A Challenge to Husbands

Okay, husbands, here is the challenge. Listen to at least 7 of these 14 audio clips (they are short) from my friends at the Acts 29 Network. That's it. Just listen. Now, I realize that these clips are focused toward pastor/husbands, but I assure you that we can all find many, many nuggets of gold that the Holy Spirit just might use to bring substantial renewal to our homes. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
