151: Let's Talk About it... Marriage, part 2

On our last episode, Pastor Jonathan Wallace shared with us, "What your Husband wants You to Know. It was such a good conversation and we were all convicted and encouraged by what he had to say. But, we couldn't just leave it. Once he left the room, we dove back into conversation about what he had shared. Come listen in.

Here are some of our takeaways...

* Plan business meetings and date nights with your husband. These two things should be separate. Be intentional and make your marriage a priority.

* Don't be self-centered. Try to elevate your perspective and see things from a higher vantage point.

* Share why you love your husband. Let him know what you love about him. If your marriage is challenging, ask God to help you muster up the strength to see and share the things you love.

* We can choose behavior that honors the Lord, because we love the Lord. We can choose to be obedient to God's word and choose to show respect.

* Submit yourselves to your husband... so they will be won over without words, by the behavior of their wives. Show the love of Christ without words.

* Encourage your husband and let him know that you see all he does for your family.

We love you and are praying for you and for your marriage. Marriage is hard, yet it can be incredibility beautiful. Invite your spouse into a conversation about making yours more loving, kind, committed. Be better together.

We are here for you!

150: What Your Husband Wants You to Know

We are excited to have a special guest today - Pastor Jonathan Wallace of Getwell Church in Southaven, MS. He is sharing with us the male perspective to marriage. Marriage is a precious gift that God has given to us. But if we are honest - it is a struggle. Could it be that we are a part of the problem? This conversation will help us do better and be better.

Jonathan explains to us why our husband is not sharing his heart with us. He shares how to set times for us to show up and communicate with one another. We talk about how to implement change and be a better listener and communicator.

We pray that you will listen to this episode a few times and share with your friends. Learn to love your spouse based on how they are created and how they receive love. Take time to think through the 6 things Jonathan listed for us that our husbands want us to know. Some of these things hurt to hear, but we need to know.

Pray for your husband and your marriage. Do the work. Now that you know what he wants you to know, you can show up differently.

Stay tuned for our next episode as Pam, Gwen, and Kim engage in conversation about what Jonathan shared. We talk about the struggles we endure and the challenges we all face. We want to encourage you to engage Jesus in your marriage and experience the more He came to offer!

149: What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do

Join us as we share 3 things you can do when you do not know what to do.

1. Pray. Take it all to God. He will meet you in your despair. It may require you to repent and release your pride and selfishness. Lay yourself down so you can hear from Him. Seek Him first. The scriptures tell us that when we seek Him, we will find Him. As you pray and cry out to Him, don't forget to be still and listen. We want to hear from Him, but that requires leaning in, listening for Him and expect to hear from Him. He is always with you. He is always at work in your life. No matter what comes your way, run to Him.

2. Seek Wise Counsel. It is Biblical to seek the counsel of those who will give you biblically sound advice. We don't need people's opinions or advice, we need help to apply God's wisdom during THIS season of our life. Who is encouraging you in your walk with Jesus? Be intentional to build relationships with women who will point you to Jesus all the time and every time.

3. Get in God's word. The Psalms are full of David in the situation of not knowing what to do. We read and relate to his highs and lows as he suffers and as he worships. Ephesians is full of instruction for the believer. It reminds us of who we need to be and what we need to do. Regardless of where you go in God's word, it is always going to point you to truth. Again, we encourage you to keep a truth journal. If you don't have a truth journal, you can find one at engageformore.com.

BONUS:

- Record what God is teaching you right now. Be aware of what He is trying to show you?

- Keep a List: Lord, What do I Need to Stop Doing? and Lord, What do I Need to Start Doing?

- Keep listening to the Engage for More Podcast and invite your friends to do the same. 😊

Episode 148: Do I Have a Purpose?

You were created on purpose and filled with purpose by your Creator. Our purpose is to glorify our Heavenly Father, to fear God, and keep His Commandments. We are to follow Jesus and lead others to Him.

When we read in Genesis that we are to be fruitful and multiply. This isn't only bearing children, it is also spiritual multiplication. Jesus never multiplied physically, but He multiplied spiritually. Your purpose includes spreading the gospel and helping others come to know Jesus.

Our God given purpose requires that we no longer go along with the crowd. We are called to be set apart. As we grow to know God more and engage Jesus, we should becoming more and more like Jesus. God uses every single thing we go through to transform us into who He created us to become. It is a continual progression until we meet Him face to face.

Satan wants to detour us from pursing the purpose we are to fulfill. He hisses and points us to our selfish desires or anything other than God's plan for us. We must recognize this as spiritual warfare and stop believing His lies. Get in God's word - it is the truth.

Engage Jesus in every moment of your life and you will experience the more He came to offer. And what He came to offer you as you follow Him far surpasses anything you will leave behind. Ask God daily to reveal your purpose for the day. Say yes to God and surrender your life to Him. Today is the day to start being about your Father's business.

We are here to help you step into your purpose. Feel free to reach out to us at https://forms.gle/utvdGEX5uths18tX9 and let us know how we can come alongside you.

Episode 147: Engaging Foundational Truths

If we are not engaging the truth, then we are listening to the lies of the enemy. He wants to kill, steal, and destroy you and it all begins by hissing lies in your ear. Be diligent to not listen to the lies. Instead lean into the truth that is found in God's word.

The power of life and death lies in the tongue. Be careful what you say to yourself. Be careful what you believe. Matthew 4:4 "True life is found in every word that goes forth from God's mouth." Speak the truth and release your faith.

Truth is the firm foundation God has given you to stand on no matter where you are in your life. Read God's word, speak God's word, and live a life founded on His word. Jesus said, "the Truth will set you free".
