We talk a lot about how to become a submissive wife and what it takes to do so. Today, we’re going to look at the blessings that we receive as we strive to become the wife that God has called us to be.
In doing this, it’s not just about us becoming a better wife. But there are blessings that you will receive for yourself and as a family. Blessings out of your obedience to God, of peace & joy in your life, and the blessing of not only changing the tone of your marriage, but the possibility of saving it from ruin.
I have lived this and can tell you that there are significant lifelong blessings for those who are willing to embark on the journey of becoming a godly submissive wife. Join me today as we discuss what those blessings are and how you can begin to receive them.
Let’s get started.

Over the last couple years in doing this podcast, through all of my research and conversations with my husband, I have learned a secret about men. It’s one that I find most wives are not aware of, however it is vital to having love, peace, and joy in your marriage relationship.
This secret has to do with a man’s God-given desire in his role as a husband and how he perceives the thoughts and comments of his wife.
As I said, I have talked to my husband about this, I’ve talked to other wives who have asked their husbands about this, and we have all found it to be true.
So join me as I reveal to you this vital secret about respecting your husband, that every wife needs to know.
Let’s get started.

As much as we love our husbands, they can be rather frustrating. Making trying to respond to them with grace and love seem nearly impossible at times.
We also have the concern that if we show grace by letting a rude comment or them being a bit selfish slide, that we will be forever mistreated by our husbands.
But, what did God do? He showed us grace while we were still deep in sin and quite unlovable. He didn't wait for us to behave rightly before he responded with grace and nether should we.
Even though we know this to be true, putting it into practice can be a challenge. In this episode, we will chat about what grace really is, why we sometimes fail in showing it, and some practical steps of how even in those difficult moments, how to respond to our husbands with grace.
Let's get started.

In light of the unimaginable tragedy that has happened here in Texas, some of you have asked, "Where is God in all of this?" You're struggling to maintain your faith or to reconcile yourself against a God that you know loves His children, but then allows something like this to happen.
It's a complicated question, and my hope is to encourage you not to lose heart.
Together, we'll look to Scripture for answers, drawing from the life of Job—a man who faced incredible hardship yet remained steadfast in his faith. This isn't about diminishing the deep pain some are experiencing but rather offering support for those who are on the outside looking in. It's about understanding that, although we can't always see it, God has a plan and a purpose for everything.
Let's get started.

Today, we’re diving into how asking for forgiveness can bring healing and change to yourself and your marriage. I know, it sounds a bit scary and we often hesitate because of pride or fear.
But ladies, through the power of Christ, this single act can do so much. The enemy understands this power and wants to keep you in your depression, despair and hurt. Which is why he does everything he can to keep you from even discussing forgiveness. Let's not let him win!
We’ll chat about those secrets that you feel are too big to share and how to combat those negative thoughts with God’s truths. It’s all about breaking the chains of pride and opening the door to genuine communication and connection with your husband.
We will also go over exactly what this looks like so you can do it with confidence. It's time to discover what the simple act of asking for forgiveness can bring.

There is a lot of talk today about how husbands are not stepping up to be the spiritual leader of their family. How they are not taking the time pray with their wives or children, not leading in devotions, Bible study or in being the godly example we desire them to be.
As wives and moms, we are frustrated and discontent with this lack of spiritual leadership and in trying to get our husbands to step up to the plate to fulfill this role.
Today we’re going look at why men are not being the spiritual leader of their home, where our discontentment in this stems from, and how we can lovingly encourage them to embrace their God-given role as leaders.
I am rather riled up about this topic and you may be surprised as to why and what part of it has gotten me so worked up.
Let’s get started.

Since we were little girls, we have had thoughts and dreams of what our married life would be like. All of these were heightened when we found the man of our dreams and began to plan a life together.

We all have an idea in our mind of what a perfect relationship looks like. However, I would imagine that most of our ideas might be a bit one-sided in how our relationship is going to meet our own wants and desires.
In scripture, we are given the example of a perfect relationship in the Trinity. One that is characterized by unity, love, willful submission, and trust.
Today we'll explore this perfect relationship and how following its example will help you to be a better wife and nurture a more loving, Christ-centered marriage.
Let’s get started.
