Faith Lived Out ~God’s Wisdom for Marriage & Becoming a Submissive Wife

108 ~ 2 Essential First Steps to Becoming a Submissive Wife

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. 
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. 
Let's get started.

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 believe that God used Troy to help Shannon see her need for the Lord and that she couldn’t do this on her own and in her own strength. Then He used Shannon, as a faithful woman of God, and a faithful wife, to reach her husband.
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.

101 ~ How To Receive God's Best For Your Marriage

Who wouldn't want to receive God's best for their marriage? As believers, we read about God and His blessings in scripture and we all want God’s best for our own lives. We want to receive His blessings for ourselves, our marriages and for our families.
But how do we do this? Does both you and your husband need to live nearly perfect lives to receive God’s best? Are you afraid that maybe you’ve made a mistake or too many mistakes and now this is impossible for you? 
Are we being a bit over presumptuous to even think we could receive His best? Or that maybe to seek God’s blessings in our lives is a part of the prosperity gospel that we have been warned to stay away from.
There is one simple truth, that I’m going to share with you today, in how we as believers can and do receive God’s best for ourselves and our marriages.
Let’s get started.
