Are you wondering how you’re doing as a submissive wife and what it means to honor God in your role?

In this episode, I invite you to join me for a gentle, honest self-check as we explore what it means to be a submissive wife and a godly Christian woman. I share my own journey, scriptural insights, and practical questions to help you reflect on your heart and your marriage.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been married for years, I want to encourage you with biblical wisdom and real-life application for your walk as a wife.

Let's get started.

• Biblical submission is about trusting God’s design, not losing your voice
• Respect and humility are essential for a godly marriage
• Every wife—including me—has areas to grow, and that’s okay
• Honest self-check questions help us reflect and take action
• God’s grace is sufficient for every step of our journey

Welcome to the best of 2025. Of the 52 episodes that were aired last year on the Faith Lived Out podcast, #108, 2 Essential First Steps To Becoming a Submissive Wife, was the one you listened to the most. Which as a Bible study teacher and submissive wife coach I think is great, because the episode teaches on the two steps that are the foundation for every woman who desires to become a godly wife. These are absolutely the two first things that you need to be successful in your marriage.

If you've listened to this in the past, this will be a great refresher for you, and if this is your first time hearing it, I hope you enjoy it as much as everyone else has.

No matter how hard we try, no matter how determined we might be, we will not be successful at becoming a submissive wife, without first doing two essential steps.

Yes, we may make some strides here or there, but lasting change, a true change of the heart, only happens when we are willing to put these foundational steps into practice.

How do I know? Because I’ve been there. I was the young wife who desired to do marriage right. Who longed to have a loving marriage that stood the test of time. It was a commitment to these 2 principles that made the difference.

Join me as I share two essential steps that will help you start your journey off right in becoming the godly wife that you want to be.

Let’s get started.
