Marci Ferrell of Thankful Homemaker joins us to discuss how to love our husbands better. As wives, we tend to be good at sacrificial love, but how are we doing at the tender, affectionate phileo kind of love in our marriages? How can you bring honor to the Gospel as a wife?

Jess Pickowicz joins us for her very first podcast interview and she's just as awesome as you had hoped. We talk about everything from superstitions and MC Hammer pants to syncretism and sneezing. Listen all the way to the end for a special treat from Jess. (Did you know she's originally from Boston?...Don't miss it!)

Kevin Laymon joins us on today's episode to share his remarkable testimony from a husband's perspective on the effectiveness of 1 Peter 3:1. Once a convicted felon with a Bible degree, Kevin's wife chose to lovingly, patiently bear with an unbelieving spouse while God graciously used her witness to bring him to salvation. This is a "don't miss" episode. Grab your tissues.

Ellen Castillo is the founder of Word of Hope Ministries and biblicalmentor.com and a certified biblical counselor with IABC. We talked with Ellen about her passion for generational ministry in the pattern of the whole context of Titus Chapter 2.

Butter is better than margarine, despite what recent reports from the AHA have stated. Likewise, godly sorrow is greater than worldly sorrow. We discuss the grace-gift of repentance on today's episode.

Christians have direct access to the One True God through prayer. What constitutes an effective prayer life? This question has left many believers confused and often frustrated because they feel like they aren't getting it right. What makes prayer so important? What are the elements of good prayers? What kind of prayers should we pray? Who is to be the focus of our prayers? We'll tackle these questions for you while you clean the toilet.

Do you throw out the first pancake to get the griddle heat just right? Unlike that first pancake, you might want to hang on to this episode on a woman's identity in Christ rather than her roles. At the very least, see if you can tell the Kims apart.

Change is never easy. We have some exciting changes happening at Women's Hope. God is sovereign over all things, including the plans we've made. How we respond to these changes reveals much about our hearts.
