Dr. Joel Beeke is chancellor of Puritan Reformed Seminary, pastor, and prolific author who has written over 100 books on Reformed theology and Christian living. In this conversation, he shares his revolutionary approach to biblical manhood through the offices of prophet, priest, and king in the home.
