The leadership role of the man has significant impact on the wellbeing of the family and church, which, in turn, has a significant impact on society. This article encompasses an evaluation of the leadership role of the man in context of the family and church, with an analysis of qualitative research through structured interviews (naïve sketches) conducted with fifteen female participants. The structured interviews are presented in the form of selected verbatim responses to five questions related to the leadership role of the man in the mentioned contexts. It is imperative for men to study the Bible adequately and appreciate the authority of Scripture and what it says about their leadership role in the family and church. Having a sound biblical theology about the leadership role of the man in context of the family and church can potentially help him to lead his family and church toward a more biblical model of leadership in a post-pandemic era. The purpose of this article is to highlight the imperative leadership role of the man, where challenges may be identified, and practical solutions be recommended for equipping men to be effective leaders in the mentioned contexts. This article comes from a chapter in a larger study from a PhD dissertation: The leadership role of the man in context of the family and church: A Pastoral-Theological study.
This paper engaged the qualitative method of structured interviews with Christian men due to non-functioning in the family and church. The paper emphasises the leadership role of the man in context of family and church. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate how men function in their leadership role in context of family and church so that challenges may be identified, and practical solutions be recommended to the church for the equipping of Christian men. The question that this paper endeavoured to answer was: Which detrimental factors have contributed to the non-functioning of Christian men in their role as spiritual leaders in context of family and church? The structured interviews used in this study involved fifteen male participants selected from the surroundings of evangelical churches in Johannesburg, South Africa. This paper provides a description of the research process related to the qualitative data analysis and its results related to the participant responses. The feedback from the respondents shed light on the need for the equipping of Christian men in the selected churches for their leadership role in the mentioned contexts. This paper contributes to Christian families and churches having a sound biblical worldview of the leadership role of the man, and a clear understanding of the authority of Scripture in their lives and ministry. This paper comes from a chapter in a larger study from a PhD thesis: The leadership role of the man in context of the family and church: A pastoral-theological study.
