I realized: I was the problem.Instead of clearing plates, I grabbed my ukulele and belted out the silliest song I know. Within seconds, laughter erupted, kids ran circles, older ones sang while doing dishes, and the entire evening flipped."Joy should be the default setting for your home. Be the thermostat." – JM ClarkIn this episode:* Why headship = responsibility for the emotional temperature (Voddie Baucham: "As the father goes, so goes the home.")* The fire-in-the-woodstove analogy for warming a cold house (and why your wife’s help keeps it steady)* 5 actionable steps to reclaim the thermostat:Talk to your wife first (unity, not weakness)Call a family meeting & own your failuresCast vision for a joyful, peace-filled homeExecute consistently (smile, laugh, dad-joke with confidence)Enforce with love—call out grumbling, celebrate delightExamples in action:* Countenance: Smile first, even when tired.* Playfulness: Brazen dad jokes = self-unseriousness + leadership.* Persistence: Check in with your wife naturally; remind kids by modeling.Cold homes don’t warm instantly—but consistent fire-starting changes everything.Fierce Men is about becoming better men and doing more for God’s Kingdom.
