Living Out Biblical Womanhood

The four of us have known each other (and the Lord) for many, many years. But our relationships both with Him and each other, didn’t happen in remarkable and grand life scenarios. No, God wove our stories together in very ordinary ways….in ordinary relationships and circumstances. He met each of us very differently but changed our lives completely. And He has used our four-way bond to unite our he...

Self-control with food is an area most women struggle with (or have struggled with or will struggle with) this side of Heaven. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit and He does want it displayed in our lives. But boy, can it be challenging to form a healthy relationship with food. There can be embarrassment, guilt, and shame in our habits. And what’s the difference between self-control and discipl...

When we get married, we can dream of “doing it right.” To be the wife and have the marriage that works just the way it does in the books we’ve read and the movies we’ve watched. It doesn’t work like that. 😊 Marriage is His plan and He knows how to work in our hearts and minds to help us be more like Him. But it takes work and time. Wouldn’t it be nice to learn some things earlier than later? Join...

Pursuing purity in our world is not easy. The culture we live in is hyper-sexualized, full of temptation, and tells us to go ahead and do what we want to. Our thoughts, words, and actions easily lead us down the path of impurity, and the consequences can be severe. We need to be women who know how to guard ourselves against sin and temptation and cling to His Word. We also need to know how to move...

Women face pressures in our world today (not just as mothers but also as single women) as they strive to live in the role God has called them to. Pressures come from family, expectations from others/self, wanting to please our children and the fear of missing out. Just to name a few. Then come the questions: Should our children play sports? Should we let them have a phone? Is there an age to start...

It’s easy to think that idolatry existed only in the Old Testament, and that it only had to do with golden calves or wooden statues. But the truth is, idolatry is alive and well in our lives today. We may not always recognize our idols, but they are most certainly there. Our hearts are drawn away from Jesus and we find them clinging to people and things. A good thing becomes a controlling thing. W...

Being thankful and grateful are not quite as “easy” as we can tend to think it is. It’s so easy to grumble and complain about the smallest things. There are also root sins in our lives that can hinder us from growing a thankful heart. And when suffering comes into our lives, we can forget who God is and what He has done for us. We need the encouragement of the Word, His Spirit, and other believers...

In this month’s podcast, we decided to do something a little different. Rather than address a specific topic, we thought it would be helpful/encouraging to take a look “behind the scenes” in how our podcasts come to life. We’ve had numerous listeners ask us many of the same questions (ie: “Where do you get your topics/questions?”, “How do you prepare?”). We wanted to share with you how truly bless...

In Titus 2:3-4, we find some pretty clear verses for what the Lord has for young mothers. They are to be “busy at home.” What exactly does that mean? Could it possibly still have relevance in the year 2025? The Bible is a book written for all time and it lays out a beautiful blueprint for how our Creator wants to use the uniquely designed female to inhabit and influence her home. None of our lives...

Last month we looked at what it means to live a life of submission to one another. We laid some groundwork for how God wants us to live in relationship to one another. (If you haven’t heard it yet, we encourage you to.) This month we’re talking more specifically about submission in marriage. What does the Lord call us to (and not call us to) as we live to please Him as wives? What does this look l...

What does it mean to live a life of submission? One yielded to His good plans for our lives? This isn’t a podcast about submission as wives, but rather as women who want to live lives pleasing to the Lord. We have daily opportunities to serve, love, and give ourselves to the people and situations around us. But it isn’t always easy. There is a death of the “self” that has to happen and we need His...

Our marriages are full of opportunities to love our husbands and honor the Lord as we do it.  They are also full of opportunities to sin against our husbands and not confidently walk the road of forgiveness when we’ve been hurt or sinned against. Instead, we can harbor a bitter heart and our view of and relationship with our husbands is not at all what it should be. It’s not always easy to “make t...

