In the latest episode of the Covenant Army Marriage Podcast, we explore the profound role of husbands as spiritual leaders in marriage. This journey is not about control or ego but about embracing a Christ-like leadership that nurtures and guides the family. Join us as we delve into the challenges and triumphs of leading with love and faith.

The Lie of Control: Many husbands struggle with the misconception that leadership equates to control. As Brent shares, "Leadership isn't about domination; it's about serving and guiding with humility." This episode unpacks the dangers of this lie and how it can disrupt the harmony in a marriage.

Practical Steps to Lead Spiritually: The episode offers actionable steps for husbands to step into their spiritual leadership role. From leading in prayer to nurturing faith, these practices are designed to strengthen the spiritual foundation of the home.

Guarding the Home's Atmosphere: Setting a tone of holiness and integrity is crucial. Brent emphasizes, "Be intentional about what influences enter your home. Guard the atmosphere to ensure it aligns with your values."

The Power of Testimony: Sharing personal faith stories can inspire and strengthen family bonds. "Our testimonies are powerful," Brent notes. "They remind us and our families of God's presence and faithfulness."

Walking in Truth: As the episode concludes, listeners are encouraged to reject lies, stand on truth, and lead daily with intention. "Leadership is a daily commitment," Brent reminds us. "It's about walking in truth and guiding your family with love."
