Title: When the Lion Hurts the Lamb: Confessing What I Said to My Wife

Description:

This isn’t theory. This is confession.

I got in a fight with my wife last night. It was my fault. And this voice note is a raw unpacking of what happened, why I blew up, what I’ve learned—and where I saw Jesus show up in the wreckage.

I talk about:

• The old anger that still haunts me
• The moment I flipped to Luke 11 and read about spirits returning
• The toxic trap of putting spiritual expectations on your spouse
• Why “leading” without gentleness isn’t leadership—it’s control
• The war between the lion and the lamb inside every husband
• And the painful, holy grace of making real promises and praying for help keeping them

This is one of the most personal episodes to date. No mask. Just repentance, restoration, and a prayer for transformation.

• 00:30 – Fight recap: same pattern, same pride, but a new layer of humility
• 02:10 – Luke 11:24-26 and the fear of relapse into old spiritual ruts
• 03:00 – Quick apologies vs. slow decay: choosing confession over couch pride
• 04:20 – Why we hurt those we love most—and what Jesus would do instead
• 06:00 – The danger of projecting your walk with God onto your wife
• 07:20 – Misusing the Bible as a hammer instead of a covering
• 08:15 – Confessing the difference between Christlike love and cultural conditioning
• 10:00 – The lion vs. the lamb: which version of Christ are you imitating at home?
• 11:45 – Final prayer for healing, peace, and traveling home as a unified family

• Luke 11:24–26 – The return of the unclean spirit
• Ephesians 5:25 – “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church…”
• 1 Peter 3:7 – “Husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way…”
• 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My power is made perfect in weakness.”
• Lamentations 3:23 – “His mercies are new every morning.”

• “She should be spiritually where I am.”
• “Harshness can still be holy.”
• “I’m leading when I’m really controlling.”
• “I’m helping, even if I’m hurting.”

Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #12 — sometimes leadership looks like kneeling. This one’s for the husbands still being sanctified. You’re not alone. But you are accountable.
