You can do everything you're supposed to do as a husband, father, and leader—and still lose the heart with which you began.

You work. Provide. Protect. Pray. Train. Show up.

But what happens when the wife you prayed for becomes another responsibility? When fatherhood becomes another checklist? When the practices that once brought you closer to God become obligations you resent?

In Revelation 2, Christ confronts the church in Ephesus for abandoning its first love, despite its perseverance and good works.

The work continued. The devotion faded.

And maybe the answer isn't to do more.

Maybe it's to return your heart to what you're already doing.

Strength. Love. Service.
