In this episode we are talking about the very common theme of "roommate syndrome" that inevitably shows up inside of our marriages. Why does it show up, what causes roommate syndrome to occur and how can we rid our marriages of it. How does Gods role in our marriage help alleviate this revolving and stagnant cycle from continuing when we focus on Him? Roommate syndrome is a physical side effect that reveals itself inside of a marriage when the spiritual nature of the marriage is being ignored. The marriage is hungry and it is not getting fed, so it sends a signal to us and tries to communicate with us to draw inward and draw our attention to the problem areas.Roommate syndrome does not mean you "married the wrong person", nor does it mean that you are "no longer compatible" or have "fallen out of love". It also doesn't mean that your spouse is solely responsible; but rather the slow decline of intentionality, forgiveness, and time spent in Gods word are revealing themselves within the marriage covenant. I am sure you are familiar with these very commonly used statements as they relate to marriage and I am here to tell you that non of these statements have a place in covenanted & biblical marriage and there is something you can do about it!Lets get ROOTED!Stay well & stay blessedTheRootedWife

In this 2 part episode, we talk about how destructive porn is in general but more specifically in marriage and within the covenant of marriage. How it distorts and ruins the intimacy between husbands and wives which is purposefully in alignment with the enemies goal in widening the wedge and causing marriages to die; physically and also spiritually. We live in a world that glorifies and nullifies the effects it has on humanity as a whole and how it makes its way into homes destroying the union and covenant bond. Besides the fact that God created the human body as a sacred physical representation of Himself, by being created in His image (Genesis 1:26-27). He also created sexual intimacy to be kept within the protective limitations of the covenant for the glory of our soul and spiritual beings as a way of preserving not only marriage but life itself. I pray this episode finds you well and that you receive the fullness of Gods message, wisdom, and knowledge to help enable conviction, healing and unity for your own marriage.

In this episode we explore the frequently asked and debated question; Can a marriage be successful if you aren't "equally yoked"? The short answer of it is YES, because with God ALL things are possible.We do not serve a limited God that is limited to our human abilities and perspective. In a marriage where there is an "unbelieving spouse" or a spouse who isn't actively seeking the wisdom and knowledge of God in order to strengthen and solve marital issues that arise that produce unity; the believer who actively seeks God, will and can receive the divine protection of God. That is the blessing of a covenanted minded marriage vs a contractual minded marriage. What we must realize first and foremost is that it is not about our spouse and their lack of obedience but our own. Are we ourselves living out the ways of God within our marriage or do we too allow our sinful nature to lead our thoughts, behaviors and actions? Are we being image bearers within our own marriages? Are we allowing ourselves to be changed by God OR the actions of our spouse and our own sinful nature that desires to rebel, be prideful, hold contempt, have unforgiveness, harden our hearts, remain stuck in our own ways, fall into hopelessness, faithlessness? Are we believing what the world says or are we believing God? Regardless of the success of our marriages who do we serve...God or ourselves? Are we dying to our old ways and being made new in Christ?Lets take some inventory!Lets get ROOTED!Stay well & stay blessedI apologize for the slight inconvenience of barking in the background towards the ending of this episode. The overall message I believe was far to great to scrap this entire episode. Thank you in advanced for your grace. TheRootedWife

In this two-part episode we are dissecting and analyzing the ways that we consciously and subconsciously idolize our spouse and marriages above what God calls us to do, and who He calls us to be. How we allow our flesh to control the ways that we show up, treat and work through our issues within our marriages. We are going to explore what it means to "die to yourself daily" in relation to our marriages and the benefits and blessings that come from doing exactly that.Doing marriage Gods way is not for the faint of heart because it means that there will always be areas in our marriages that we must take personal inventory and accountability for how we are showing up and in fact choose to die to ourselves, daily, if not minute by minute. The covenant is a sacrificial agreement we make with God, not just each other. Its a oath to God that we will show up and do what He asks of us not succumb to our feelings, emotions, frustrations, and dependence on one another's illusionary perfectionism, rather marriage will reveal just how much we are to depend on God.If the marriage covenant is a reflection of how Christ loved the church-the body, then we must really look at the actions of Jesus, what did He do for us? He died and He honored the Father regardless of the limitations of the flesh that He was in. In His weakest moments while in the body He cried out to God for perseverance, wisdom, knowledge, guidance, restoration, renewal; so that we may reap the fruits of His blessing. Such as marriage which will require the same. Jesus didn't die for us because we were "good", "right" or "perfect" He died because God is and we are made in His image. Once we see that functioning under the mindset of a "contract" is a fundamental flaw in the success of marriages we can begin to align our actions, words, behaviors, and habits to the WILL and way of God and realize that its all about Him, not each other. Putting God first allows us to receive the best parts of one another like the gift and blessings He promises us by doing so.Lets get ROOTED!Stay well & stay blessed& be sure to follow us @TheRootedWife on Instagram for the latest updates, live chats, and tangible application tips of the word in your marriage.TheRootedWife

