Author: Lauren Washer

Someone tells you she’s unhappy with her husband’s spiritual leadership . . . oh dear.

Your friend may be getting at a genuine problem—or her dissatisfaction may stem from her own misunderstandings or expectations. Lauren Washer provides biblical background on spiritual leadership and questions to ask your friend so you can draw out what’s really going on in her heart and marriage. Finally, practical action steps help you encourage a productive, respectful conversation between your friend and her husband.

The Heart Talks series helps women respond to the concerns and struggles that arise in conversations with other women at church, in small groups, and elsewhere. In just a few pages, each booklet helps the reader understand the topic, ask the right questions, and provide wise, gracious, and gospel-centered guidance.
