Authentic Masculinity

The Imposter's Guide to Spiritual Leadership: Leading When You Don't Feel Qualified


Listen Later

"How can I lead my family spiritually when I'm still struggling with my own faith?" This question haunts countless men who feel the weight of biblical responsibility but carry a deep sense of personal inadequacy. This episode tackles the apparent contradiction head-on.

The tension between spiritual insecurity and spiritual leadership creates a paralysis that keeps many men from ever starting. Discover why this very insecurity might actually be your greatest qualification rather than a disqualification—and why those who never experience it should worry.

This conversation reveals a counterintuitive approach to family leadership that begins with vulnerability rather than authority. Learn why acknowledging your spiritual struggles creates more credibility than projecting false confidence, and how transparency about your journey invites others to join rather than resist.

For men who've been hesitant to step into spiritual leadership because of personal failings or inconsistency, this episode offers practical first steps that don't require pretending to be someone you're not. The path forward might look entirely different than you've imagined.
