Friendship is something many women deeply desire… yet quietly struggle with. You can have history with someone and still feel distant. You can want a deeper connection and still feel unsure of how to build it. You can feel like you’ve changed, and your friendships don’t feel the same anymore.

In this episode, we’re talking about the tension with outgrowing friendships, how to navigate when relationships shift, and how to build friendships that are actually healthy in this season of your life.

Key topics

• Growth and distance in friendships

What do you do when you want more leadership from your husband, but you do not want to respond with pressure, control, resentment, or constant frustration? In this episode, we discuss the tension many women feel when they are carrying a lot and longing for their husbands to step up with greater initiative, responsibility, and spiritual maturity.

We discuss 7 practical and biblical ways women can encourage better leadership in their husbands without trying to force change or carry a role that belongs to God alone.

This episode will encourage you to respond with wisdom, pray with intention, and pursue a healthier picture of partnership and leadership in marriage.
