Summary

Jerrad and Layla have an honest conversation about spiritual growth, emotional maturity, and what it looks like to share the mental load in marriage. Layla opens up about her journey from spiritual complacency to discipline, and how one small decision changed everything. They also dive into parenting, baptism, moving across the country, and how to lead your family with humility and purpose.

What You’ll Hear:

What it looks like to move from spiritual apathy to daily discipline
Why abiding in Christ—not behavior modification—produces lasting fruit
A real-life example of how small daily decisions impact the whole family
Understanding the invisible “mental load” and how to share it well in marriage
Why your kids may not be ready for baptism (and how to talk about it with grace)
How to know when it’s time for a new chapter in life or a new church
Why spiritual leadership starts with quiet obedience, not platform influence

Tune in to reflect on how abiding in Christ transforms your home, your marriage, and your legacy.
