The Wise Wife Podcast

In continuing our study on the Armor of God, Natasha emphasizes the importance of actively using faith as a shield against the enemy's attacks, allowing us to advance into battle rather than passively taking the hits.

Drawing parallels with Roman military strategies and Japanese samurai tactics to underscore the need for discipline, resilience, and unwavering faith, Natasha also highlights the significance of viewing our hardships as God's gracious discipline.

With the shield of faith, we can be encouraged to charge into battle, trusting in God's promises and eternal rewards!

In this episode, Natasha reflects on how unprepared many of us are for marriage and the unrealistic expectations we can easily bring with us into our relationships. As we unpack the importance of allowing time and space for spiritual growth in both our husband and ourselves, Natasha takes us through the next piece of armor in our Armor of God series. Tune in to hear about the significance of preparing our heart and mind with the gospel of peace and how it will enable you to face the spiritual battles that come in both marriage and life.

When facing marriage breakdown, Natasha made the mistake of embracing self-righteousness and it only led to further destruction. In this episode, she explores the significance of true righteousness, found in Jesus, as she explores the breastplate of righteousness as a spiritual weapon.

Natasha delves into the meaning of righteousness, the importance of faith and love, and the relationship between belief, actions, and salvation. She also encourages listeners to understand God's character, and their own authority in Christ, as they seek breakthrough in their marriage.

The enemy tries to deceive us and prevent us from knowing the WHOLE truth. We saw it with Eve in the Garden and his tricks haven't changed much since then.

Today's episode emphasizes the significance of being able to discern real truth from partial and half-truths and how these half-truths can hinder our spiritual growth and understanding. For when we have the real truth, we can step out in confidence and clarity -- no more second guessing, no more fear of the consequences, no more being manipulated by the sinful actions of others.

Are you feeling totally overwhelmed at your circumstances? Are you tired of getting knocked down by the things your husband is saying or doing? In today's episode, Natasha shares a critical strategy to help shift your mindset from the natural realm -- what you see and hear -- to the spiritual realm. And it is in the spiritual realm where true and lasting change can happen!

The Bible tells us to not wage war the way the world does but to tap into the divine weapons we have through the authority given to us through Jesus. Today we explore the significance of the most powerful spiritual weapon available to us.

In addition to experiencing the "fullness of life" we read about in Ephesians 3:19, embracing this spiritual weapon also leads us to better understand our spiritual assignment.

When Satan can’t outright convince you to embrace sin, he will try to get you to embrace faulty beliefs that keep you ineffective. One of the most common attacks I see in women who are obediently fighting to save their marriages is the sneaky exploitation of your own good intentions.

In this episode, we talk about how Satan can exploit your desire for holiness by subtly convincing you that your good works are enough to save your marriage. Or, on the contrary, that you're not doing enough good works to deserve marriage breakthrough. But Jesus didn't come for a transaction -- He came to KNOW you and to introduce you to the love of the Father.

Natasha shares her own story of coming to a better understanding of the Trinity and how each Person within it wants to know you for who you are, not what you do.

The enemy wants you to believe that you’re in a fight against your husband, that the fight is about changing your circumstances, and that because you see no sign of life in the natural, there is no hope of anything improving or changing for the better.

But it's time to learn how to fight the right fight and use the powerful divine weapons that we have as part of our inheritance in Christ.

When we think about pride, we often think about boastful people who are full of themselves. And while that may be one sign someone is struggling with pride, there are many more (sneakier) ways that this common human condition can be hindering us and keeping us from the growth God has for us!

Root it out and be free today so you can step into all that God is calling you to!

When marriages break down, there is almost always another person involved. Whether it's a full-blown physical affair or an emotional affair based in fantasy, the wife left behind often struggles with feeling inadequate when comparing herself to the other woman.

In today's episode, Natasha shares why that comparison is inherently wrong and what you can do to safeguard yourself against it.
