Episodes
The Power of Being a Biblical Helpmate
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 nat
When Expectations Disappoint
We all have expectations, don’t we? Our culture sends us the message that we can expect anything we want. What does the Bible say? Are their biblical hopes and expectations that are God-honoring? When expectations aren’t met, we’re left with disappointment; we need to know how to navigate that in a biblical way. We also need to understand how our responses reveal our hearts and even what we believ
Meet Our Husbands
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 i
He Weaves the Stories of Our Lives
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 he
Self-Control: Food
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 discipl
The Truth About Marriage We Learned Along the Way
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
Purity
Pursuing purity in our world is not easy. The culture we live in is hyper-sexualized, full of temptation, and tells us to go ahead and do what we want to. Our thoughts, words, and actions easily lead us down the path of impurity, and the consequences can be severe. We need to be women who know how to guard ourselves against sin and temptation and cling to His Word. We also need to know how to move
Strengthening the Heart of a Mother When Mothering Against the Norm
Women face pressures in our world today (not just as mothers but also as single women) as they strive to live in the role God has called them to. Pressures come from family, expectations from others/self, wanting to please our children and the fear of missing out. Just to name a few. Then come the questions: Should our children play sports? Should we let them have a phone? Is there an age to start
Idolatry
It’s easy to think that idolatry existed only in the Old Testament, and that it only had to do with golden calves or wooden statues. But the truth is, idolatry is alive and well in our lives today. We may not always recognize our idols, but they are most certainly there. Our hearts are drawn away from Jesus and we find them clinging to people and things. A good thing becomes a controlling thing. W
Thanksgiving and Gratefulness
Being thankful and grateful are not quite as “easy” as we can tend to think it is. It’s so easy to grumble and complain about the smallest things. There are also root sins in our lives that can hinder us from growing a thankful heart. And when suffering comes into our lives, we can forget who God is and what He has done for us. We need the encouragement of the Word, His Spirit, and other believers
Podcast Ponderings
In this month’s podcast, we decided to do something a little different. Rather than address a specific topic, we thought it would be helpful/encouraging to take a look “behind the scenes” in how our podcasts come to life. We’ve had numerous listeners ask us many of the same questions (ie: “Where do you get your topics/questions?”, “How do you prepare?”). We wanted to share with you how truly bless
Busy at Home
In Titus 2:3-4, we find some pretty clear verses for what the Lord has for young mothers. They are to be “busy at home.” What exactly does that mean? Could it possibly still have relevance in the year 2025? The Bible is a book written for all time and it lays out a beautiful blueprint for how our Creator wants to use the uniquely designed female to inhabit and influence her home. None of our lives
Submission in Marriage — A Closer Look
Last month we looked at what it means to live a life of submission to one another. We laid some groundwork for how God wants us to live in relationship to one another. (If you haven’t heard it yet, we encourage you to.) This month we’re talking more specifically about submission in marriage. What does the Lord call us to (and not call us to) as we live to please Him as wives? What does this look l
A Life of Submission
What does it mean to live a life of submission? One yielded to His good plans for our lives? This isn’t a podcast about submission as wives, but rather as women who want to live lives pleasing to the Lord. We have daily opportunities to serve, love, and give ourselves to the people and situations around us. But it isn’t always easy. There is a death of the “self” that has to happen and we need His
Walking in a Marriage of Forgiveness Instead of Bitterness
Our marriages are full of opportunities to love our husbands and honor the Lord as we do it. They are also full of opportunities to sin against our husbands and not confidently walk the road of forgiveness when we’ve been hurt or sinned against. Instead, we can harbor a bitter heart and our view of and relationship with our husbands is not at all what it should be. It’s not always easy to “make t
Modesty in Our Clothes — It’s More Than You Think
In our world today, you don’t see a lot of modesty in the way women dress. Culture tends to think it’s an outdated notion and why can’t women wear whatever they want? The Bible may have been written centuries ago, but it’s absolutely relevant for our lives today. The Lord has good and helpful thoughts to steer us in this area. And as we grow in our understanding of who we are in Him, our heart can
The Snare of Compare
Comparing ourselves to others is a universal struggle. We’ve all done it. Whether it’s connected to our physical appearance or our abilities or our possessions. It’s so easy to do and it almost never ends well. It can cause bitterness, envy, pride, and insecurity. It’s a matter of the heart and needs God’s truth to help us sort it out and weed it out. We need to apply His ways to our lives and lea
Mothering with Hope
