In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’re talking about what it feels like to live in a world full of uncertainty—when bombs are being dropped overseas and emotional bombs are going off in your own home.
With growing tensions between Israel and Iran and news of U.S. involvement, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the global instability. But for Christian wives married to alcoholics, the chaos isn’t just out there—it’s also right here, in the home. How do we process fear about the future when we’re already living in a constant state of survival? How do we prepare our families wisely when our husbands aren’t in a position to lead, protect, or even participate in the conversation?
We explore:
-
What to do when your alcoholic husband can’t offer the strength and stability your family needs
-
How to talk to your kids when they need reassurance
-
Why self-sufficiency and emergency planning feel overwhelming when addiction dominates your daily life
-
Practical steps to quiet your mind and lead your family in peace, even when the world feels like it’s spinning out of control
-
How to reset your spirit with Scripture and walk in God’s wisdom, not fear
We’re anchoring this episode in two powerful verses: Philippians 4:4-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything…” Matthew 6:25-34 – “Do not worry about tomorrow…”
If you're feeling anxious, under-equipped, or just plain tired of holding it all together—you’re not alone. This episode will help you take a deep breath, reset your mind, and find your footing again with God’s peace as your guide.
