110 ~ God's Purpose For Every Christian Wife

Last week we looked at 19 character traits that we are striving to posses as a godly wife.  In God’s design for marriage, we use those character traits as we carry out God‘s purpose for our lives.
Which begs the question, what is God‘s purpose for me as a wife? What has He called me to and what should my priorities be in living the Christian life as a married woman?
Join me as we uncover how God has created women with a unique purpose and how to live it out in a way that glorifies Him. We will also discuss the importance of being a helpmate to your husband, embracing the role of parenthood where applicable, and making peace with God's specific plan for your life.
Lastly, we will see how your spiritual gifts serve as a blueprint for fulfilling your God given purpose.
Let’s get started.

106 ~ Discovering the True Gift of Christmas ~ Faith and Love in Christ

With the busyness of the holidays and wracking our brains in trying to figure out the perfect gift for everyone on our Christmas list, we can lose sight of the precious and amazing gift we have received in our Lord Jesus Christ.
So today, let's steer ourselves away from the commercial busyness to focus on the invaluable gift received in Jesus. As we look at scriptures from Isaiah and the Psalms, we will reflect on the significance of Christ as our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.
I pray that you are encouraged as we dive into God's wisdom, grace, and forgiveness, discovering how these divine gifts impact our daily lives and marriages.

104 ~ A Powerful Testimony of How God Used a Faithful Wife to Reach Her Husband with Guest Shannon Davis

In this inspiring episode, we have the privilege of hearing Shannon Davis share her powerful testimony of God working in her life and her marriage. After 20 years apart, God brought Shannon and her husband Troy, back into each other's lives and He did so for a purpose.

I’m so excited to share this with you.

102 ~ How to Cultivate a Heart of Thankfulness That Brings True Peace and Lasting Joy

For many of us a heart of thankfulness doesn’t come naturally. We may have grown up in a home where there was negativity, a sense of entitlement, or selfishness and therefore not taught to be thankful.
Our society and sinful nature does not promote being grateful but rather a focuses more on I want what they have or always wanting more.
We want to be that thankful woman who radiates joy and peace in her life. But, how did she get that way? Was she always thankful and it just came naturally for her? Or like so many of us, did she have to work at it? And if so, what did she do to change her way of thinking?
Join me as I share with you some practical steps on how we can all have a heart that cultivates thankfulness for lasting joy and peace in our life.
Let’s get started.
