A former U.S. Navy SEAL is pointing to a key Christmas figure as a guide for men today. Jimmy Graham, a veteran of the elite military unit, highlights the role of Joseph, the husband of Mary.
Graham argues that Joseph’s actions before the first Christmas are a powerful example. According to the biblical story, Joseph demonstrated protective leadership and sacrificial love when he learned Mary was pregnant.
His faithful obedience, Graham suggests, offers a practical blueprint. The lesson is for modern fathers and husbands. It centers on putting family welfare first through decisive and selfless action.
Graham’s perspective emerges during Advent. This is the Christian season of preparation for Christmas, which celebrates the birth of Jesus.
