Biblical Leadership in the Home: A Man’s Calling

Javier & Shannan Labrador Season 5 Episode 73

What does it really mean for a man to lead his home biblically? In this episode, we break down the often misunderstood concept of spiritual leadership through the lens of Scripture—not culture. Biblical leadership is not about control, dominance, or making all the decisions. It’s about humility, servant-heartedness, sacrificial love, and walking in step with Christ.

We’ll explore practical ways a husband can lead with grace and courage, how leadership impacts the emotional and spiritual climate of the home, and why leadership starts with following Jesus first. Whether you're a husband looking to grow or a wife seeking to support your husband's leadership, this episode brings truth, encouragement, and clarity for the journey.
