We all know the we should give to the church. But how much do we give? What does God expect from us in this? What does following God's commands for this look like as a married couple?
 
There can be varying views on this in our society, however when we look at scripture, God makes it quite clear as to what His direction and purpose is for our giving.
 
So join me today for a look at the biblical principles of tithes and offerings, how to do this as a married couple, as well as what scripture teaches us about God's economy.
 
Let'g get started.

74 ~ What It Looks Like to Respect Your Husband and How You May Be Disrespecting Him Without Even Realizing It ~ Part 2

In this episode, we will continue our look at what it means to genuinely respect our husbands. What it looks like in our every day lives.
 
As I’ve said before, we are not only called by God to do this, but our husbands need us to show them respect in the same way that we need them to show us love. It’s a part of how God designed the marriage relationship.
 
If we don’t take the time to learn this, to truly apply God‘s word to our marriages, then we will continue to have problems. But, if we can get this right, if we can learn to respect our husbands and trust Christ in this, it will a game changer in our relationship.
 
Are you ready for this? Let’s get started!

Ladies, if we don't fully understand what it is to respect our husbands, we will continue to have problems. But, if we get this right, it will make all the difference in the world in our marriages.
 
Our husbands need this from us as much as we need them to show they love us.

72 ~ Unequally Yoked Marriage: From a Wife Who's Been There with Guest Melody Allen

Unequally yoked marriage is one of the most challenging situations a Christian wife can face, and in this episode, I sit down with my friend Melody Allen, a wife who has lived it firsthand. Melody shares with honesty and grace what years of being married to a non-believer has taught her, including the tactics she tried that pushed her husband further away, and the biblical approach rooted in 1 Peter 3:1-2 that is actually working.
Whether you married a non-believer knowing what Scripture said, or your husband has walked away from the Lord, this conversation is for you. God's grace meets you exactly where you are, and His Word gives you a clear and powerful path forward.
In this episode, you will discover:
Why the tactics most wives try in an unequally yoked marriage tend to backfire
What 1 Peter 3:1-2 teaches about winning your husband without a word
How to stay submissive and respectful when your husband does not share your faith
How the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 becomes a daily survival tool
Why building a strong support system is essential for wives in this situation
You'll probably want to take some notes on this one, so grab your pen and paper and let's get started.
 
If this episode blesses you, please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Your review helps other Christian wives find this teaching when they need it most.

71 ~ Abigail ~ A Picture of Strength, Faith, and Confidence in a Difficult Marriage

We are told in various places of scripture to have faith and to be strong and courageous. In most cases this is said when men are about to fight in some kind of battle or to take over a people or land. 
 
But in 1 Samuel we read about a woman who showed great strength, faith and confidence in her marriage to a man that scripture describes as being harsh and evil in his doings.
 
The woman’s name is Abigail and as we study her story and her character, I pray that you draw strength, hope, and confidence from her example.
 
Let’s get started.
