Hard Things: A Podcast for Christian Wives and Mothers

In this heartfelt season opener, Jamie shares the tender, Spirit-led journey that led her to begin homeschooling her children. This wasn’t just an educational pivot—it was a divine commission rooted in Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go.” Jamie opens up about how the Lord stirred her heart and how obedience, even when uncertain, became the doorway to purpose. This episode is...

In this final episode of season one, Jamie highlights three main points to remember as you move in your posture of mother and wife. Scripture References: James 4:7-10 NLT Matthew 6:33 NLT  Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NLT 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 NLT Galations 5:22-23 NLT

As wives, we are to help our husbands. It is important for us to be in continuous, intimate relationship with Christ so that we know when and how to help and when to hold. Scripture References Genesis 2:15-24 NLT Proverbs 31:12 AMP Ecclesiastes 3:7 AMP Ephesians 4:29-32 NLT Titus 2:3-5 AMP Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 AMP

In the busyness of raising children, we can sometimes neglect our spouses. In this episode, we will be reminded of the importance of putting our husbands above our children, for the children are passing through but our husbands are with us for a lifetime. Scripture References 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Ephesians 4:2-6 Ephesians 5:21-33 Matthew 7: 13-14

When hard times come, we sometimes feel like God is mad with us or we did something wrong. However, it's important to note that our character is developed in the hard times. Romans 5:3-4 (NLT) states: 3  We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.  4  And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our conf...

As mothers and wives, our responsibilities are vast. Therefore, we must be disciplined to ensure that we are holistically well and optimally postured to accomplish God’s purposes. Scriptural References Proverbs 31:15 Proverbs 31:27 Romans 12:2 John 10:10 Psalm 139:16

Our emotions can be beneficial, but if we do not keep them in check, they have the ability to steal, kill, and destroy. Let's ensure that our posture of mother and wife is being used to bless, uplift, and edify. Scripture References Genesis 3:1-6 Proverbs 31:11-12 1 Peter 5:7-8 Proverbs 18:20-22 Romans 10:9

The first three episodes helped us to know our purpose, have our priorities in order, and know that when God gives permission, we can still pursue our dreams even though the route may look different. But now, we need to talk about caring for ourselves, as we cannot pour from an empty cup. We should have a disciplined prayer life, exercise life, and time apart from our job. Scriptural References: 1...

As we battle with leaving our work outside of the home, we question whether our degrees and skills were for naught. This is one of the enemy's tactics and it is a lie! Your skills, your education, and your career progression thus far don't have to die with your transition to moving in your purpose. However, they will look different and dare I say, better. Scriptural References Psalm 37:4 Luke 12:7...

Our God is a God of decency and order. As it relates to the family, the order is God, Husband, Wife, and children. The world would have us believe that the “roles” were for people back then and not for today’s society. But the character of God; that is, the decency and order aspect of Him, hasn’t changed just because the world has. First things first, let's get our priorities in order. Scriptu...