In this two-parter episode we are exploring; What are the influences that have assisted us in the formation of our idea, opinion and view point about marriage? Its easy for us to never ask ourselves this question or even examine how it is we are entering our marriages and what ideas we are entering our marriages with that directly oppose those of Gods original intention and design. With daily life pulling us in so many directions and the proverbial loss and lack of time we can allow this area of our lives to go days, months, years and even decades without taking intentional inventory of HOW it is we show up in our marriages and the consequences of such; both positive and negative. What worldly mindsets are we bring into our marriages that are hindering our unity and union that are causing wedges? What if becoming more intentional and purposeful with how we are moving through our marriages cultivates the type of covenanted marriages our souls truly desire? Maybe by diving in and rooting ourselves with the foundations of Gods ways for marriage can we begin to experience a more fruitful and abundant marriage that truly depicts and showcases the love that Jesus/ Yeshua has for the body.

Continues from Part 1 we are exploring the different worldly programing that we can consciously or subconsciously be bringing into our marriages that aren't serving us or our spouses or the covenant mindset we are trying to incorporate. Lets get ROOTED!Stay well & stay blessedTheRootedWife

In this 2 Part Episode we are exploring the worldly programming that has no place in covenant marriages but has found a way to creep into our marriage gardens like an enemy seeking whom he can devour. I’m guilty of doing this which is how and why I know it’s toxic and has no place in covenant marriage.Your spouse isn’t like everyone else they are uniquely, wholly, and divinely made in the image of God. They have their own morals and values, their own character, their own story, their own mind, their own WILL, they are not like “ALL men” or “ALL women” so why do we generalize as a society so much? Maybe it’s easier to assume we are all the same based on our anatomy, since generalizations don’t require a need to understand one another but rather be right in our own eye. To actually look at our spouse as an individual rather then cast them into the pool of their shared gender. A desensitization and disconnection from the actual person and maybe even avoidance on getting to the root cause of an issue…Generalizations can have us placing labels on our spouses that they don’t deserve to wear. Has this program ever come up in your marriage? Its time to pull out these worldly weeds. Let’s get ROOTED!🌱Stay well & stay blessedTheRootedWife

What is a "Marriage Covenant"? We are going to explore what it is in this episode and why its not only important but fundamental in the unity and fruitfulness of our marriages. Have we been doing marriage "wrong"? Have we been going into marriage with a "contract" mindset or a "covenant" mindset because the way we show up in our marriages is a direct reflection on which mindset we are using. A covenant calls us to submit to the will and way of God where as contacts call us to answer to ourselves and rely on our own tools to create a fruitful and fulfilling marriage. But the problem with this is that we are all susceptible to "sin" so if we are not making ourselves obedient to God then what makes us think we will be obedient to the parameters of the contracts we have signed. What is the glue that holds us together when our feelings and actions are not matching the outcome we desire. Who and what influences our willingness to change, is it the world or the word? God outlines HOW we are to do marriage so in this series of "Marriage Matters- From the world to the word" we are going to learn about what God has to say. So lets get into it & lets get ROOTED!Stay well & stay blessedTheRootedWife

I have been made new by the righteousness of Jesus/Yeshua. I am His product, He created me and continues to mold and shape me into an image bearer of Himself, for He resurrected me from the living death of my flesh. I do not live for myself but for Him as a tool for Him to do His great works in and for other people and for this earth. My desires are His desires, my will is surrendered to His will. I am a lighthouse that shines His light. I am the vessel and He is now the spirit that resides in me. I seek to know what He wants me to think and do, who He wants me to be. I am surrendered and I am His product, I am no longer a product for this world, to be used and unseen, unloved, unappreciated. For He sees me, loves me, and wants me, not for my usefulness for He does not NEED me, but WANTS me and I want Him.

What is the cross that you were crucified on?We all have one or will have one, its apart of our journey and its apart of having our sin revealed to us. Its what bring us to our knees and makes us confess that Jesus is King, and our saviour. It is the realization that we even need one to begin with. It is the mirror of our humility for Jesus meets us in our weakness and brokenness, not our wholeness; if we were whole, we wouldn't need Him. But how many of us are truly "whole" with out Him? How many of us can say that we are perfect and without blemish?LETS GET ROOTED!!Stay well & stay blessed!

