Spiritual Leadership In The Home | Part 2

The Fully Alive Man Podcast

Description

As Men, we all feel confusion and insecurity around spiritual leadership in the home and disappointment because we’re not the leaders we want to be. In this episode, Lee and Robby conclude a two-part conversation on the topic of spiritual leadership, giving clarity to what our God-given role is and practical ideas on how we can own this responsibility and bring new life to our families.

Main Ideas

• You can’t fake your way to leading spiritually in your home.
• Being head of the household means loving your wife and sacrificing for her.
• Loving your wife means meeting her needs like you do for yourself.
• We naturally love and care for ourselves well; we are appointed to love our wives first.
• Let God love you and meet your needs so you can do likewise for your family.
• Blessings happen when you align with God’s design.
