Living Easy with Lindsey

They discuss how to be a good steward with a compassionate heart while also discerning how, when, and whom to give to. David and Lindsey hone in on how the prosperity gospel diminishes the weight of Christ's life and Jesse shares why and how our perspective of heavenly treasures should vastly outweigh the blessings and rewards we pursue on earth.

I'm BACK! Thank you all so much for your grace during my sabbath rest. It was SO needed. On today's scripture-packed episode, Lindsey Maestas discusses the importance of stewarding your money wisely and having a solid money mindset as a Christian. She shares her own struggles with finances and the ways that she and her husband have grown together in their knowledge of making wise decisions early on and what they have learned along the way. We are (thankfully) moving away from a time in our world when pay transparency, pay equality and debt were just not discussed and we are moving INTO a generation where we have an openness about money. I believe that this is leading us toward further success and wisdom in regards to our salaries, our savings and our investments. Jesus Himself emphasized the importance of being faithful with what you have throughout scripture. He promises to provide. Are you trusting Him? Do you truly believe that God will provide for your needs? Let's talk about it!

God did not grant us salvation so that we can rest and relax and chill in who we already were. He has called us up. He has called us to live as He did. To walk alongside sinners and broken people while guarding our hearts with wisdom and faith. Let's talk about it (even if your struggle is more often than the holidays!) P.S. I will be back in late February or early March! I love you guys! Happy New Year!

P.P.S. Due to extremely high demand, I have decided to keep The Wife Project OPEN for purchase indefinitely! Start 2022 with a refreshed, healthier and more joyful and fun marriage by registering today as an early Christmas gift to yourself!

Today's episode is with a woman whom I have admired for a long time and she was everything I imagined she would be!

The sweet Liz Marie Galvan shows that she is the real deal as we talk about the social media boundaries we are creating for ourselves during the holidays and how we handle burnout. We both talk about the necessary sabbath time that we have away from our phones during the holidays and the importance of shutting off social media.

Faith and emotions are not exclusive and separate. Emotional and mental stability are not always 'fixed' by faith and sometimes it is just not possible to pray the depression or anxiety away. Mental health has become a much more widely discussed topic within the church and our sweet guest, Toni Collier, shares her perspective on the balance between trusting God and also feeling the feelings that He has created us to experience while not allowing our feelings to sway our obedience of God's word.

It's easy to end a long night of bedtime routines and go your separate ways from your spouse to find some rest and relaxation. It's easy to love and protect our little ones so much that we lose sight of the needs of our spouse. But when a family is not structured the way that God has designed it to be, it begins to create a slow drift that will eventually drown a marriage.

P.S. You guys, it's time! The Wife Project Course: From Roommates to Soulmates is HERE for the FINAL LAUNCH! Don't miss it! Fight for a happier, healthier marriage in 2022 - it begins with you because nobody else will do it for you. In a society that treats our marriages as disposable, we have to do the hard work & fight in faith to fulfill God's beautiful design of marriage. The easy way out is very rarely the best way out.

On today's episode, Jesse and I share our own experiences with the damage caused by a child-centered marriage after we had our first son. We discuss the moment that we were called out on it and what we have learned from that point.

We share practical wisdom on how to restructure your family dynamic, or simply strengthening it, and why this design is created to help us, not hurt us. We pray that this conversation helps your marriage immensely and causes you to seek Jesus in the way that He wants to shift your family focus and design.

Faith and leadership aren't always linear. My husband, Jesse, has struggled for years with his faith, his understanding of God's role in his life and also with his role as the leader of our family. There were many days in which I struggled with feeling deceived by him, because the faithful man that I dated was not the struggling man that I was married to.

As a wife and mom, I have personally taken over the leadership role for many years in taking my boys to church, reading the Bible, praying over them and more. God has been drawing Jesse in recently in a way that I have never seen and we are both realizing how much Jesus has taught us along the way.

In this honest conversation, Jesse and I discuss how to navigate a spiritually dry or unbelieving spouse, the list of unhealthy expectations that I had coming into marriage, the ways I hurt Jesse and helped Jesse when he was doubting God and more.

Ruth Chou Simons preached to my heart today. I cried as she spoke truth over me and this audience about the freedom given in life, in accomplishments and in motherhood via God's grace.

Ruth's new book, When Strivings Cease, speaks to women in all walks of life who are filled with anxiety because of the pressure to lead, pressure to be productive, pressure to seize the day or pressure to parent well around the clock.

XO!

Josh and Jaelyn Harrel (@restoredliving) are boldly sharing their story of infidelity, betrayal, confusion and God's redeeming grace.

I know that not every story ends this way, I have had relationships near and dear to me that ended after an affair, but I have also been very fortunate to see the true reconciliation that Jesus can bring after very real betrayal.

During today's conversation, Josh and Jaelyn discuss the hardship that they faced when Josh had a deep, emotional affair, that included photos and videos, with someone of the same sex.

They discuss the impact that pornography and sexual addiction has on a marriage, but most importantly, the very real work that Jesus has done within their marriage since that point. They discuss the healing process, the struggle in pursuing intimacy after the fact, accountability and how Jesus has been the healer of their hearts.

I pray that, for anyone who has walked through the tragedy of marital betrayal, that you will also see the genuine HOPE that comes with the death of Christ on the cross for our sins and brokenness. It does not have to be the end of your story.

For those of you wives who may be struggling within your marriages, whether it is from small or large betrayals, or if you just want to grow closer with your spouse and become best friends again, I want to remind you that The Wife Project Course: From Roommates to Soulmates will have its FINAL launch on Nov. 7th! This 8 1/2-week course has been transforming marriages and deeply impacting women who are single, engaged, and those married for 5 months to 50 years. We discuss biblical forgiveness, pursuit, navigating marriage with a spiritually dry spouse, how to have fun again, and so much more!
