25-157 Spiritual Leadership in the Home

Your family is watching. Every word you speak, every decision you make, every moment you lean into God—or don’t—shapes the spiritual atmosphere of your home. You may not feel ready or equipped, but if God has called you to lead your family, He will speak to you as you do it.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." — Joshua 24:15

Spiritual leadership isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present—and surrendered. Joshua didn’t say, “As for me and my house, we’ll figure it out as we go.” He made a declaration. A decision. A stand.

As parents, we are the gatekeepers of our homes. We decide what is allowed in spiritually and what is kept out. And that leadership isn’t just lived in big moments—it’s lived in the ordinary:

* Choosing prayer over panic.

* Choosing Scripture over popular opinion.

* Choosing to model faith when your kids are watching—and when they’re not.

Your children need to see you seeking God. They need to hear you bless the family before dinner, repent when you fall short, and speak life over them when they’re discouraged.

They also need you to fight spiritually. That means standing on God’s Word when fear tries to enter, praying over your spouse and children daily, and keeping your home set apart for God’s glory.

Spiritual leadership is not just your role—it’s your assignment. And no matter your past, God has equipped you with everything you need to lead well. You just need to answer the call.

Question of the Day:What is one specific way you can step more fully into spiritual leadership in your home this week?

Mini Call to Action:Declare out loud today—“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Then act on it in one visible, intentional way before the day ends.

Let’s Pray:Father, give me the courage to lead spiritually with humility and strength. Let my home be a place where Your presence is known and Your Word is honored. Teach me to walk with You, so my family can follow. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!Your home doesn’t need a perfect leader—it needs a surrendered one.
