Episode notes
Dominion As Servant Leadership
- Dominion is a mindset of servant leadership, not power or control in marriage and family.
- Tristan defines dominion by daily service: making lunches, helping kids, and freeing his wife to function smoothly each morning.
Earn Leadership By Serving First
- Do model servant leadership to gain real authority at home by serving your wife and children before making requests.
- Tristan gives practical examples: fixing lunches, brushing kids' teeth, and preparing school clothes to make mornings run.
Wake With A Dominion Mindset
- Dominion also means waking with purpose every day to steward your domain.
- Tristan links the creation mandate to daily intention: ask how you will serve family and fulfill purpose each morning.
