What does it really mean to be a submissive wife? Is it to be a doormat? That you can't have your own opinion or that your life consist of being some kind of slave to your husband? Does being a submissive wife mean that you have relinquished to the fact that you are inferior in some way?
 
Today we're going to take a look at one of the most commonly misunderstood commandments in the Bible. What it truly means to be a submissive wife, why we fight it and how we live this commandment out in our marriages.

I see so many on FB who say they are alone and have no christian friends or that their only friend is their husband. Those who are struggling in life, in their marriages, their families, or with their jobs. 
 
Our Christian walk was never meant to be done alone. All throughout scripture God talks to us about having fellowship with other believers. And even warns us that we are actually in some pretty dangerous territory, if we try to do it on our own, without anyone to walk beside us.
 
In this episode we’re taking a look at what’s referred to as the “one-anothers” in the Bible, the dangers of not having christian fellowship, and how to change this by being intentional in developing relationships with a few close friends.
 
Let’s get started.

Being a submissive wife doesn’t mean that we must simply take everything that is thrown at us with meekness and fear. Or that we have no say in anything and cannot stand up for what is right.
 
God has called us, as believers, to stand firm in Christ. He has also provided us with the authority and guidance to help bring those who are falling away, back to God. This includes reproving our husbands in love and encouraging them to stay faithful to God’s Word.
 
This is a very delicate thing in a marriage and can cause severe problems if not done correctly or with the right motives. Today we are looking at God’s provision and instruction for wives on standing firm in the Lord and how to reprove your husband. 
 
You'll definitely want to take some notes, so grab a pen & paper and . . .

Being a submissive wife in a difficult or unhappy marriage is just that, difficult. And certainly not what any of us thought it would be like when we dreamed of being married. 
 
Thankfully, God is not only well aware of the sinful nature of His people, but His Word is full of wisdom as to what to do as a godly wife with a challenging husband.
 
Join me as we dig deeper into all that God’s Word teaches us on how to conduct ourselves to bring peace to our homes, of His complete sovereignty over our lives, and the protection that He provides for us.

There are many women who ask, “Am I still called to be submissive if my husband _____?” If my husband isn’t a believer, if he's a believer but not following God, or if I can’t trust him. What do I do then?
 
Most of us probably know that we are not called to be submissive if our husband asks us to sin, but what about these other scenarios? Are we still called by God to be submissive to a man who does not appear to desire to be godly or that we have lost our trust and faith in?
 
Join me today as we search the scriptures for answers as to how to be a submissive wife in a difficult marriage.

We all want love, affection and closeness in our marriages. We remember the way things were when we were dating or first married and want it to stay that way.
 
As we talked about in part 1, when this begins to change or when our marriages are not what we expected, we try to bring about change. However, we find that our efforts are not having the effect we want them to and we don’t understand why. 
 
In this episode, we’re continuing our look at the 4 things wives do that tend to push their husbands away and what we should be doing instead.
 
As we did last week, I’m going to ask you to take some notes. So grab a pen and paper and let’s get started.

As wives we desire love, affection, and closeness with our husbands. Wanting things to be how they were when we were dating or first married.
 
When this begins to change, we miss the closeness and fear we may be losing our husbands. Or when our marriage is not what we expected, we try to bring about change. However, many times it’s done in a way that is counterproductive, and we don’t even realize it. 
 
In this episode we’re looking at 4 things wives do that tends to push their husbands away and what we should be doing instead. To help us live this out, I’m going to ask you to take some notes. So grab a pen and paper and let’s get started!

As believers, we hear the terms denying self or dying to self in our Christian circles. On the surface, it can seem that we are called to live a sacrificial life of minimal wants and desires. One that only consist of putting everyone and everything before ourselves. 
 
Denying ourselves to follow God does require a sacrificial love and service for others, but it also includes a beauty and security that can only be found in Him. A comfort and peace in living out God’s will for ourselves and our marriages. 
 
Join me as we chat about what it really means to die to self to follow God, as well as the beauty and security that is provided to us as we do.
 
Let’s get started.

It's the season to be thankful, grateful, and blessed. But what if things aren't going so well for you right now? If times are tough and you're struggling to just get through the day? 
 
We are called to give thanks in everything, but sometimes, in the midst of chaos and difficulties, it can be hard to muster up any kind of thankfulness. And if we do, it’s fleeting at best.
 
So then how do we follow God’s Word in this and have a true heart of thankfulness when our lives seem to be falling apart around us. 
 
If this is how you’re feeling today, I invite you to pull up a chair next to mine, and join me as I share how we can have a thankful heart that brings peace, even in the midst of life’s challenges.
 
Let’s get started.
