Hey, I'm Tim Schmoyer
Some men master fatherhood but never learn to elder their city. Fewer still discover what it means to rule in the Kingdom.
Join me as I aspire to this noble task (1 Tim 3:1).

What is, "Elder My City?"
I know the word "elders" stirs up a lot of different ideas for people, but here it's all about exploring what it means to be a father in the home, an elder in the city, and eventually a ruler in the Kingdom.
If you're someone who believes faithful stewardship of your household qualifies you for city influence, and that both are preparation for Kingdom responsibilities one day, I invite you to join me in wrestling through these critically important roles.
These are critical roles for men, families, and cities today
Father in the Home
A father must first learn to oversee his home with grace and wisdom. It's the training ground for eldership. (1 Timothy 3:4-5)
Elder in the City
The father who manages his home well earns the privlege to sit in the "city gates" where he presides with wisdom. (Proverbs 31:23)
Ruler in the Kingdom
Christ rewards faithful stewardship of our home and city with authority over cities in the age to come. (Luke 19:17-19)
