This is Part One of our podcast on a very tender topic for us as women: reproductive loss. There is so much grief and heartache in this area of our lives. Miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, abortion, infertility, and failed adoption can shatter our hopes and dreams. We’re somehow left not knowing what to do to navigate the life we live in. With a special guest joining us for this podcast, we’ll share honest journeys of our own losses. We’ll look at questions like: “What is God doing?”, “Why did He allow this?”, “Does He care?”, “Could I have prevented this?” Join us as we look to the Lord for wisdom in bringing peace and strength and restoring hope to broken hearts.

God made a wife to be her husband’s helpmate—to complete him by bringing her gifts, wisdom, strength, and faith alongside him as they live the life God has for them. It’s a very powerful role. But women can easily see it as something that’s “not important” or “lesser” somehow. They don’t fully understand the influence and strength God has built into being a helpmate. It may not come easily or naturally to you, but with God’s Word, input from your husband, and the example of other women, this is an area you can learn to excel in. Join us as we talk about what being a Helpmate has looked like (and does look like) as we’ve walked in many different seasons of life.

We’ve talked a lot about our husbands in this podcast. We frequently refer to our marriages/family and the work He’s doing there. We couldn’t strive to be biblical women without our men. Join us on this unique podcast as our four husbands are our guests and answer some wonderful questions about how they view Biblical Womanhood — its importance and value and the role they see us playing in living it out (both in our homes/lives now and from before we said “I do.”). Guest speakers: Steve Nelson, Josh Whitney, Richer Thatcher, and Bill Young

The four of us have known each other (and the Lord) for many, many years. But our relationships both with Him and each other, didn’t happen in remarkable and grand life scenarios. No, God wove our stories together in very ordinary ways….in ordinary relationships and circumstances. He met each of us very differently but changed our lives completely. And He has used our four-way bond to unite our hearts and solidify our vision to live our lives for Him. Join us as we have a heartfelt conversation about the amazingly faithful way He has woven our lives together and used us to spur one another along.

Self-control with food is an area most women struggle with (or have struggled with or will struggle with) this side of Heaven. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit and He does want it displayed in our lives. But boy, can it be challenging to form a healthy relationship with food. There can be embarrassment, guilt, and shame in our habits. And what’s the difference between self-control and discipline? Do you need one as well as the other? Join us as we have a very honest conversation about what self-control looks like in our lives and how we tap into the Lord’s power to grow and change.

When we get married, we can dream of “doing it right.” To be the wife and have the marriage that works just the way it does in the books we’ve read and the movies we’ve watched. It doesn’t work like that. 😊 Marriage is His plan and He knows how to work in our hearts and minds to help us be more like Him. But it takes work and time. Wouldn’t it be nice to learn some things earlier than later? Join us as we have a conversation about what we wish we would have known when we were young brides, about things we’ve learned along the way, and about what we’d tell our younger selves.
