Being the Spiritual Leader of Your Family

Jordan and a very special guest, her husband Josh, explore the profound impact of a father's spiritual leadership on family faith formation, sharing personal stories of their 20-year journey balancing marriage, parenting, and religious practice.

In this episode you'll hear:
• Surprising research shows father-led spiritual leadership results in 44% of children continuing their faith into adulthood
• Josh's personal definition of manhood centers on leading, protecting, and providing with virtue
• Balancing men's spiritual growth activities with family responsibilities creates initial tension but long-term benefits
• Allowing family to experiment with different church attendance patterns demonstrated flexible leadership
• Both spouses play critical leadership roles, especially when one stumbles
• Consistency in faith practices, not perfection, makes the greatest impact on children

If your husband isn't taking spiritual leadership, don't wait - lead the family in faith while always inviting him to join without pressure or guilt. "I trust that you can lead us" may be the most empowering words a wife can say to activate her husband's leadership potential.
