Prayer is an important aspect of our Christian walk. It is our time to come before our Holy God to share with Him our struggles and fears, to offer praise and worship, and to feel His awe inspiring presence in our lives.

However, we all can struggle with things like; being consistent with our prayer time, worrying about how to pray effectively, or how do I keep my mind from wandering during prayer.

In this insightful episode, we will address 6 common struggles many Christians face in developing an effective prayer life. Discuss how to balance your prayer time with daily life responsibilities and why your prayers may be hindered. I'm sharing some practical advice and solutions to these challenges, including seven simple changes you can implement today.

If you are looking to deepen your relationship with God through a confident, more effective prayer time, this episode is for you.

Our tongue is one of the smaller parts of our body and yet, it can have a profound impact on our relationships, especially within marriage. It can either be our biggest problem or our greatest attribute. The choice is ours.

Many of us are aware of this because we have seen first hand the effects our tongue has had on those we love. How our words can just as easily lift someone up, as they can tear someone down.

Taming our tongue tends to be much harder than we would like it to be. Where does this demeaning or hateful speech come from and how do we change it?

Thankfully, God gives us His wisdom and insight in this. Join me as we look to scripture for how to control our tongue with our husbands, for a loving happy marriage.

Let’s get started.

Last week we looked at 19 character traits that we are striving to posses as a godly wife. In God’s design for marriage, we use those character traits as we carry out God‘s purpose for our lives.

Which begs the question, what is God‘s purpose for me as a wife? What has He called me to and what should my priorities be in living the Christian life as a married woman?

Join me as we uncover how God has created women with a unique purpose and how to live it out in a way that glorifies Him. We will also discuss the importance of being a helpmate to your husband, embracing the role of parenthood where applicable, and making peace with God's specific plan for your life.

Lastly, we will see how your spiritual gifts serve as a blueprint for fulfilling your God given purpose.

Let’s get started.

In our Christian walk, we often hear the term godly woman or submissive wife, and we know that this is what we are to strive for. But what does she really look like? What godly traits does she posses?

We are taught that the coveted Proverbs 31 woman is our example to follow. However, is this even possible? And what does this virtuous wife look like in today’s society?

For us to have a good understanding of what we are striving for or where we are headed on our journey in becoming a Christian woman and wife. We are going to take a deep dive into 19 character traits of the virtuous woman described in the book of Proverbs.

I will be asking you to write some things down today, so grab your pen and paper and let’s get started.

No matter how hard we try, no matter how determined we might be, we will not be successful at becoming a submissive wife, without first doing two essential steps.

Yes, we may make some strides here or there, but lasting change, a true change of the heart, only happens when we are willing to put these foundational steps into practice.

How do I know? Because I’ve been there. I was the young wife who desired to do marriage right. Who longed to have a loving marriage that stood the test of time. It was a commitment to these 2 principles that made the difference.

Join me as I share two essential steps that will help you start your journey off right in becoming the godly wife that you want to be.

Let’s get started.
