Confidently She (now on Substack)

You are called to care for your body. Loving your body starts with knowing the definition of love. We have a perfect definition in scripture and it's the best way to get started fixing the relationship you have with your body. I used to hate my body and wish I could switch places with someone else. Go to www.thebodyimagesolution.com/program to get the course on how I changed this relationship with my body. To start, listen to this episode for the full context on what it looks like to really be a good steward of your body.

What does it mean to submit to your husband? Yikes. The church talks about this one a lot, but you know what they don't focus on? The character husbands need to have in order to be worthy of submission. The Proverbs 31 woman seems to be married to one heck of a man, and not every guy who shows up to church on Sundays is worthy of that type of wife. This idea of wives submitting to husbands has caused so much abuse and pain within marriages and "Christian" community. It's used to further sexism and toxic masculinity. It's turning many people away from God and rightfully so. I wouldn't want to follow a God who forced me to get married and become, essentially, a slave to my husband. Thankfully, that's not in scripture...but you sometimes get that vibe when you're around "Christian" circles. Listen to the full episode to hear my perspective on how a confident woman goes about selecting a husband who's safe to submit to. Also, read Wild at Heart and Captivating for further insight and study.

How do you handle when someone you've dated didn't want you to wear your hair a certain way, and then you get out of that relationship and you want to do the things you "weren't allowed" to do but you're scared? - That's a question I got in my DMs. Toxic relationships plant insecurities that stick around long after the relationship ends unless we do the work to WEED THEM OUT. 

Ever wonder what a "good Christian woman" looks like? You probably have the image of a quiet wife, loving mother, and Pinterest perfect family pictures every Christmas. There are so many more ways God is able to use you besides casting you in the role of "wife" and "mother". You can be used by God use as you are and I'm talking with Stefanie Gass about pursuing a purpose for your life that God places on your heart, whatever that may look like.

I used to think masculine traits made you confident, but it actually made me frustrated and insecure! So I had to figure out how to be confident in a feminine way, the way God intended us to be. Feminine confidence lies in the balance between striving for acceptance and giving up completely.

Holding onto anger doesn't make you strong. The strongest thing you can do when you're hurting and someone refuses to give you the apology you deserve is to heal without bitterness. Listen to this episode if you're feeling bitterness or resentment towards a situation you've held onto for too long.

Dating is hard...for everyone involved! If you desire a godly marriage and are feeling discouraged in your dating life, this episode will give you some peace. Harsh rejection isn't fun, but sometimes it's worse when it's not communicated or clear. My hope is that as Christians, our dating interactions will be much better than those within the world, but often times they are just as bad. Listen to this episode for the full context on how I'm viewing rejection and dating at this point in my life.

Confident women CAN (and do) submit to their husbands...but they're careful to hold their husbands to the standard set in the bible, too.

Can we stop with the stereotype of "church ladies" and get real about the fact we're called to be MORE than moms? God created each of us with incredible gifts to further His kingdom...aren't you curious what yours is? The opinions of others shouldn't stop you from taking direction from God and living your life for His purpose! Check out more from Stefanie at www.stefaniegass.com and she's on insta @stefaniegass
