Description
The Wise Wife Podcast is for women who are standing for their marriage and refusing to surrender God’s design to passivity, fear, or cultural advice.
Hosted by Christian author and mentor Natasha Drisdelle, each episode brings biblical clarity, spiritual discipline, and practical instruction for women who are fighting the right fight — even when their marriage appears broken, distant, or beyond repair.
This is not a podcast about controlling outcomes or fixing your husband.
It’s about learning how to stand rightly before God, exercise spiritual authority, and partner with Jesus in the work of restoration.
Through Scripture-based teaching, real-life application, and hard-won wisdom, Natasha teaches women how to stop striving in their own strength and begin fighting with God.
It takes two to save a marriage: you and Jesus.

Some women who believe they’re “standing for their marriage” are actually stuck in idolatry.
Not devotion.
Not faith.
Idolatry.
Because if your husband leaving has turned you into an emotional wreck who can’t function, can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t think about anything else… that’s a type of worship, rather than biblical strength.
And on the other side of the story, many of the spouses who leave are also in idolatry.
But their idol isn’t marriage, it’s happiness.
They believe their personal happiness gives them permission to break their vows and sin against God.
So today we’re going to talk about the two idols destroying modern marriages:
The idol of marriage itself, and the idol of personal happiness.
And we’re going to look at one of the most shocking tests of loyalty in the Bible - when God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac.
Because sometimes God will ask you to lay down the very thing you wanted most, just to prove it’s not your god.
“Should Christians go to marriage counseling?” It’s one of the most common questions I hear from Christian wives in marital crisis. In this episode, I walk through the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow, change versus transformation, and how to discern whether counseling in your season will support sanctification, or reinforce control and victimhood. This conversation is about peace, alignment, and learning to move with what God is actually doing.
In this Wise Swipe Podcast episode, I teach from Hezekiah’s story (2 Chronicles 32; 2 Kings 19) to encourage women standing for their marriages. I explain how idols create open doors for attack, why scrambling and compromise never satisfy the enemy, and why God doesn’t need our help—He wants obedience, trust, and surrender. I share how mockery and fear try to intimidate faith, how reaping and sowing can bring painful but necessary consequences, and how deliverance came when Hezekiah humbled himself and appealed to God’s name. I also share my own experience of shifting from striving to surrendered prayer, warn that pride can follow breakthrough, and close with a prayer for repentance, healing, and renewed courage to trust God as our defender.

In this episode of The Wise Wife, Natasha addresses a blind spot many Christian women don’t realize they have: consuming voices that sound helpful, feel validating, and claim biblical values, while subtly contradicting God’s design for marriage, authority, and obedience.
Natasha walks through how spiritual compromise often enters quietly—not through rebellion, but through “good resources,” popular podcasts, bestselling books, and music we don’t think twice about.
She introduces the concept of covenantal hypocrisy: Asking God to bless a covenant we aren’t fully submitted to.
This episode challenges:
The belief that intention matters more than obedience
The idea that you can heal spiritually without repentance
The assumption that popular Christian advice is automatically sound
Natasha also addresses well-known marriage teachings that many women trust—breaking down why some advice appeals to the flesh, reinforces control, and bypasses true surrender, even when it’s labeled “biblical.”
This is an episode about discernment.
About influence.
About whether Jesus is truly Lord, not just Savior.
Natasha answers a listener question -- one that she receives often -- in how to navigate a prodigal husband who wants to "come home" but isn't showing any signs of repentance or remorse. In this episode, Natasha explains the biblical framework she uses to help make wise decisions when faced with difficult situations.

