Created For The Season: The Coaches’ Wives Ministry Podcast

Dear Friend,

If you have been married more than a day, you’ve probably realized that your husband is not perfect- and neither are you! Marriage brings out the best and the worst in us and it matures us in Christ in a way that no other relationship can do. We do face unique challenges in our marriages as coaches’ wives (henceforth terms like single parent and football widow), but when we remember that Jesus is the perfect husband and we are His bride the church, everything else seems to gain proper perspective.

So as we look at Ephesians 5 today in this episode, we will be focusing on the love and sacrifice of Jesus- standing firm in God’s love and sacrifice for us and overflowing from there. This should be the basis of all our relationships, and I’m excited to take a look at these life-changing truths with you.

“.....And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:2

Love to you all,

Dear Friend,

In today’s episode, we are looking at standing firm in unity. We know the importance of this for teamwork, marriage, family and church, but what actually is biblical unity? The definition of unity is, “being together or at one with someone or something,” and as we will see in Ephesians 4 the goal is not just unity in and off itself, but unity around what is right and true- all for God’s glory. In addition, unity is not uniformity, because we all have different gifts given by Him for His glory and the maturity of His children (Ephesians. 4:11-13). However, we are all called to put off our old selves, and put on the new because we are new creations in Christ- to NOT be unified with our old ways of life. My prayer is that through this scripture in Ephesians we will be encouraged towards true unity and maturity, reflecting His righteousness and holiness as the body of Christ.

“I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing: Salvation to our God on his Throne!” Revelation 7:9-12

Love to you all,

Dear Friend,

In today’s episode, we are looking at Ephesians 3 and standing firm in God’s power. I love how Paul begins the chapter reflecting on his own weaknesses and salvation story!

“To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ…” Ephesians 3:8

Paul lived in such humility, calling himself the least of all the saints, yet at the same time He was constantly bragging! However, his boasting was all about the power of the Lord. This is the humble confidence we have when we know who we are in Christ and walk in His power, and I’m praying for us to be strengthened in these truths today!

Love to you all,

Dear Friend,

It’s easy to say that we are saved by grace, but we still might be stuck in the cycle of performance in our everyday lives! In Ephesians 2, we see not only how the Lord brings us from death to life by His grace through faith for salvation, but that the grace continues on as we walk out the plans He has for us. God wants us to EXPERIENCE His grace in our daily lives, because we truly can’t do it on our own!

As we continue through Ephesians with chapter 2, I’m praying for us all to have joy and peace in the journey as we STAND FIRM in His grace- because the pressure is off! And we get to remember what we were saved from and what we were saved for!

Love to you all,

Dear Friend,

We may not always feel "blessed" to be coaches' wives, because it's not easy and we do face many unique challenges! However, God wants us to see beyond the struggles and to not only KNOW our blessings, but to EXPERIENCE them in the midst of all the craziness and instability of the coaching lifestyle.

Today we are kicking off our study STANDING FIRM, going through the book of Ephesians over the next several weeks. Ephesians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Ephesus, and I love this letter because Paul reminds me of a coach. Just like our husbands spend countless hours instructing athletes, encouraging them to have correct stances and mentalities and strengthening them along the way in every way, Paul is going to coach us through the truth of the gospel over and over again until we are standing firm and living it out by the power of God. Then he will remind us over and over again of these truths as we continue to saturate ourselves in the Word, be part of the team- the church, and work it out together until we meet Jesus face-to-face in heaven... and Jesus is the ULTIMATE COACH!

This episode focuses on standing firm in the blessings we have in Christ, and as we will see in Ephesians 1, we have safety, security and so much more!

Love to you all,

However, her childhood began on the mission field in Africa, and she has experienced many painful challenges throughout her lifetime. Yet in the midst of it all, the Lord has given her clear eyes and a full heart, and the pain has led to walking out the purpose God has for her, together with her family. I can’t wait for you to meet Melinda today, and I know you will be encouraged by her story, her perspective and her heart!

Dear Friend,

We are in the final week of our three week mini-series: Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can’t lose.

Although we know that the Bible says we have victory in Christ, how can we define what that “winning” looks like daily? And what do we do when we suffer losses in this life?

We won’t have all the answers until heaven, but starting each day with the Lord and His Word is a WIN that we can experience daily. It is where we get our clear-eyes perspective and full-hearts of hope. I’m excited to share this episode with you, as we grow together in these truths!

Love to you all,

Dear Friend,

We are in the second week of our three week mini-series!

"Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose."

When coaches speak to their athletes in those pre-game moments, every word counts, so I love that we are talking about these three simple phrases.

"Clear eyes" is the reminder to not get distracted, to pay attention and to stay focused. "Full Hearts" is the reminder to play with heart and passion, to be committed to the team and to excellence, and to be motivated to play with that I WILL NOT GIVE UP attitude!

When the pressure is on, both in sports and in life, we need Clear Eyes of Faith and a Full Heart of Hope! We need to grow in that certain hope, spending time with the Lord and understanding His promises and His  faithfulness. I'm excited to grow in this area with you as we look again at 2 Corinthians 4!

Love to you all,

💕Candace