In our world today, you don’t see a lot of modesty in the way women dress. Culture tends to think it’s an outdated notion and why can’t women wear whatever they want? The Bible may have been written centuries ago, but it’s absolutely relevant for our lives today. The Lord has good and helpful thoughts to steer us in this area. And as we grow in our understanding of who we are in Him, our heart can...

Comparing ourselves to others is a universal struggle. We’ve all done it. Whether it’s connected to our physical appearance or our abilities or our possessions. It’s so easy to do and it almost never ends well. It can cause bitterness, envy, pride, and insecurity. It’s a matter of the heart and needs God’s truth to help us sort it out and weed it out. We need to apply His ways to our lives and lea...

Being a mother is an amazingly wonderful calling on our lives. It is also very hard work. We can feel the pressure to be that “perfect” mom or have our “performance/what we do” and the desired outcome of our efforts be what drives us. When that happens, our hope is not in God. God has called us to live by grace and leave the outcome of mothering to Him. Join us as we talk about what this struggle...

We need to be women who memorize Bible verses. We know that it has the ability to change our lives in so many necessary ways. Everything from transforming our minds to bringing us comfort, encouragement, admonishment, and hope. The list is endless. But it’s not always easy to memorize and when challenges present themselves, we can oftentimes get discouraged and stop trying. Instead, we need to arm...

We need to be good stewards of all that He gives us and this certainly includes our money. We should be careful to live in a way that honors Him. This is a call to understanding budgeting and finances. This may seem easier for some as they have more money. But is it necessarily about the money we have or is it a matter of the heart? Join us as we talk very practically about what budgeting looks li...

Being married is a part of God’s good plan and it brings amazing blessings into our lives. However, it also reveals areas we need to work on, both in ourselves and in our husbands. And the necessary conversations we need to have about those areas aren’t always easy. So, just how do you speak into your husband’s life in a way that honors God and helps your husband grow? Practically speaking, are th...

Being a part of a church family means many wonderful things. Serving within your church family is on God’s heart and needs to be on ours. We may struggle in living this out for either lack of understanding or not knowing how to make it happen in the busy and different seasons of our lives. How do we overcome those struggles and do what He asks? What kinds of blessings are there for us as we lay do...

Getting counsel before making decisions used to be the norm in the Christian life. It’s not so much anymore. Why is that? It could be because people either don’t know about it as a biblical resource, or they feel like they’d rather search the internet and not have to interact with “a real person” (who might not tell them what they want to hear). No matter the reason, lack of counsel can lead to un...

Laying down your life for your family isn’t necessarily easy. We can easily know the Lord has called us to it, but it’s hard work (often found in small, daily choices), calls for sacrifice (oftentimes in ways that feel very personal), and needs a vision that can only come from the Lord. The world we live in lies to us about what this means and what it should look like. We need the Truth to keep us...

Talking about politics and Christianity and how they go together (or don’t) can be a touchy subject. Is there value in us talking about it as Christian women and citizens of the U.S.? How do we decide who to vote for and what happens when people have differing opinions than ours? Is it possible to face the future with hope and courage? Some of our answers might just surprise you. Join us as we tal...

One of the ways God wants us to love our husbands is with phileo love. This is a friendship love, one of personal affection, tenderness, and companionship. It’s a type of love that we can often overlook or under-value. How does He want us to love our husbands in this way? We need to better understand it to walk in it. Join us as we talk about how we phileo love our husbands with practical tips and...

God wants us to be women who are self-controlled in our speech. We know it isn’t easy. Our speech can get us into trouble. Whether we struggle with anger, gossip, or simply saying too many words, we need His help to change and grow. Thankfully, His Word is full of wisdom and practical ways to grow. By His power, it’s possible to become a woman who is self-controlled in her speech. Join us as we ta...

God wants us to be hospitable. The Bible is pretty clear about that but sometimes we can get confused about what it means. Do we need to only use the good dishes and buy expensive food? Is it something you can only do if you have a home and family? The answer is “No!” —Hospitality is having a heart to love like Jesus did, in community and fellowship. You don’t need much to see Him bless your heart...
