Monday Devotion: Go First in Honor

In this week’s Equipped in 5, we look at Romans 12:10 and what it means to go first in honor. Biblical honor is not flattery or fake praise. It is learning to notice faithfulness, name it clearly, and encourage what God is doing in the people around us. This week’s challenge: Choose one man. Tell him one specific thing you see in his character, sacrifice, or faithfulness, and why it matters. Lead with strength. Serve with humility. Love like Christ.

Monday Devotion: Take The Lower Place

In this week’s Equipped in 5, we look at John 13:1-17 and what Jesus teaches us about servant leadership. Biblical leadership is not about recognition or control. It is about using our strength to serve others, carry responsibility, and take the lower place when love requires it. This week’s challenge: Ask, What burden can I carry before I am asked?

Ep 32 - God Should Not Be First In Our Lives!

Can a Christian put God first and still keep Him out of most of his life? Episode 32 carefully examines the difference between treating God as the first item on a priority list and living with Christ at the center of every role, relationship, resource, and decision. Grounded in Colossians 1:16-18 and 3:17, Corey explains how Christ's supremacy reaches home, work, money, rest, and the hidden motives of the heart. The episode ends with a practical Center Check that turns the idea into one concrete act of obedience.

Monday Devotion: Work Like It's Worship

Work Like It’s Worship Most of us spend a big part of life working, providing, solving problems, and carrying responsibility. But the real question isn’t only, “What do we do?” It’s, “Who are we doing it for?” In this week’s Equipped in 5, we look at Colossians 3:23 and what it means to work heartily as for the Lord. Our work matters to God, whether we’re leading a team, working with our hands, making sales calls, sitting behind a desk, serving at home, or doing a job nobody notices unless something goes wrong. But work is a good thing that can quickly become a terrible master. Our identity was never meant to depend on a paycheck, promotion, title, sales number, or somebody else’s approval. Christ defines us. That frees us to work with excellence, integrity, humility, and purpose without being ruled by our performance. This week’s challenge is simple. Choose one task and do it with excellence as an act of worship to Christ. Even when nobody notices. Even when nobody thanks you. Even when it feels small. God doesn’t just want our Sunday morning. He wants our Monday too. Lead with strength. Serve with humility. Love like Christ. Visit www.equippedtoleadpodcast.com for more episodes and to purchase the Built on Christ Devotional.

When your marriage feels distant, taking the first step can feel awkward and risky.

Monday Devotion: Lead at Home First

It’s possible for us to look faithful in public while being passive in private. We can work hard, serve at church, and help everybody else, then come home and give our family whatever patience, energy, and attention we have left. In this week’s Equipped in 5, we look at Joshua 24:15 and what it means to say, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Biblical leadership does not begin with a title, platform, or position. It begins with the people God has placed closest to us. Our homes do not need perfect men. They need humble, present, faithful men who pray, listen, repent quickly, love sacrificially, and consistently point their families toward Christ. This week’s challenge is simple. Lead one spiritual moment at home. Pray with your wife. Read Scripture with your family. Encourage your adult child. Pray with your kids before bed. Ask someone close to you how you can pray for them. Don’t make a big speech. Just take one faithful step. Lead with strength. Serve with humility. Love like Christ.

Ep 30 - Loving Your Wife When You Feel Disconnected: Part 2 How Do I Love Her When I Dont Feel Close

What do we do when we know we’re supposed to love our wife, but we don’t feel close to her? In Part 2 of our series, Loving Your Wife When You Feel Disconnected, we look at what covenant love requires when feelings are weak. Biblical love is not fake affection or pretending everything is fine. It is faithful obedience shaped by the cross and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Using Ephesians 5:25 as our foundation, we talk about the difference between emotional love and obedient love, why scorekeeping damages a marriage, how biblical leadership means sacrifice instead of control, and what it looks like to move toward our wife with steadiness, service, honor, curiosity, and repentance. We also get practical. Each of us is challenged to choose one clear act of covenant love this week and do it quietly, without demanding praise or keeping score. A husband’s first command is not control. It is love. And the shape of that love is the cross. In this episode: • How to love your wife when you feel emotionally disconnected • Why feelings make a poor foundation for marriage • The difference between fake love and obedient love • What Ephesians 5:25 teaches Christian husbands • Why scorekeeping turns marriage into a transaction • How repentance, service, and steady leadership rebuild trust • Gospel hope for husbands who know they have failed New Devotional AvailableMy new book, Built on Christ: A 30-Day Devotional, is now available. It was written to help Christian men build their lives on God’s Word, grow in biblical leadership, and become more faithful husbands, fathers, workers, church members, and followers of Christ.
