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 r...

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,...

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 ...

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 c...

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?

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 marriag...

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.

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 de...

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.

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 ...

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?

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 ...

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 l...

As believers, we desire to be known for our faith. To come to the end of our days and hear, well done thy good and faithful servant. But how do we get there?

With all of the worldly influences that are around us, how do we live faithful lives as believers.
