In today’s episode, I share how I spent years misusing Scripture and shrinking myself inside my marriage—all because of the messages Christian women were taught 35 years ago about obedience, submission, and “being a good wife.” I talk through how Romans 14:12 opened my eyes to biblical autonomy and how stepping into Spirit-led adulthood changed everything for my marriage and my walk with God.

Good news friend, You can be a loving, respectful, Christ-honoring wife and a grounded, autonomous woman. You don’t have to make yourself small to honor God.

What is one area of your life where you’ve been waiting for permission to be the woman God already called you to be?

Marriage & Self-Confidence - You are not a Burden

In today’s episode of The Worthy Wife, we talk about the identity-level pain behind the thought “I don’t want to be a burden.” This conversation is for every Christian wife, empty nester, or woman walking on eggshells in her marriage who struggles with self-confidence, worthiness, and believing she deserves to take up space. You’ll learn why this belief forms, how it affects your Christian marriage, and the Scriptural truth that you are a full heir with Christ — never a burden.

Can You Trust What You Want? When Delighting in God Shapes Your Desires

When I first learned that God gives us “the desires of our heart,” I used to think that meant if I behaved well enough, He’d reward me with what I wanted. But over time, I’ve learned that delighting in Him actually reshapes what I want.

In this episode, I talk about what it means to truly delight in the Lord — to enjoy His presence — and how that transforms our desires into something trustworthy. We’ll look at what happens when we stop distrusting our hearts and start believing that God really is working through them.

If you’ve ever felt afraid to want something — or worried that your longings might lead you astray — this one is for you.

“Am I in a Toxic Marriage? Understanding God’s Design, Your Worth, and Your Calling”

In this episode of The Worthy Wife, we talk about one of the most tender and confusing questions a Christian wife can face:

“Am I in a toxic marriage?”

If you’ve been feeling unsure, walking on eggshells, or questioning whether what you’re experiencing is “normal conflict” or something deeper — this conversation is for you.

We explore:

✨ God’s original design for women as equal, purposeful partners

You were created as an ezer kenegdo — a strong, equal companion. A marriage that consistently diminishes your voice is out of alignment with God’s intent.

✨ What toxicity actually looks like in a marriage

Not just conflict, but patterns of disrespect, emotional imbalance, control, manipulation, and a lack of emotional or spiritual safety.

✨ The internal warning signs wives often overlook

Feeling smaller, losing joy, questioning your own reality, or sensing God gently drawing your attention to something you’ve minimized.

✨ The Christian pressure that keeps many wives silent

Submission does not mean disappearing. Jesus never asked you to carry the weight of someone else’s sin.

✨ How to discern God’s voice and recognize patterns

We talk about the role of peace, fruit, your body’s signals, and spiritual clarity.

✨ Practical steps for wives seeking clarity

From journaling to praying for discernment, to connecting with safe support.

You Are Not Alone

You are not too sensitive.

You are not imagining things.

And you are not dishonoring God by seeking clarity.

Have you ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells in your marriage — doing your best to keep the peace, hold everything together, and make everyone else happy… but feeling a little lost in the process?

In this week’s episode of The Worthy Wife, Carrie shares how learning radical responsibility — through a faith-filled lens — can bring healing, peace, and confidence back into your marriage.

You’ll discover 3 powerful ways to strengthen your marriage by focusing on what God has placed in your hands and letting go of what was never yours to carry.

This conversation is especially for the wife who feels:

• Like she’s doing everything but nothing seems to change.
• Unsure of how to rebuild self-confidence in her marriage.
• Stuck in old patterns of people-pleasing or perfection.
• Lonely as an empty nester or in a new season of life, wondering who she is now.

Through Scripture, honest reflection, and practical encouragement, you’ll learn how to:

1. Take responsibility for your response, not your spouse’s reaction.
2. Guard your heart posture and keep it tender toward God.
3. Focus on your obedience, not the outcome.

Because peace in marriage doesn’t come from control — it comes from surrendering it all to God.

And when you take radical responsibility for your part, God restores your confidence, your connection, and your joy. 💛

• Ephesians 4:29
• Proverbs 4:23
• 1 Corinthians 3:6
• Galatians 6:5
