Brotherhood Forged is a Christian men's podcast helping men grow in faith, discipline, and leadership.

Episode 106 started with a text message. One of our brothers reached out to Joey an hour before our Wednesday night discipleship call and asked a question a lot of men are afraid to say out loud: "How do I actually lead my wife spiritually?"

What followed was one of the most real, unscripted conversations we've ever had. Joey Koontz and Paul Bengel walk through 10 lessons on spiritual leadership in the home -- from being emotionally present, to releasing expectations, to why consistency builds more credibility than any single grand gesture ever will. They also get honest about where they personally still fall short, which makes this one worth sending to every married man you know.

Books mentioned in this episode: "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackaby (12-week workbook) "Disciplines of a Godly Man" by R. Kent Hughes

People mentioned: Joby Martin (jobymartin.com), Brian Pruitt, Coach Lauren (Body and Bell), and community member Richie.
