Godly Wife | Biblical Marriage | Submissive Wife ~ Faith Lived Out

How the Resurrection Transforms Your Christian Marriage is the Easter truth every believing wife needs to hear. In this episode, we explore how faith in the risen Christ is not just the foundation of your eternal hope, it is the foundation of the marriage God designed for you to live out right now.

Whether your marriage feels strong or stretched, this biblical teaching walks you through the full story: God's original design, what the fall of Genesis 3 did to marriage, and why the empty tomb is the answer to everything that feels stuck or hard. Because there is no marriage in heaven, the marriage God designed is for this life. And because Christ is risen, you have everything you need to live it.

At a recent Likeminded Wives Gathering, I asked the women one simple question: What has made the difference? What changed in them that sparked a genuine desire to become a submissive wife? The answer was nearly unanimous — intentionality. They had made a deliberate choice to learn what biblical submission really means and to begin making real changes from the inside out.

That question is exactly what led me to this episode. Becoming a godly wife requires going to the right source, and that source is God Himself. In this episode, I walk you through why God, as the Designer of marriage, is your ultimate authority and expert, how to get intentional with His Word every single day, and why the Holy Spirit is the only One who can produce the lasting inner change you're longing for.

This is not about trying harder. It's about going to the right Expert and letting Him do what only He can.

Biblical submission isn't about fear — it's about freedom, courage, and confidence in God's perfect design for your marriage. In this episode of Faith Lived Out, I'm addressing the six most common fears that hold Christian women back from wholeheartedly embracing what God calls them to as a submissive wife.

Whether you've wrestled with the fear of losing your identity, struggled to trust your husband's leadership, or been shaped by a culture that calls submission outdated and oppressive, I'm bringing God's Word directly to those fears.

I'll walk you through what Scripture truly teaches: that biblical submission mirrors Christ's own willing submission to the Father, and that your identity, security, and future are anchored in God's loving sovereignty, not in your circumstances.

Learn to communicate well in your Christian marriage and you will build a foundation of oneness, trust, and unity that your marriage was designed to have. Not giving communication the attention it deserves leads to accusations, arguments, and living as roommates under the same roof.

Let me ask you: Do you have those meaningful conversations where your husband shares his thoughts and ideas? Does he come to you with his latest aha moments or accomplishments? Are you able to freely share your ideas and concerns — and know you'll be heard and your opinion considered?

Or do your conversations feel a bit more surface-level, more like coordinating schedules and managing logistics than truly connecting? Do you find your husband hiding out in another room, seemingly avoiding conversations and making decisions without your input?

If you're longing for better communication and true oneness in your marriage, you're in the right place. Today, I'm walking you through a simple but powerful 3-step process for building communication and unity with your husband.

Let's get started.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Listen now — and take the next step toward the oneness God designed for your marriage.

In this vulnerable episode of Faith Lived Out, I confess my own battle with pride in marriage and how it nearly destroyed my joy, my relationship with my husband, and my witness to my children. If you've ever struggled with control, defensiveness, or feeling like you know better than your husband, you're not alone. I've been there, and I'm sharing my personal stories of how pride gripped my heart and the biblical path to Christ-like humility that transformed my Christian marriage.

To prepare for this episode, I gave my husband the very rare opportunity to tell me how my pride adversely affected our marriage. From this, I share of how I accused him of thinking I was "stupid" just because he disagreed and of a time when I let my prideful heart steal my joy with my grandkids.

Today, isn't just about teaching, it's my testimony. Listen now to hear how God transformed my prideful heart and discover hope for your own journey toward biblical humility in marriage.

Welcome to the best of 2025. Of the 52 episodes that were aired last year on the Faith Lived Out podcast, #108, 2 Essential First Steps To Becoming a Submissive Wife, was the one you listened to the most. Which as a Bible study teacher and submissive wife coach I think is great, because the episode teaches on the two steps that are the foundation for every woman who desires to become a godly wife. These are absolutely the two first things that you need to be successful in your marriage.

If you've listened to this in the past, this will be a great refresher for you, and if this is your first time hearing it, I hope you enjoy it as much as everyone else has. 

No matter how hard we try, no matter how determined we might be, we will not be successful at becoming a submissive wife, without first doing two essential steps.

Yes, we may make some strides here or there, but lasting change, a true change of the heart, only happens when we are willing to put these foundational steps into practice.

How do I know? Because I’ve been there. I was the young wife who desired to do marriage right. Who longed to have a loving marriage that stood the test of time. It was a commitment to these 2 principles that made the difference.

Join me as I share two essential steps that will help you start your journey off right in becoming the godly wife that you want to be. 

Let’s get started.
