82. You Can’t Teach What You Don’t Live – Why Obedience Starts at Home

I never expected Exodus 4 to hit me like it did. God had just called Moses to lead His people out of slavery—yet on the way to Egypt, He nearly killed him. Why? Because Moses had ignored something God had already asked him to do.

In this episode, I’m getting honest about the places in our lives where we try to lead, serve, parent, or minister—while quietly avoiding obedience in our own hearts.

We’ll talk about:

• What happened between God, Moses, and Zipporah on the road to Egypt

• Why obedience in your private life always precedes spiritual authority

• How compromise creeps in, even in “Christian” homes

• And why we can’t teach our kids emotional responsibility if we’re not living it ourselves

This one is tender, sobering, and deeply personal—and I pray it helps you pause and invite God to meet you on the way, just like He did with Moses.
