Struggling to lead by example when I'm failing
Been a Christian my whole life but lately I've been struggling with anger, gossip, and just general selfishness. My kids are watching all of it. I know I need to be the spiritual leader in my home but how do I lead them to Christ when I'm constantly messing up? Do I talk to them about my struggles or just try to be better? This is eating me up.
Man, that's real honesty right there. The fact that you're aware and bothered by it actually puts you ahead. Kids forgive and learn from seeing parents try to do better, not from seeing perfection.
