The Wise Wife Podcast

Proverbs 31:25 says a woman clothed in strength and dignity can laugh at the days to come. Most of us can't laugh, because tomorrow scares us and we're holding our version of how things should go with both hands. In this episode I take you into the Hebrew behind that verse, oz and hadar, and show you that these are God's own garments, not something you manufacture from inside yourself.   Stre...

Women come to me to heal their marriages. Almost every time, what they needed was to heal themselves first. I know that is hard to hear when your husband is the one who looks broken. But I spent years so fixed on his wrongs that I nearly walked away from God over my own hurt and offense. This episode is about what God wants to heal in you while you wait on Him. I walk through three things: why God...

Years ago I walked into our bathroom and found raw sewage backing up into the toilet and the tub. We could have spent the rest of our lives scooping it out, or we could deal with the massive tree root that had grown silently underground for decades until it finally broke the sewer line. Most women I coach are still scooping.   You've been trying to change the behavior. You've prayed harder, s...

There are two sinful responses to trauma, and most of us are living in one of them. The victim is sharing her story compulsively, looking for someone to confirm her pain is real. The martyr is stuffing it all down and calling that strength. Today I'm naming both, exposing the root wounds that drive each one, and showing you what it actually looks like to share your story well, with discernment, wi...

My Marriage Stand: Part 3 — How He Came Home I got the call I had been fasting and praying for. Tim's opening line was, "Natasha, I don't love you. I haven't loved you in a really long time." I dropped to my knees. Not because the words were good. They were the worst sales pitch of all time. But I knew in my spirit that something had broken. This is Part 3, the final episode of my full marria...

My Marriage Stand: Part 2 — What God Did With the Wreckage He moved out. I was at the house with the boys. And by God's grace, I did not lose my mind. That surprised me more than anything, because nothing about how I'd been living had prepared me for dignified separation. There was not a single fleshly reason I should have held it together when he was packing that car, but I did. What followed was...

My Marriage Stand: Part 1 — I Hated My Husband There was a time I hated my husband. Not the small kind of hate. The kind where you lie awake at night wondering if you married your mortal enemy. And the part that's even harder to say? I thought I was the good one. This is Part 1 of a 3-part series where I'm telling my full story. Not the cleaned up version. The actual story of how my marriage died,...

Anointing your house, your husband's pillow, your kids' foreheads, your kitchen sink — none of it does anything if you don't actually believe God is who He says He is. In this episode, Natasha answers a question one of our Wise Wives asked about anointing oil. What is it? Why do people use it? Does it actually do anything? She walks through the biblical roots of anointing — David being set apart f...

He says he believes in God. So why doesn't it show? If you've ever felt like something isn't adding up in your marriage — your head saying one thing, your spirit saying another — this episode is for you. In this episode, Natasha breaks down one of the most confusing and painful situations a Christian wife can face: a husband who professes faith but shows no fruit. Drawing from her own marriage sto...

Are you stuck in a cycle of managing, controlling, and worrying — and wondering why nothing ever changes? The root isn't your circumstances, it's fear. In this episode of The Wise Wife Podcast, Natasha dives deep into what fearless faith actually is — not the street-corner shouting kind, but the kind that let David face Goliath, kept the apostles standing under torture, and can keep you standing n...

Many wives feel trapped in a cycle of trying to fix, manage, or carry the weight of their husband’s choices, only to end up exhausted, frustrated, and stuck. In this episode, Natasha breaks down a powerful and often misunderstood concept: reality discipline. Originally taught in parenting, this principle has profound implications for marriage, especially when you’re dealing with sin, dysfunction,...

“How do I submit in this situation?” It’s one of the most common—and most misunderstood—questions in Christian marriage. In this episode, Natasha addresses a real-life scenario from a wife who feels stuck carrying the weight of her household while her husband avoids responsibility. But instead of giving a surface-level answer, she reframes the question entirely: It’s not just “how do I submit?” It...

What do you do when your husband wants to come back, but not fully as a husband? In this episode, Natasha addresses a common and painful question from wives navigating broken marriages: how do you know whether letting him come home is wisdom or enabling dysfunction? She unpacks the difference between regret and repentance, explains what an “in-home prodigal” looks like, and shows why many women en...

In this episode of The Wise Wife Podcast, Natasha takes a closer look at the Genesis creation account and explores the Hebrew words often translated as “man,” “helper,” and “rib.” What if the story of Adam and Eve is richer than the simplified version many of us learned growing up? What if woman was never meant to be understood as an afterthought, but as fully present in God’s original design for...

Some women who believe they’re “standing for their marriage” are actually stuck in idolatry. Not devotion. Not faith. Idolatry. Because if your husband leaving has turned you into an emotional wreck who can’t function, can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t think about anything else… that’s a type of worship, rather than biblical strength. And on the other side of the story, many of the spouses who leave a...

“Should Christians go to marriage counseling?” It’s one of the most common questions I hear from Christian wives in marital crisis. In this episode, I walk through the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow, change versus transformation, and how to discern whether counseling in your season will support sanctification, or reinforce control and victimhood. This conversation is about peac...

In this Wise Swipe Podcast episode, I teach from Hezekiah’s story (2 Chronicles 32; 2 Kings 19) to encourage women standing for their marriages. I explain how idols create open doors for attack, why scrambling and compromise never satisfy the enemy, and why God doesn’t need our help—He wants obedience, trust, and surrender. I share how mockery and fear try to intimidate faith, how reaping and sowi...

In this episode of The Wise Wife, Natasha addresses a blind spot many Christian women don’t realize they have: consuming voices that sound helpful, feel validating, and claim biblical values, while subtly contradicting God’s design for marriage, authority, and obedience. Natasha walks through how spiritual compromise often enters quietly—not through rebellion, but through “good resources,” popular...

Natasha answers a listener question -- one that she receives often -- in how to navigate a prodigal husband who wants to "come home" but isn't showing any signs of repentance or remorse. In this episode, Natasha explains the biblical framework she uses to help make wise decisions when faced with difficult situations.

Today on the Wise Wife Podcast, Natasha explores praying "in the Spirit," including speaking in tongues. We'll learn about the power of this form of prayer for personal edification, intercession, and spiritual warfare and talk about why it's important for EVERY believer. Come with expectation and FAITH that you can be baptized in the Holy Spirit!

In this episode, we near the conclusion of our Armor of God series by recapping what we’ve learned about standing firm against evil, as outlined in Ephesians 6. This isn’t metaphorical or abstract; it’s preparation for a literal spiritual battle raging over our souls, families, and legacies. We explore the Bible’s depiction of an organized, hierarchical demonic realm and how understanding this rea...

In this episode, Natasha continues the Armor of God series with a deep dive into the Helmet of Salvation. She challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level understanding of salvation and instead embrace its transformative power. Natasha explores how the enemy targets our identity, distorts our purpose, and uses pride or shame to separate us from God. She unpacks what it means to have an eterna...

In continuing our study on the Armor of God, Natasha emphasizes the importance of actively using faith as a shield against the enemy's attacks, allowing us to advance into battle rather than passively taking the hits. Drawing parallels with Roman military strategies and Japanese samurai tactics to underscore the need for discipline, resilience, and unwavering faith, Natasha also highlights the sig...

In this episode, Natasha reflects on how unprepared many of us are for marriage and the unrealistic expectations we can easily bring with us into our relationships. As we unpack the importance of allowing time and space for spiritual growth in both our husband and ourselves, Natasha takes us through the next piece of armor in our Armor of God series. Tune in to hear about the significance of prepa...