In order to be something new it means that something else has to die, In order for You to become a new creation it means your old self has to die. (Luke 9:23) Imagine having to die daily just so you can live? The ironic part is that many of us are in-fact already dead, in our soul, our spirit, in our thoughts, actions, behaviors, etc. We may be physically alive but we are all dead when we are separated from God. Because our very design and creation wasn't meant to live apart from Him. "Carry your cross"; a cross being an instrument of death. What is your instrument of death? Is it traumas you hold onto, toxic behaviors and thoughts, is it addictions, your tongue, false beliefs you hold about yourself and others, is it surface level indulgences, insecurities or maybe its avoidance of anything uncomfortable. What is your cross?Jesus said, " I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." (John 11:25)He is the living God that entered the flesh and conquered its death. So when we allow Him to enter our lives, our flesh, He too conquers our death and brings us back to life; mentally, physically, spiritually. We no longer WANT to live for ourselves but for Him. Living for ourselves is what brought us to our death after all; feeling empty, lacking value & purpose. Consumed with ourselves, living for ourselves, seeking our own avenues of revenge, happiness, desires, wants, pleasures. Yet it always leads back t the feeling of emptiness. Non of the above includes God or His will, it only involves us. When we are consumed with ourselves we cannot see the "bigger picture" we become weighted down by our cross. This is why we are to surrender it at the feet of our saviour. The saying "no one is coming to save you" is accurate because its already been done! We just have to realize it, we have to be willing to die to ourselves and be made new; brought back to life by Jesus/Yeshua and begin to live in alignment with His will and way. The one who knows all and sees all, whom created all. Are you a new creation?Are you willing to surrender the old for the new?Is your life serving you or are you serving it?LETS GET ROOTED!!Head over to my shop which is located in the link on my instagram page @TheRootedWife and grab yourself a copy of this devotional journal, you will not regret it!!

In this episode we dive MUCH deeper into analytical thought by looking at ecosystems. What is an ecosystem? Who creates them? Do humans have an internal ecosystem? If so, what are its requirements in order to function in its optimal desired state? If our internal ecosystem is the way in which we function; then it is important to look at what tools are required for us to attain in order to ensure that our lives aka our ecosystems run at their highest capacity to avoid dis-ease in the body. While simultaneously limiting the dis-ease in our world as we are directly intertwined with every other ecosystem on earth.Lets get ROOTED!

*some scratchy auto but bearable*Biblical Repentance- is a change of the mind, heart, and action, by turning away from sin and self and returning to God. It is not about how we feel, the things we have done or how determined we are to change, it is the act of change in motion.In this episode I talk about how I believe people have misunderstood certain meanings from scripture due to misinterpretations and misrepresentations by religions leaders and lack of personal due diligence. We see many times how leaders have used scripture outside of its context to manipulate people for reasons that are not of God. This is why having a personal relationship with scripture and the Holy Spirit are so crucial, so that we are not lead astray by people. "Repentance" has been known to make people feel a sense of shame, unworthiness, and "never going to be enough" mindsets which keeps people trapped, this is due in part because I don't think we understand truly what it is. I know many people that are not biblically rooted and they practice the act of repentance, however they may not necessarily believe in Jesus and this is a crucial flaw. Only through Jesus do we gain salvation, Because again, repentance isn't based on our merits but our ability to change the ways in which we think and act that hinder our highest good and do not align with the word of God, our creator. I know I have been blessed to have the Holy Spirit with me my whole life, however I was not practicing repentance, but that did not keep God away from me, nor did it stop Him from trying to reach me. However, I still had to enact my own free will to search and find out what His word was and meant, and then actively change so that I would see the change in my life. Religious/worldly repentance pulls us into shame, Biblical repentance pulls us into freedom and glory. *some biblical references:Jerimiah 26:32 Timothy 2:21Acts 20:21

My Personal Testimony with Abortion In this episode I am diving into my experience with choosing to have an abortion at 19 and it’s effects on my life. We are going to talk about how I found forgiveness and peace through Jesus and the word of God, and I am praying that through this episode if you are struggling with forgiving yourself or if you are trying to decide your next move and are currently pregnant, that you find clarity, guidance, insight, and peace. 
“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” -Psalm 107:20 Jesus meets us where we are and when He does, He never leaves us there.

In this episode I discuss how there is a move and a wave of gender affirming ideologies amongst children in our society. Curriculums are being changed in schools to include these theories for as young as kindergarten age. Doctors are writing prescriptions after single visit appointments, plastic surgeons are performing transitional surgeries that they are unqualified to perform and have not been done on children, and parents are being scared and ill-advised about what is truly going on with their children. How is this harmful? How does this effect you, your family and humanity, overall? Do you have a responsibility to speak on this matter? We are diving in and getting ROOTED!See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. – 1 John 3:1-3
