real woman need to honor their husband - it’s not happening.
Real mean are honorable and do not treat their wife like a man and expect her to be emotionless, work alongside him like a man, or provide for the family.
And so what's the point of being married? Thanks for the hope LOL
