On this episode we interview C.R. Wiley on his book "The Household and the War for the Cosmos". In our conversation we discuss the biblical purpose and order of the household, how its been lost, and how it can be recovered and restored.

On this episode we talk about what it looks like practically to be in submission to our own husband, and how this is a blessing to our family. We hit on what it means to be a helper to our husband and how we can give him opportunities to lead the family practically and spiritually. We also discuss how we can model and encourage these practices in the lives of other women.

Join us for a discussion on what it looks like to seek to be a benefit and do good to the people around us, especially those people the Lord has directed us to serve in our own household.

Does kindness require that we prioritize being "nice", and tiptoe around a persons sin to avoid hurting their feelings? Does it mean that we must be willing to serve a person in any way they request, or that we avoid setting healthy boundaries in our relationships? Do we REALLY need to seek the good of others in ALL situations? We tackle these questions and more!

On this episode we dive into exactly what it means to be a keeper of the home (Titus 2:4), initially taking a look at the basics of what we are responsible to guard as the lady of the house and then diving into the popular application of this passage in regards to a woman physically working inside or outside of the home. We cover quite a lot in this episode, you don't want to miss it!

In this episode we talk about self control - what does it look like to rule over your passions and impulses, biblically? Is there ever a time to "trust your gut" and just do what feels right? When we are out of control, what are some ways we can take charge again? Listen in, we hope this will encourage you!
