The world is shaking, and yet, if you pause and look closely, you’ll see something remarkable happening beneath the surface. A spiritual awakening is stirring across the globe. You can feel it in the conversations online, you can hear it in the rise of worship music, you can see it in people showing up to church for the first time in years. And then came the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. Suddenly, faith and prayer aren’t just quiet whispers among believers—they’re on every headline, flooding social media, and sparking conversations everywhere.
In this episode of Wife in Bloom, I’m leaning into this moment in history to talk about what it means for us as Christian women to live boldly in a world that feels unsteady. We’ll start with the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, a man unashamed of the gospel, willing to lose everything for truth and the extraordinary strength of his wife, Erika. Her composure in the face of unimaginable tragedy is a testimony not only to her personal faith, but to the love and covering of a husband who cherished her deeply. Erika’s response reminds us that our first calling is home base. As wives, as mothers, as women of God, we are the first line of defense in our households. The atmosphere we create, the prayers we pray, the way we guard the gates of our homes, this is spiritual warfare, and it matters more than we often realize.
But this conversation doesn’t stop with their story. Just two weeks ago on this very podcast, I shared how God was convicting me to live more boldly in my faith. Little did I know that boldness would be tested almost immediately. Today, I share openly and vulnerably about a massive decision we’ve made. Just radical obedience to God’s call and we will talk about it all. It’s scary. It’s risky. But it’s also where I’ve found the deepest peace I’ve ever known. Because obedience to Christ may cost something, but it always brings freedom.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
✨ Why the current shaking of the world might actually be the start of revival.
✨ What we can learn from Charlie and Erika Kirk about boldness, faith, and trust in God.
✨ Why our homes are the first line of defense and how to create an atmosphere of faith there.
✨ My personal story of stepping out in obedience, to pursue the calling God has given me through Wife in Bloom.
✨ How you can step into your own boldness, whether that looks like prayer, forgiveness, obedience, or simply trusting God in the unknown.
This isn’t just an episode about the headlines, it’s about what God is doing in this generation, and how you, right where you are, can rise to the call. Boldness doesn’t always look like standing on a stage. Sometimes it looks like whispering a prayer over your child’s pillow, playing worship music in your kitchen, blessing your husband with words of life, or saying yes to the scary step God is asking you to take.
If you’ve been sensing that same stirring, that call to live more courageously, to trust God more fully, to put Him first in your marriage, in your family, and in your daily actions: this episode is for you.
