What to Do When a Husband Won't Lead Spiritually?

About this episode

The episode discusses how wives can cope when their husbands do not lead spiritually, emphasizing biblical principles and the importance of gentle encouragement.

Today we dive deep into the heavy reality of wives who are carrying the spiritual load alone. We break down the biblical definition of headship—Prophet, Priest, and King—and explain how a wife can win her husband "without a word" through a gentle and quiet spirit, while also giving a direct, sobering call to men to repent and embrace Godly leadership.
