In this episode, I’m speaking directly to men.

Lead The Home is a place for strong men to be weak — a space for vulnerability, confession, prayer, and real transformation. I talk about the “line” between good and evil, how obedience moves us away from it, and why the wrestling between flesh and spirit is actually a sign that God is working in you.

We’ll talk about lust, anger, pride, and the hidden shame that keeps men from leading spiritually. We’ll also open Romans 7–8 and James 5:16 to lay out what Scripture says about the fight — and the freedom available in Christ.

If you’re trying to become the kind of man who can lead himself, lead his home, and glorify God without pretending you’ve got it all together… this one’s for you.

Key themes

• Lead The Home = vulnerability for strong men

• The “line”: good vs evil, consecration vs compromise

• Obedience moves the needle

• The wrestling is good (it means the Spirit is alive in you)

• Shame disables spiritual leadership

• Ego is a trap: it promises satisfaction but produces harm

• Volitional humility vs circumstantial humility

This episode isn’t polished — it’s honest.

In Episode 1 of Lead The Home, Chase and Kaylee Sossamon open their marriage, their failures, and their redemption to start a conversation most couples avoid.

From pornography, anger, and intimacy struggles… to obedience, confession, and spiritual leadership — this is the story of a marriage refined over 15 years through pain, accountability, and Christ-centered transformation.

Chase shares the moment he realized he was the greatest threat to his own family — and how Lead The Home began as a personal standard before it ever became a ministry. Kaylee speaks candidly about fear, defensiveness, forgiveness, and what it truly takes for a wife to follow a man learning how to lead.

This episode explores:

• Why men fear spiritual leadership

• How obedience changes character

• The danger of comfort becoming the goal

• How prayer dismantles shame and defensiveness

• Why intimacy breaks down — and how it’s restored

• The role of vulnerability in healing marriages

• What it really means to “die to self”

This is not a story of arrival — it’s a testimony of becoming.

If you’re a man who wants to lead his home with integrity, humility, and conviction…

If you’re a wife longing for safety, consistency, and spiritual leadership…

If your marriage feels stuck in the same argument year after year…

There is hope.

Lead the home. Put on Christ. Die to self.

Lead The Home is a safe place for strong men to be weak...

Rooted in James 5:16—“Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed”—this podcast is about spiritual leadership that starts with humility, honesty, and responsibility. Not perfection. Not performance. But growth.

Through real conversations, personal confession, faith, psychology, and lived experience, Lead The Home explores what it means to become a man who serves his wife well, leads his children intentionally, and confronts the parts of himself that cause harm instead of healing.

Because marriage and fatherhood don’t just reveal who we are—they reveal who we need to become.

This is a space for men ready to face their shadows, walk in truth, and lead their homes with strength, integrity, and love.
