His Side S01E11 – Reimagining Holiday Service: A Man’s Role in Giving

The holidays are often a season of giving, but for many families, the weight of serving falls disproportionately on women. From preparing meals to decorating the house, hosting guests, and managing the holiday chaos, women are expected to give endlessly while men often take a backseat, simply receiving.

In this eye-opening episode of *HisSide* on the StrongHome Network, host Jeff Reed and guest Dr. Jason Plunkett challenge men to rethink what it means to serve during the holidays. They explore the true heart of service—not for accolades or tradition, but as an intentional act of love.

Drawing on the five love languages, they discuss why serving isn’t just about doing—it’s about the posture of your heart. They remind men that serving isn’t solely a woman’s responsibility and emphasize that real leadership often means stepping up to lighten the load in ways that might not come naturally. Whether it’s helping in the kitchen, leading with grace during family gatherings, or showing gratitude through action, this season offers the perfect opportunity for men to serve differently.

Dr. Plunkett and Jeff also unpack how childhood experiences and societal norms influence how we approach serving, often reinforcing unhealthy dynamics. But this year, it’s time to rewrite the script. What if men served their families and loved ones with humility and intention, modeling Christ-like love instead of passively observing?

This powerful conversation is a call to action for men to re-examine their role during the holidays and step into a new level of purpose, service, and leadership in their homes.

Limitless Living: Embracing Godly Boundaries

In a world where relationships often struggle due to unspoken expectations, one crucial element stands out: boundaries. Through reflection and growth, I’ve come to realize the importance of setting clear, respectful boundaries in every aspect of life, especially in marriage. I now understand that boundaries are not just rules but acts of love, care, and respect. As the head of the household, it is my responsibility to set these boundaries, seeking guidance from God and His Word to ensure they align with His will. By doing so, I not only strengthen my relationship with my wife but also create a peaceful, orderly home that honors both God and the love we share. This journey of repentance, forgiveness, and transformation has shown me the power of living within the structure of godly boundaries, and the peace that follows is immeasurable. I encourage all men to step up, seek God’s direction, and set boundaries that empower your family to thrive in faith, love, and abundance.

Work Addiction: A Silent Struggle

Today in California, with perfect weather and endless possibilities, I find myself trapped in a cycle of work addiction. Despite the beautiful day, I’m focused on completing a project instead of spending time with my family or taking care of myself. Work addiction, like any other, is a compulsive behavior that negatively impacts your health, relationships, and well-being. Over time, it leads to burnout and missed moments with loved ones. To break this cycle, I’m committing to a balanced approach—prioritizing my health, family, and personal time. This is my goal for the next few months, and I encourage you to join me in making self-care and balance a priority. Life’s precious moments are too important to overlook.
