Summary

 In this episode, Jerrad  shares what it really means to lead your marriage. He talks about the call to love your wife like Christ loves the church. He shares moments from his own marriage and explains how that love is more than romance or duty. It’s sacrifice, forgiveness, and intentional spiritual leadership.

 What You’ll hear:
• What it actually means to love sacrificially, not just kindly
• How intimacy grows when forgiveness becomes a lifestyle
• Why your marriage is meant to reflect God's love to the world
• How to pursue your wife emotionally, spiritually, and practically
• What servant-hearted leadership looks like day to day
• How confession and sanctification shape both husband and wife

Tune in to discover how a gospel-centered marriage isn’t about perfection. It’s about faithfulness, sacrifice, and showing your family what the love of Jesus really looks like.
