Christian Mentor, Bible Teacher, Speaker, Women’s ministry advisor, mom to 3, and Grammy to 7 sweet babies who are the light of my life. I see you and I get you, because I’ve been there. As a young wife it was important to me to have a strong, loving marriage, but I didn’t come from a Christian home so there was no example to follow for how to achieve that. All I knew was that I wanted a better marriage and family life than what I grew up in. Over the years the Lord has taught me how to find biblical answers to life’s questions in His Word and to rely on His wisdom, not the world’s for guidance and direction in my life. When we know His Word and apply it to our lives, then we will truly have peace as we trust our Heavenly Father for our marriages. This is what living out our faith is all about and it can bring you to new heights, life changing experiences, and amazing blessings in your life that you thank God for everyday.

Our tongue is one of the smaller parts of our body and yet, it can have a profound impact on our relationships, especially within marriage. It can either be our biggest problem or our greatest attribute. The choice is ours.
Many of us are aware of this because we have seen first hand the effects our tongue has had on those we love. How our words can just as easily lift someone up, as they can tear someone down.
Taming our tongue tends to be much harder than we would like it to be. Where does this demeaning or hateful speech come from and how do we change it?
Thankfully, God gives us His wisdom and insight in this. Join me as we look to scripture for how to control our tongue with our husbands, for a loving happy marriage.
Let’s get started.

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.

In our Christian walk, we often hear the term godly woman or submissive wife, and we know that this is what we are to strive for. But what does she really look like? What godly traits does she posses?

For us to have a good understanding of what we are striving for or where we are headed on our journey in becoming a Christian woman and wife. We are going to take a deep dive into 19 character traits of the virtuous woman described in the book of Proverbs.
I will be asking you to write some things down today, so grab your pen and paper and let’s get started.

No matter how hard we try, no matter how determined we might be, we will not be successful at becoming a submissive wife, without first doing two essential steps.
Yes, we may make some strides here or there, but lasting change, a true change of the heart, only happens when we are willing to put these foundational steps into practice.
How do I know? Because I’ve been there. I was the young wife who desired to do marriage right. Who longed to have a loving marriage that stood the test of time. It was a commitment to these 2 principles that made the difference.
Join me as I share two essential steps that will help you start your journey off right in becoming the godly wife that you want to be.

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.
Let's get started.

We will not only hear of Troy’s response to all of this, but how God took this changed man and now uses him and his wife, to serve the Lord in a mighty way.
