Ep 227 When Marriage Feels Like a Mistake | Choosing Your Spouse Over Family (Question 1)

This season finale is both a closing and a calling. In this episode, I share that I will be stepping away for a while, and we center our hearts again on what God has been speaking all along: we are called to arise. Not by doing more, striving more, or filling our lives with busyness, but by finally becoming who He has already called us to be. Sometimes, the way forward begins by stopping. We stop the noise, the pressure, and the constant doing, so we can step into simply being, by God's grace. I also answer three important questions from wives: • How do I learn and grow in the things shared on this show? • What should a wife do when her husband won't stop drinking? • What is the difference between obedience and submission in marriage? This episode will leave you grounded, refocused, and reminded that your transformation is not earned through effort—but received through surrender. As this season comes to a close, let this be your reminder: You don't need to do more to arise; you just need to start being who God has already called you to be. Stop to Start. End to Begin. Arise.

In this episode, you'll learn how to stay in agreement with God in every area of your life. We dive into Numbers 25 and explore God's perspective on wholehearted devotion and staying focused on Him. From there, we talk about what it practically looks like to remain aligned with God each day.... even in a life that feels full of tasks, responsibilities, and constant busyness.

In this episode, we answer a candid sex question from a wife and share a few laughs about arising in both comfort and confidence—embracing femininity and sex appeal without overthinking it. We then turn to the often-misunderstood story of Job's wife, a woman with a poor reputation whose words are frequently judged without grace. Together, we explore what it looks like to extend compassion instead of condemnation, especially when our husband is difficult to understand or walk with. This episode encourages wives to honor God, resist the temptation to give up too quickly, and learn how to endure marriage with faith—even in the hardest seasons.
