Take Back Your Family 5-Day Plan Sample

Here’s the best way to do a quick assessment to find out if you’re a team or not: ask yourself if all your assets are being deployed.

What do I mean by that?

Your family, right now, in this moment, has tons of assets, and they should be written down somewhere. You might have particular leadership skills that no one else in the family does. Your spouse might have operational gifts and vision capabilities no one else has. Your oldest kid might be supersensitive emotionally and able to sense people’s difficulties and know how to empathize or comfort them more than most. Your youngest kid might have a brilliant mind for solving problems.

So why then are they sitting on the bench waiting and are never called into the game?

Or why are you or they allowed to let those skills and assets be deployed at their work and school, but they are never activated at home? The truth is, family and home should get the best of everyone’s talents and skills before work or school or anything else does.

And that’s what a true marital team is about—the husband’s job is to release the wife’s strongest assets into the world and their home with force and power. And the wife is to help unleash her husband’s best gifts and talents in the same way.

Teams release and unleash the maximum potential of their team members. And you’ll be shocked when that’s happening to see how much more purpose you find in the home than outside of it.

If you work outside the home, make sure your identity and force of purpose are coming from the home and the team. If you’re setting out to discover it somewhere else, destruction is all you will find.

Prayer

Lord, thank you for the gifts you have given each member of my family. Please help us to use those gifts to work as a team as we share your love with others. Amen.
