  • Kingdom Culture vs. World Culture
    Mar 18 2026

    This week on The Praying Wife Podcast, we’re diving into a powerful and eye-opening topic: Kingdom Culture vs. World Culture.

    Have you ever felt like the way God is calling you to live doesn’t quite match what you see around you? Like the world says one thing… but something in your spirit is pulling you in a different direction?

    That’s because as believers, we are called to live by a different system, one that isn’t shaped by culture, trends, or feelings, but by truth.

    In this episode, we break down:
    - The key differences between the world’s way and God’s way
    - How culture subtly shapes our thinking without us realizing it
    - What it really means to be transformed by the renewing of your mind

    If you’ve ever struggled with identity, relationships, decision-making, or just feeling out of alignment… this episode will help you see why, and how to shift back into Kingdom living.

    📖 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” – Romans 12:2

    🎧 Tune in now, and let’s realign our thinking with God’s truth.

  • The King and His Covenant
    Mar 11 2026

    In this episode, we begin exploring one of the most important themes throughout the Bible: *the Kingdom of God and the covenant relationship between the King and His people.*

    When Jesus came preaching, His message was not simply about religion or even just salvation - it was about *the Kingdom*. A kingdom requires a king, and throughout Scripture we see that God is the ultimate King, and Jesus is the promised King who rules over God’s Kingdom.

    But how do people belong to that Kingdom? The answer is *covenant*.

    In the Bible, a covenant is more than an agreement or contract - it is a sacred, binding relationship established through promises and commitment. From the covenants with Noah, Abraham, and David to the New Covenant established through Jesus, God consistently reveals that His Kingdom operates through covenant relationship with His people.

    When we understand both *the King and His covenant*, we begin to see the Bible not as disconnected stories but as one unfolding plan - God restoring His Kingdom and inviting His people into relationship with Him. Join us as we begin unpacking what it truly means to live under the rule of the King and walk in the promises of His covenant.

  • What Is the Kingdom of God?
    Mar 4 2026

    What exactly is the Kingdom of God?

    When Jesus began His ministry, His message was clear:
    “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

    But what does that actually mean for us today?

    In this episode of The Praying Wife Podcast, we begin a powerful new series on Understanding the Kingdom. We explore what the Kingdom of God truly is, how Jesus taught about it, and why it matters for how we live as believers.

    The Kingdom of God is not just a place we go to one day, it is God’s rule, reign, and authority being established in the hearts and lives of His people right now.

  • Praying Over My Mind
    Jan 28 2026

    Many of the battles we face as women don’t begin in our circumstances, they begin in our minds.

    In this episode, we’re talking about praying over your mind and confronting the quiet lies that try to shape how we see ourselves and our lives. We address common struggles like past hurts, past mistakes, feeling not good enough, questioning your worth, struggling with beauty and confidence, and doubting your ability or intelligence.

    Together, we replace those thoughts with God’s Word, declaring scripture over our minds and learning how to take our thoughts captive and align them with truth. This is an invitation to stop rehearsing the lies and start speaking life, healing, and identity over yourself.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in your thoughts, weighed down by guilt, comparison, or insecurity, this episode is for you.
