What do you do when God is calling you to revival, but your in an unequally yoked marriage? Maybe your husband doesn't believe, or maybe he's skeptical about faith. I used to hide my Bible when my husband was home. I wouldn't pray out loud or play worship music because I was afraid of confrontation—afraid I might lose him over this.
In this episode, I'm sharing the interview I did on The Heal With God podcast with Heather O'Brien, where the Holy Spirit completely redirected our conversation mid-recording. We ended up talking about something we never planned to discuss: how to carry prophetic authority in your home when you're the only believer.
You'll hear my story of being married to someone who didn't want God in our home, didn't want our kids raised in church, and didn't want to hear worship music. But I stayed. I walked quietly. I listened for God's timing. And now, ten years later, my husband has been baptized—and I got to baptize him.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why revival doesn't wait for agreement—it starts with you
- How your conduct can win over an unbelieving spouse (1 Peter 3:1)
- The authority God has given every believer to overcome spiritual warfare
- Practical ways to disciple your children when your spouse isn't on board
- How to know when to speak and when to stay silent
- Why making your side of the bed matters more than you think
If you're in an unequally yoked marriage, this episode is for you. There is hope, mama. Revival starts in the home, and it starts with you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
