Psalm 107 is on deck today! Life has rhythms, good and bad, which ones are we stuck in that God wants to free us from?

Let’s explore God’s rescue for not just the Israelites in the reading of Psalm 107, but today in our lives as well. Opening our hearts to the voice of the Holy Spirit welcomes in freedom and transforms us from the inside out.

Thriving in marriage can begin in the heart of one spouse. Our perspective aligned with God and modeled by Jesus allows us to not only shift our present circumstances but to transform our hearts.

It’s easy to feel stuck! However, we have a Heavenly Dad who offers us a way out by way of gratitude, humility, and surrender.

Let’s unpack the shift in our attitude; it becomes an opportunity for growth. Even if your marriage feels stuck, remember God has been in the business of rescue since the beginning of mankind.

Have you ever assessed the themes surrounding your life? Are there patterns of your rebellion to God’s restoration that can be traced?

“They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt.” -Psalm 106:21

Today’s podcast is from Psalm 106. I pray that the Holy Spirit illuminates God’s enduring faithfulness despite our constant failures. While it’s easy to read about the Israelites' shortcomings, applying the truth of this text to our lives as wives, mothers, career women, ministry leaders, and more makes it hit harder.

Here’s the great news for those of us who believe and trust in Jesus: He is a merciful, compassionate, and grace-filled High Priest. When we constantly blow it, our hope can remain secure in God who deeply cares about us. Not only does Jesus see us in the situations we face, He is full of empathy for our daily burdens; He once walked the earth both fully man and God.

Obedience is a “how” response to demonstrating faith in God. In practical terms, as mothers and wives, exploring the root issues of waywardness requires us to be honest about the daily practices that lead us to self-reliance instead of surrender. This crazy cycle of forgetting God and returning to Him started in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve—and unfortunately, it continues today.

Knowing better doesn’t always mean doing better, and doing better doesn’t assure we will always know better. Let’s commit—right now—to the transformative power that Jesus offers for each of our lives.

Consider this shift: as mothers and wives, our knowing and doing better no longer centers on us; rather, it points to how well we are imitating and following Jesus.

It’s time to forego an empty-hearted, performance-based lifestyle and pick up the pursuit of authentic trust, clinging to Jesus as the only answer to our mess.

I’m thankful that the light in the gospel heals, and can reorient our life path.

Let’s dive into this episode!

Psalm 105 is up ladies! What a mighty God we serve! He has done amazing things. He can do all things.

I inwardly gave up on believing my husband would be any different than he was. Many times, for many years, I quit my marriage until God granted me clarity in Mark 8:34-35.

Following Jesus is the hardest thing possible, yet it is the required term of agreement in becoming His disciple. Our obedience to remain in places of suffering, while simultaneously boasting the fruits of the spirit, such as joy and peace, calls for empowerment from God.

Yahweh Macadesh means the LORD who Sanctifies. Following God, from a core faith, not an outward phony check-the-box washes us and makes us holy. I am the first to admit I fought and bucked against the transformation. Following Christ, and imitating His every move, means that we are on a journey of holiness.

Happiness is an amazing bonus to the hard things we commit ourselves to, but happiness is ultimately a short-lived choice. Anchored wives and mothers courageously choose to cling to Jesus for the long run, happiness or no happiness.

Lord, may any woman reading this or listening to the podcast, be drawn to Your presence and power in her circumstance(s). Strengthen her each day for the tasks ahead. Help us, God! There is nowhere else we can go or turn besides You. Thank you for your grace and faithfulness. In Jesus’ name. Amen and Amen.

Who keeps our lives from untangling and breaking apart?

Even if in a tumultuous season, who can sustain it all, to include the unseen pieces to the story?

Only God.

As we dive into Psalm 104, it’s been a beautiful, humbling exploration into God’s infinite wisdom and eternal care for all of creation.

As wives and moms, y’all! #teamalot sometimes doesn’t grasp all the weight we carry. Sometimes it’s a battle to maintain our peace while supporting our husbands and building up our children.

Yet, we have a Source of true peace; trusting and surrendering in Jesus as our sustainer.

Lean into a few practical and applicable ways to surrender to Christ daily and allow Him to fill your home with His peace!

“Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.” Proverbs‬ ‭29‬:‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Vision boards are not man-made concepts, but rather from the divine. Do you have a vision for yourself? Marriage? Children? 

Become the pacesetter of your home byway of an inner revival found in your surrender to Christ.

Let’s get practical ladies as we assess our limitations in the light an Almighty God. Psalm 103 is a fantastic reminder for us to remember God’s surplus for every one of our needs.

Cheering for you !

What’s the best tool to thriving in marriage? (Perhaps you asked)!

Surrendering all of your heart, expectations, plans, and more to God (alone) to fill. 

Yes, there are more tactics, but the foundational principle of trusting God to propel marriage is in surrender. Even more so if this is a hard season! 

I want to share 7 Bible verses that  encourage trusting God even if the bottom falls out! 

Cheering for you !

Jesus is calling for us to all level up. Like me, have you ever used easier targets to justify that you’re more righteous or doing better than Gods version of you?

Psalm 101, in today’s episode, challenges us to start cleaning up our homes, and not with a sponge, by exploring how to live a blameless life, while balancing the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood.

Cheering for you, sister in Christ!

Raise your hand if adding in time with God feels like one more life demand! 

What if Jesus became the pacesetter at the center of your life? No more days of a whip cream add on, now Jesus is the coffee, the main thing!

Psalm 100 is a powerful template to rightly align motherhood & marriage from the pace of worship as the created to the Creator.

Thanks for tuning in today!

Have you been celebrating or fearful in last week’s election results?

When Jesus says to “be in the world but not of the world” in John 17:14, how do we thrive at this?

God is holy.  How can we wives and mothers seek peace and strength from God’s power? Especially in chaotic times such as these. 

Today’s episode, Psalm 99, is a reminder for us to realign and shed away the things obstructing our following the example of holy living.

Cheering for you, sister in Christ!
