"Spiritual leadership in your home starts with surrender in your own heart — not performance in your own strength."
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
About This Pillar:
Leading a post-adoption family is unlike any other parenting role. You are leading children who may not feel a natural allegiance or may mistrust you due to their past experiences, often through behaviors that challenge your authority. It is tempting to lead from a place of fear, control, or exhaustion.
True spiritual leadership begins with surrender. It is the posture of a heart that trusts God enough to let go of the need to "fix" everything in your own strength. This pillar explores heart-centered discipline, the difference between management and leadership, and how to lead from a place of dependence rather than depletion.
