Is a wife really called to be submissive to her husband in everything? What if her husband isn’t a believer, he's making the wrong decision, sinning against her or asking her to sin? What does she do then? I believe that many women suffer needlessly under the guise of being submissive to their husbands, when what God really wants, is for them to stand firm in their faith. Join me for a candid, heart-led journey through the pivotal moments when a wife must choose to obey God by obeying her husband or prioritize God over her husband. Because there can be a rather fine line between when you’re to be submissive and when you're not, and the fact that how you decline your husband‘s request is equally important, you will probably want to take some notes today. So, grab your pen and paper and let’s get started.

In a world that says, “Have it your way and have it right now,” patience is not something that is cultivated or portrayed much in our society. So then, what does having patience in marriage really look like? As a Christian wife, what are ways that you can portray patience, and how is it that those who do portray this also seem to have a sense of peace about them? Where does that come from? Join me for a candid look at family tension, discovering how trusting God’s timing changes responses, and learn concrete ways to listen, empathize, and answer with love instead of impulse. With simple communication steps and a prayerful heart, this episode shows how patience becomes a gift you give your marriage — and yourself. Let's get started.

At one point in my marriage, I had tried everything—manipulation, fixing, controlling—only to be frustrated because nothing worked. Most of my efforts were more about fixing my husband than myself, until I realized I was doing it all wrong.

Through small acts of surrender, prayer, and learning God’s design for marriage, I discovered how the Holy Spirit quietly transforms our hearts—mine and my husband’s—and how releasing control became the doorway to a 42-year love story rebuilt by grace. Join me today as I show you why and how to trust God for the transformation you want to see in yourself and your marriage. Let's get started.

This week, I'm walking you through the delicate art of correcting your husband without sacrificing your respect for him. Using real-life examples, scriptural insight, and practical steps, I will help you to discern when to speak and when to stay silent, how to choose battles wisely, and how to distinguish between personal correction and a biblical reproof. You will learn a step-by-step approach of prayerful preparation, timing, affirmation, clear examples, patient silence, and collaborative solutions—plus how to reprove sin in a way that points back to God. Let's get started.

In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on a struggle every married woman faces: the sting of being corrected. Beginning with a personal story—growing up in a prideful home and a small but revealing moment involving an apple and a spoon—I will set the stage for some honest reflection. I will also lead you through a compassionate, scripture-rooted journey: where you'll learn to pause and pray, ask for clarity, search the Bible for truth, humbly accept responsibility, and make an intentional plan to change. Each step will transform defensiveness into an opportunity for mutual sanctification and deeper unity. This practical roadmap will help you receive correction with humility, restore tenderness in your marriage, and walk together toward Christlikeness. Let's get started. Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Romans 12:2 Psalms 32:8 Colossians 3:16 Proverbs 9:9 Romans 3:23 Galatians 6:4-5 James 5:19-20 Proverbs 16:18 Proverbs 9:9 Proverbs 29:11 Psalms 139:23-24 Colossians 3:13 Hebrews 8:12 Philippians 2:3 1 Corinthians 10:24 Matthew 5:23-24 Proverbs 28:9 🌟Likeminded Wives Gathering October 14th!

As godly wives, we are called to be submissive to our husband’s leadership. We know that God has given him the responsibility as the head of the household to be the decision-maker of the family. But what if we don’t agree with his decision? What if we are concerned with the consequences, with what seems to be a lack of responsibility or understanding of the situation, or we just think it’s a bad idea? What do we do then? Today, I’m sharing the same 4-step process that I use in making decisions with my husband. This will also be especially helpful for those times when you don’t agree with his decision or in how he is handling the responsibilities of the household. As a bonus, I will also be sharing with you the verses I use to pray over my husband and myself, verses that help us to be on the same page and in unity with our decisions. Let’s get started.