Being a mother is an amazingly wonderful calling on our lives. It is also very hard work. We can feel the pressure to be that “perfect” mom or have our “performance/what we do” and the desired outcome of our efforts be what drives us. When that happens, our hope is not in God. God has called us to live by grace and leave the outcome of mothering to Him. Join us as we talk about what this struggle
Memorizing Bible Verses
We need to be women who memorize Bible verses. We know that it has the ability to change our lives in so many necessary ways. Everything from transforming our minds to bringing us comfort, encouragement, admonishment, and hope. The list is endless. But it’s not always easy to memorize and when challenges present themselves, we can oftentimes get discouraged and stop trying. Instead, we need to arm
Budgeting & Finances for Women
We need to be good stewards of all that He gives us and this certainly includes our money. We should be careful to live in a way that honors Him. This is a call to understanding budgeting and finances. This may seem easier for some as they have more money. But is it necessarily about the money we have or is it a matter of the heart? Join us as we talk very practically about what budgeting looks li
Sharpening One Another in Marriage
Being married is a part of God’s good plan and it brings amazing blessings into our lives. However, it also reveals areas we need to work on, both in ourselves and in our husbands. And the necessary conversations we need to have about those areas aren’t always easy. So, just how do you speak into your husband’s life in a way that honors God and helps your husband grow? Practically speaking, are th
Good Deeds —Serving in the Body of Believers
Being a part of a church family means many wonderful things. Serving within your church family is on God’s heart and needs to be on ours. We may struggle in living this out for either lack of understanding or not knowing how to make it happen in the busy and different seasons of our lives. How do we overcome those struggles and do what He asks? What kinds of blessings are there for us as we lay do
Getting Counsel
Getting counsel before making decisions used to be the norm in the Christian life. It’s not so much anymore. Why is that? It could be because people either don’t know about it as a biblical resource, or they feel like they’d rather search the internet and not have to interact with “a real person” (who might not tell them what they want to hear). No matter the reason, lack of counsel can lead to un
Willingly Laying Down Your Life for Your Family
Laying down your life for your family isn’t necessarily easy. We can easily know the Lord has called us to it, but it’s hard work (often found in small, daily choices), calls for sacrifice (oftentimes in ways that feel very personal), and needs a vision that can only come from the Lord. The world we live in lies to us about what this means and what it should look like. We need the Truth to keep us
Principles for Political Engagement
Talking about politics and Christianity and how they go together (or don’t) can be a touchy subject. Is there value in us talking about it as Christian women and citizens of the U.S.? How do we decide who to vote for and what happens when people have differing opinions than ours? Is it possible to face the future with hope and courage? Some of our answers might just surprise you. Join us as we tal
Loving Your Husband — Phileo Love (Friendship Love)
One of the ways God wants us to love our husbands is with phileo love. This is a friendship love, one of personal affection, tenderness, and companionship. It’s a type of love that we can often overlook or under-value. How does He want us to love our husbands in this way? We need to better understand it to walk in it. Join us as we talk about how we phileo love our husbands with practical tips and
Self-Control in Our Speech
God wants us to be women who are self-controlled in our speech. We know it isn’t easy. Our speech can get us into trouble. Whether we struggle with anger, gossip, or simply saying too many words, we need His help to change and grow. Thankfully, His Word is full of wisdom and practical ways to grow. By His power, it’s possible to become a woman who is self-controlled in her speech. Join us as we ta
Hospitality
God wants us to be hospitable. The Bible is pretty clear about that but sometimes we can get confused about what it means. Do we need to only use the good dishes and buy expensive food? Is it something you can only do if you have a home and family? The answer is “No!” —Hospitality is having a heart to love like Jesus did, in community and fellowship. You don’t need much to see Him bless your heart
Homeschooling — The Elementary
As parents, our hearts long to be involved in our children’s lives and for some, that means homeschooling them. It’s not for everyone, nor should it be. But if God calls your family to homeschool, it’s good to know why, and how to answer some of the questions you’ll no doubt get asked (ie: “What about socialization?”). What are some of the pros and cons of homeschooling and some daily practicals i
Sexual Intimacy
Sexual Intimacy
Physical intimacy within marriage is a true gift from God. He designed it and has good plans for it within the relationship between husband and wife. It’s important we understand some foundations of this gift along with some honest differences between men and women, and the critical importance of good/healthy communication. Join us as we talk about how to grow in this precious area
People Pleasing
Being a people pleaser affects so many areas of our lives — friendships, marriages, parenting, decision making, our ability to share the gospel (or resolve conflict) and address sin or receive criticism. It’s clear that we need His help to properly balance all of those areas. We want to be women who live for the audience of One and be willing to disappoint others along the way. But how do we do th
