This may be one of our most important episodes yet. Today, we answer the questions: What do you do when your husband is unwilling, unable, or unavailable to be the spiritual leader of your household? What if you're single or divorced and don't have a man to be the "head of your house?" What authority do we have as women/wives to take the "spiritual reins" for our family? We'll look at the story of one amazing wife who literally spared her husband from death with an amazing act of faith, as well as touch on multiple stories of other women who stepped in when the situation demanded it. We hope this episode sets a lot of women (and men!) free.
