Where Are You? The Spiritual Leadership Crisis in Christian Marriage

She's leading the family devotions. She's up praying at midnight for a marriage, a prodigal child, a husband who hasn't opened his Bible in months.
He's not a bad man — he's just checked out. If that's your home, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Sherman and Semise Daley tackle the spiritual leadership crisis head-on — the growing number of Christian homes where the wife has become the spiritual engine while the husband has quietly stepped back. No shame, no sugarcoating, and no dodging the headship-versus-servant-leadership conversation everyone's arguing about right now.
What we cover:
• Why so many wives are carrying the spiritual weight of the home alone
• The MRM three-level framework: what's happening externally, internally, and philosophically in a spiritually checked-out marriage
• Sherman and Semise's own story — where he coasted and she gripped tighter
• What biblical headship actually means (and why it's not what most people think)
• Servant leadership modeled by Christ, not control dressed up as authority
• 3 practical steps couples can start tonight
Key Scriptures:
Genesis 3:9 · Joshua 24:15 · Ephesians 5:21, 25 · 1 Corinthians 11:3 · Mark 10:45 · 1 Peter 3:7 · Deuteronomy 6:6-7