Living out Biblical Truths as a Single Christian Woman
It can be a struggle to be single and know how to practically trust God for a potential husband. Does He have marriage for you or not? How do we navigate that road and the wait He often has for us while walking it? We know He ultimately gives the best to us whether that’s being married or remaining single. Join us as we have our first podcast guest with us (Elizabeth Nelson) and talk about what si
Home Management - 2 of 2
Home Management
A new year is ahead of us and many of us want to work on how we manage our homes. How can we be faithful with all that He has given us to manage? There are practicals as well as attitudes which we need to work on, no matter what season of life we’re in. We all have different personalities and different homes so how do we move forward in all we want to see happen? Join us as we shar

Living with and Controlling Your Emotions
Emotions are a very real part of us. They can be so wonderful and yet also so challenging to manage. What does it look like for us to have self-control in this area and honor the Lord with them? We’re all so different…some of us tend to “give in” to how we’re feeling when the emotions are strong and others would rather “stuff” them and not deal with them. Both responses need the Lord’s help to nav
Teaching Your Children Self-Control
We all need self-control. Our children need us to help them learn it and grow in it. Our culture encourages our children to have their “big emotions” and respond to their feelings. The Bible tells us we need to control our emotions (verbally, emotionally, and physically) and that a man without self-control is like an unprotected city. It’s dangerous. As parents, we are called to help equip our chi
Time with the Lord
It’s important to spend time with the Lord. This is both a discipline and a relationship. And what that time looks like changes over the years as we are in different seasons of life. From babies, to toddlers to demanding work schedules to sickness — we need to be flexible but also pro-active and creative in living it out. And what do you do when your quiet times are rather “quiet” and you’re not s
Respecting Your Husband
Ephesians 5:33b says, “…each of you also must love his wife…and the wife must respect her husband.” This is the godly assignment that the Lord has given us as wives. It’s not always easy to do. Especially in a world that tells us our husbands must earn respect first. That is not what this verse says. We want to be women who fully embrace what it means to respect our husbands and bring glory to the
Body Image
We live in a very visual world, one that tells us what we should look like and why. Thankfully, God sees our bodies very differently than the world does, and values so much more than how much we weigh or the size of our jeans. We want to be women who glorify God with our bodies and how we use them for Him. Join us as we talk about real struggles, real victories, and the real help that can only be
What is Biblical Womanhood?
What is Biblical Womanhood? How does it make a practical difference in my life? As we’re called by God to be a different kind of woman, we need to be able answer these questions (and more) as we see what biblical womanhood looks like in our lives. Join us “live” from our Faithcamp podcast as we talk about some of our stories and examples as we walk this road with you.

The teen years are not easy. But they can be rich, rewarding, and sweet. It takes work, creativity, and God’s constant guidance to navigate them. Join us as we share struggles/victories, practical ideas for teen relationships, discipline, attitudes, and honest conversations we’ve learned along the way.

Self Care
We live in a world that talks a lot about “self-care.” Women are encouraged to make sure they’re happy or feel good about themselves (amidst the demands of their lives). What does that mean for the Christian woman? How do you lay your life down for others (as the Bible calls us to do) and yet meet the legitimate needs in your life? Join us as we talk about the biblical principles and guidelines fo
Living in Light of Eternity
Life on earth is short and eternity is long. In light of that, it's important that our relationships be lived for Jesus—in every season of our lives. But what does that practically look like? We want to be women who live lives that please the Lord and then pass that on to others.
Mothering
Being a mother is hard work — a lifelong calling to die to yourself. We need to be faithful and steadfast in the work and yielded to what He has for us daily. As we focus on our earlier years as mothers (when our children were little and we were just starting out) we talk about our struggles and victories on the long (and wonderful) road of mothering.
Knowing God’s Will for Our Lives for Singles
Because God’s will is revealed in His Word, we need to know and understand what it says. As we learn His ways (and hear His voice), we gain a better understanding of how to make the “big” decisions in life (“Should I get married?”, “Is that the job for me?”) as well as following His will in the small, daily decisions (“What should I do today?”)

Bringers of Good - Proverbs 31:10-12
The Bible tells us that wives are their husband’s helpmates, designed to bring them good. What does that mean and how can we walk in it? What can a helpmate do and what is good for our husbands? Join us as we talk about questions like these and dig a little deeper into His Word for practical applications.
