Are you longing for a new beginning in your marriage as the new year begins? Has there been challenges, disappointments, or do you feel that you and your husband have grown distant this past year? And now you’re yearning for a deeper connection and renewed joy in your relationship.
This episode is for every wife who wants to break free from old patterns, let go of past hurts, and discover how God’s grace, forgiveness, and hope can help you and your husband start fresh—no matter what last year held.
Together, we’ll explore practical, biblical steps to renew your relationship, restore your hope, and embrace God’s beautiful design for your marriage in the year ahead. If you’re ready for a fresh start to real change and lasting growth, today is for you.
Let’s get started.
After the busyness and glitter of Christmas fades, the worries that you set aside during the holiday can come rushing back — bills, marriage strains, health fears, sleepless nights. But God’s perfect peace can calm all your fears, even in the midst of the storm.
Join me as I share 5 simple, biblical steps, you can start today, to experience the kind of peace that surpassing all understanding. One that will transform your anxious heart to one of quiet trust and rest.
Don’t wait another day to hand your burdens to God and experience a peace that doesn’t depend on circumstances or life changing. Short, hopeful, and deeply encouraging — this episode is for any woman longing to trade fear for faith and find rest in the storm.
Let’s get started.
The allure of these subtle temptations are not immediately apparent, making it difficult to recognize and resist them. Instead, they subtly infiltrate your heart, quietly eroding your joy, your relationship with God, and your marriage.
If someone were to inquire about these feelings, you would likely deny them outright. However, they have a subtle way of creeping into your heart, going unnoticed until their outward impact on your relationship becomes evident.
Before you know it, your thoughts are consumed by what you see is lacking in your life, the man you wish your husband would be, or the dreams of a different life.
Today, we will explore how to identify the signs of these quiet sinful desires, learn the emotional, spiritual, and relational consequences of harboring them, and discover practical, Christ-centered steps to renew your heart and mind.
Let’s get started.
Money can be a significant source of stress and conflict in marriages. You might be concerned about making ends meet, or you and your husband may have differing opinions on spending and saving. Trust issues around finances or the constant anxiety about money can also be factors.
However, I have some good news. God has a better way to handle your finances. By aligning your financial practices with His Word, you can experience peace, unity, and even blessings in your marriage.
In this discussion, I’ll share six biblical principles for managing finances according to God’s Word. These principles will help you trust God more, strengthen your relationship with your husband, and enjoy the freedom that comes from obedience.
Join me as we seek God’s Word together and what it teaches about handling your finances.
Let’s get started.
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 God’s beautiful design for marriage, He has crafted specific roles for husbands and wives. Your role as a wife is to be your husband’s helpmate.
You were created with the necessary gifts and abilities to be the essential companion to your husband. You are the only one who fills this role in his life. To proudly stand beside him, encourage him spiritually, and support him in his leadership of the family.
In this episode, we’ll cover ten practical steps, rooted in Scripture, to help you to live this out, enriching your marriage and creating a nurturing environment for both of you. Watch how humble obedience and loving support deepen your marriage, reflect Christ, and bring lasting, beautiful change.
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.
In this episode, I’m talking about the tactics that the enemy has used in my own marriage —first of my husband’s sudden change of heart and later with my own discouraging thoughts. Listen and learn what spiritual warfare looks in everyday marriage and how faith, prayer, and God’s armor turned a crisis into a testimony.
You will hear concrete examples of the enemy’s tactics—doubt, condemnation, isolation, distraction—and learn the simple steps to take your thoughts captive, rebuild trust, and protect your family. This is an invitation to see the battle clearly, stand together, and let God’s truth restore hope and unity in your home.
Let’s get started.
Every marriage has its moments when things feel off — the quiet distance, the bickering, the tension that won’t quit. In this episode, I’m sharing the same steps I use to recognize and address these issues quickly, allowing you to realign and restore harmony in your relationship.
Listen and walk away with practical, scripture-centered steps to assess, give space, and bring calmness to alleviate any tension in your marriage and help you to reconnect with your husband.
By applying these strategies, you can cultivate a nurturing and loving atmosphere that not only deepens your bond but also strengthens your relationship.
Let’s get started.
Have you tried to break free from the sin in your life only to take three steps forward and two steps back? Are you frustrated by the same mistakes that feel impossible to shake. In this episode, I share a four-step process, rooted in Scripture, that will turn your stuttering progress into a steady transformation.
Through humble self-examination, confession, practical replacements for sinful habits, and reliance on the Holy Spirit, each small, faithful tasks will add up to lasting change.
Listen in as faith, hope, and practical wisdom meet — and learn how to move from repeating patterns to becoming the woman and wife you long to be.
Let’s get started.
I thought it was his fault—until a quiet lunch revealed the truth. In this episode, I’ll take you on a candid journey from pride and defensiveness to humility and healing, uncovering five common habits that will make or break your marriage along the way.
Be warned, as I will be inviting you to pause, reflect, and ask yourself a tough question: does the change in my marriage need to start with me? Each habit comes with clear signals to watch for, what to replace it with, and how the new, Christlike response will reshape your home.
Tender, challenging, and warmly practical, this episode equips women to choose humility over pride, appreciation over complaint, and transparency over secrecy—offering both hope and concrete next steps for a marriage that reflects God’s design.
Let’s get started.
Too often, the busyness of life along with the frustrations of any given day, get in the way of showing any kind of appreciation or gratitude for the blessing your husband is in your life.
This is all a part of the enemy’s plan to keep you distracted from what is good and to only focus on what is going wrong or not quite the way you want it to be.
Come take a quiet moment with me to remember the blessings hiding in everyday marriage. To push past the busy distractions to a fresh gratitude of ten simple, biblical reasons to be thankful for your husband today.
With stories, Scripture, and gentle encouragement, this episode shows how honoring your husband’s work, leadership, protection, and shared faith can rekindle joy and strengthen your relationship. Listen, reflect, and leave with a practical heart-shift that turns criticism and complacency into love and appreciation thankful heart.
Let’s get started.
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.
Let’s get started.
When fear, past hurts, or self-reliance keep you from fully supporting your husband, peace and unity can feel out of reach. 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.
Through Scripture, my own personal stories, and a listener’s testimony, I will show you how a conscious change of heart—rooted in God’s sovereignty—can transform communication, restore respect, and bring peace to your relationship.
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.
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.
Let’s get started.
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.
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.
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.
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.
