Join me as I show how three core beliefs of modern feminism have quietly reshaped our homes and hearts. Through some vivid examples—from sitcoms that normalize disrespect to everyday choices that sow division—you will see how these beliefs are eroding today's marriages. The beliefs of feminism go directly against God's design for marriage, which is why so many relationships are struggling to make it work. Today you will hear scripture brought to life, be invited to confront hard truths, and be given practical, faith-filled steps to restore peace, purpose, and joy in your marriage.

In this episode, I'll help you to walk through a powerful decision of choosing to trust your husband by putting your faith and trust in God.

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. In this episode, I'm sharing about my own journey of learning to stop pushing and start trusting God’s wisdom, presence, and power. 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.

Imagine standing at a crossroads in your marriage, knowing there’s a better way but unsure what it looks like. In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple, powerful map—four expectations from Scripture that guide a wife’s heart, speech, service, and motive. Through gentle stories, hard truths, and practical encouragement, I'll show how small choices each day can turn tension into tenderness and resentment into restored joy. As someone who has already walked the path that you are on right now, I know what the struggles are and how keeping these 4 expectations at the forefront of your mind can guide you through. Whether you’re wrestling with fear, anger, or selfishness, this episode offers hope: a roadmap to living out faith in your marriage that glorifies God and changes your home.

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.   Scripture References: Ephesians 4:29 Galatians 6:1 1 Corinthians 2:14 Proverbs 9:8 Matthew 18:15 Proverbs 12:22 Psalms 115:11 1 Peter 3:1-2   🌟Likeminded Wives Gathering October 14th!  Connect with other Christian wives for a time of learning, sharing ideas, encouragement, and more!   🌷Submissive Wife Study Guide ~ Download your free guide to begin your journey to becoming a better wife and to having the marriage God designed for you.

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.   Scripture References: Proverbs 31:26 Romans 12:16 1 Peter 3:8-9 Romans 15:5 Ephesians 5:22-24 Psalms 37:5-8 John 14:26 Proverbs 3:5 Colossians 1:9-11   🌟Likeminded Wives Gathering Next one is September 9th!

Seeking God‘s word for what it is to be a godly wife can seem a bit overwhelming. It’s not like the verses are all right there together, giving us the instruction that we are looking for, but rather they are spread throughout the Scriptures. Just because we find them doesn’t mean that we fully understand how to apply them to our lives today. Many of you have questions of how do I live this out in my marriage? What does this really look like on an everyday basis? To help you with this, I have gathered together six key verses for what it is to be a godly wife, as well as some practical steps for how you can live this out in your own marriage.  Let’s get started   Scripture References: Proverbs 31:30 Hebrews 11:6 Jeremiah 33:3 James 1:5 Ephesians 5:22 1 Peter 3:1-2 Titus 2:4 Proverbs 31:26 Ephesians 5:33 Proverbs 31:11-12 Titus 2:5 1 Timothy 5:14 Proverbs 31:13   Referenced Episodes: #17 ~ A Submissive Wife ~ What It Means and How To Be One #56-58 ~ Am I Still Called to Be Submissive To My Husband If ____?  #8 ~ The #1 Thing Your Husband Your Husband Wants From You 73 ~ What It Looks Like To Respect Your Husband   🌟Likeminded Wives Gathering Next one is September 9th!

When it comes to your relationship with your husband, what do you focus on? Is it on what needs to be done, the next task, or what it is that you would like to see changed or accomplished? Are you always looking at the gap in your marriage of where you are now compared to where you would like to be? Many of us do this; however, it causes stress by making us feel that we always must be working towards that next thing, as well as a lack of contentment because we portray an attitude that it’s never enough, we’ve never arrived. Today we’re talking about relieving some of that stress by making a simple change in your focus. How you can bring more contentment and joy into your relationship by learning to focus on 4 key areas in your marriage.

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 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.

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.   Scripture References: Job 1:8-12 Job 2:4-7 Job 36:22-23 Romans 11:33-34 Isaiah 55:9 Romans 8:28 1 Peter 4:12 Job 23:10 1 Peter 1:6-7 Romans 5:3-4 1 Peter 1:3   🌷Submissive Wife Study Guide ~ Download your free guide to begin your journey to becoming a better wife and to having the marriage God designed for you.

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.   Scripture References: Joshua 1:14 1 Peter 3:7 Proverbs 21:9 1 Peter 5:8 Ephesians 6:4 Deuteronomy 6:4, 6-7 Ephesians 6:1-3 2 Timothy 1:5   🌷Submissive Wife Study Guide ~ Download your free study guide to begin your journey to becoming a better wife and to having the marriage God designed for you.

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.   Scripture References Matthew 28:19 Matthew 3:16-17 John 3:35 John 6:38 John 16:13-15 Ephesians 2:4-7 John 17:20-22 John 14:26 2 Corinthians 13:14 I John 1:8 Psalms 139:23-24 Ephesians 4:22-24   🌷Submissive Wife Study Guide ~ Download your free study guide to begin your journey of becoming the godly wife you want to be and having the God designed marriage you've dreamed of.
