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.
