The Responsibility of Spiritual Leadership

May 25, 2020

Scott Hatfield is back on the podcast as we discuss how we as men can rise up to the responsibilities of spiritual leadership in our homes.

Discussion Questions:

1. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term “spiritual leader?” Who was the spiritual leader of your home growing up? What did you see exhibited well? What did you see done poorly? 
2. How do you feel pressure to lead your family well spiritually? What areas do you struggle with? What areas has your spouse or friends pointed out as blind sides in your life? 
3. Hatfield pointed out well that women were created from the side of man, not under or over him. Lived out well, men and women are different but equal. Where do you and your spouse work well together? What is an area of tension because of difference? How does the Spirit work through you to bring about unity in your marriage? 
4. Have you ever had a thought where you will “suck it up,” for your family and their well being? 
5. How do you serve your wife? What does she need most from you? How do you serve your kids? 
6. How would your spouse answer these questions: What do you need more of from me? What do you need less of from me? What would be most helpful from me? 
7. Knowing each other's capacity is essential. When do you tend to get overwhelmed? When does your spouse tend to reach their limit? How does your spouse lighten your responsibilities best? 
8. How well do you and your spouse date? What is your favorite thing to do together? 
9. What do your kids enjoy doing the most with you? How do you prioritize and schedule that?
