Spiritual Leadership

I'm joined by guest Caleb Gordon as we discuss spiritual leadership in the family. Here are some show notes from Caleb: Men, start by doing this: before you go to bed, take time to read a Psalm or Proverb with your family. Start with Psalm 1. Take time to read it aloud with your wife and children. It’s six verses, but those six verses pack a punch. Make it a goal for you and your family to MEMORIZE these six verses together. Psalm 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Then after that take time to pray with your family. LEAD the prayer…it does not have to be eloquent. Pray to the Lord from your heart. Here is an acronym to help: PRAY P – Praise: Take time to praise God for who HE is. “Thank you, God for being so good to us as a family and providing the way you have.” R – Requests: Present your requests to the LORD… “Father, tonight we want to pray for (name the person or situation).” Ask God to a work in that person’s life or situation. A – Apologize: Take time to repent of your own sins before the Lord and in front of your family. “God forgive me of my sinfulness. Where I have fallen short and been hateful today, please forgive me and cleanse me from that, Lord.” Y – Yield: Where the Lord convicts of sin, yield to His will and follow His direction for your life. “LORD, help me to follow and love You more tomorrow than I did today. Help me to obey and trust You more as I walk through the day. “ These are simple ways to start leading your home and moving forward to do the same in the places where you go in your everyday life. https://www.calebgordon.org https://aaronstroman.com