Today on the Wise Wife Podcast, Natasha explores praying "in the Spirit," including speaking in tongues. We'll learn about the power of this form of prayer for personal edification, intercession, and spiritual warfare and talk about why it's important for EVERY believer. Come with expectation and FAITH that you can be baptized in the Holy Spirit!
In this episode, we near the conclusion of our Armor of God series by recapping what we’ve learned about standing firm against evil, as outlined in Ephesians 6. This isn’t metaphorical or abstract; it’s preparation for a literal spiritual battle raging over our souls, families, and legacies. We explore the Bible’s depiction of an organized, hierarchical demonic realm and how understanding this reality transforms the way we view spiritual tools like prayer, fasting, and the armor of God. Natasha addresses misconceptions about the spiritual realm, explaining its structure and emphasizing that our good works empower our side of the battle, not to earn God’s favor, but to move the needle in this unseen war. She also warns against the dangers of becoming prideful or fascinated with spiritual authority, urging listeners to remain rooted in Jesus, who alone gives us victory. This episode challenges listeners to see spiritual warfare as real, urgent, and relevant to their daily lives, while reminding them that Christ’s power enables them to stand firm and finish strong.
In this episode, Natasha continues the Armor of God series with a deep dive into the Helmet of Salvation. She challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level understanding of salvation and instead embrace its transformative power. Natasha explores how the enemy targets our identity, distorts our purpose, and uses pride or shame to separate us from God. She unpacks what it means to have an eternal mindset, how salvation equips us to finish strong, and why our identity in Christ is the key to victory over spiritual attacks, especially when we are being called to fight for our marriage without signs of hope in our natural circumstances. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking deeper faith, clarity of purpose, and unshakable confidence in their salvation.
In continuing our study on the Armor of God, Natasha emphasizes the importance of actively using faith as a shield against the enemy's attacks, allowing us to advance into battle rather than passively taking the hits. Drawing parallels with Roman military strategies and Japanese samurai tactics to underscore the need for discipline, resilience, and unwavering faith, Natasha also highlights the significance of viewing our hardships as God's gracious discipline. With the shield of faith, we can be encouraged to charge into battle, trusting in God's promises and eternal rewards!
In this episode, Natasha reflects on how unprepared many of us are for marriage and the unrealistic expectations we can easily bring with us into our relationships. As we unpack the importance of allowing time and space for spiritual growth in both our husband and ourselves, Natasha takes us through the next piece of armor in our Armor of God series. Tune in to hear about the significance of preparing our heart and mind with the gospel of peace and how it will enable you to face the spiritual battles that come in both marriage and life.
When facing marriage breakdown, Natasha made the mistake of embracing self-righteousness and it only led to further destruction. In this episode, she explores the significance of true righteousness, found in Jesus, as she explores the breastplate of righteousness as a spiritual weapon. Natasha delves into the meaning of righteousness, the importance of faith and love, and the relationship between belief, actions, and salvation. She also encourages listeners to understand God's character, and their own authority in Christ, as they seek breakthrough in their marriage.
The enemy tries to deceive us and prevent us from knowing the WHOLE truth. We saw it with Eve in the Garden and his tricks haven't changed much since then. Today's episode emphasizes the significance of being able to discern real truth from partial and half-truths and how these half-truths can hinder our spiritual growth and understanding. For when we have the real truth, we can step out in confidence and clarity -- no more second guessing, no more fear of the consequences, no more being manipulated by the sinful actions of others.
Are you feeling totally overwhelmed at your circumstances? Are you tired of getting knocked down by the things your husband is saying or doing? In today's episode, Natasha shares a critical strategy to help shift your mindset from the natural realm -- what you see and hear -- to the spiritual realm. And it is in the spiritual realm where true and lasting change can happen!
The Bible tells us to not wage war the way the world does but to tap into the divine weapons we have through the authority given to us through Jesus. Today we explore the significance of the most powerful spiritual weapon available to us. In addition to experiencing the "fullness of life" we read about in Ephesians 3:19, embracing this spiritual weapon also leads us to better understand our spiritual assignment.
When Satan can’t outright convince you to embrace sin, he will try to get you to embrace faulty beliefs that keep you ineffective. One of the most common attacks I see in women who are obediently fighting to save their marriages is the sneaky exploitation of your own good intentions. In this episode, we talk about how Satan can exploit your desire for holiness by subtly convincing you that your good works are enough to save your marriage. Or, on the contrary, that you're not doing enough good works to deserve marriage breakthrough. But Jesus didn't come for a transaction -- He came to KNOW you and to introduce you to the love of the Father. Natasha shares her own story of coming to a better understanding of the Trinity and how each Person within it wants to know you for who you are, not what you do.
The enemy wants you to believe that you’re in a fight against your husband, that the fight is about changing your circumstances, and that because you see no sign of life in the natural, there is no hope of anything improving or changing for the better.But it's time to learn how to fight the right fight and use the powerful divine weapons that we have as part of our inheritance in Christ.
When we think about pride, we often think about boastful people who are full of themselves. And while that may be one sign someone is struggling with pride, there are many more (sneakier) ways that this common human condition can be hindering us and keeping us from the growth God has for us!Root it out and be free today so you can step into all that God is calling you to!
When marriages break down, there is almost always another person involved. Whether it's a full-blown physical affair or an emotional affair based in fantasy, the wife left behind often struggles with feeling inadequate when comparing herself to the other woman. In today's episode, Natasha shares why that comparison is inherently wrong and what you can do to safeguard yourself against it.
In the second part of our "helpmeet" series, Natasha shares more practical advice on how to best serve our families and some of the subtle-yet-powerful ways we can help create an environment which will lead to positive growth in our husband and marriage.
