Wifey Wednesdays

On this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily looks at the book of Philippians to find our next powerful example: the negative example of disagreement. Not getting along affects more than just those between whom the disagreement takes place, as these two sisters teach us. The Lord’s work is far more important than our own preferences, and chapter 2 of the letter teaches us both the how and why of ridding our hearts of selfish...

Priscilla is not a very well known woman in scripture, but her impact is huge. This episode of Wifey Wednesdays explores what it means to be a supportive worker in the Lord’s work. While Priscilla absolutely supports her husband, there is more to her than that. It seems her primary focus is on supporting the mission of Christ, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to do that. Priscilla is an amazing example for us to ...

The well known matriarch of humanity is well known for all the wrong reasons. This episode of Wifey Wednesdays looks at the problem of letting temptation take hold of you. In Eve’s case, it was taking a leadership position that she was never intended to have. This episode explores the themes of leadership, equality, and submission. There is much to learn from the first woman. 

Emily is exploring the theme of Powerful Women on this season of Wifey Wednesdays. Today, the Old Testament woman discussed is a notable negative example. Gomer shows us many things, including how dangerous it can be to seek attention from those that have no business giving you attention.

The latest episode of Wifey Wednesdays focuses on the matriarch Sarah, whose bad advice has lasting consequences. While her life must have been filled with struggle and stress, the choices made around the promise of a child show a lack of trust in God’s timing and just how powerful the advice of a wife can be. May this episode help us all consider and weigh our words and opinions before speaking.

The newest season of Wifey Wednesdays kicks off with a study of Athaliah, a powerful Old Testament queen who ruled with wickedness in her heart and cruelty towards her family members. Throughout the season, Emily will be looking at different powerful examples in Scripture, sometimes positive and sometimes negative, to see how our lives can be challenged to change and be molded into the image of Jesus. Athaliah provides a r...

This episode of Wifey Wednesdays focuses on the time of the prophets in our Old Testament history. While there was an entire episode dedicated to Elijah, this episode is intended to overview the work of all of the prophets and ultimately showcase how they were pointing to Jesus.

On this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily discusses some of the kings of the northern tribes of Israel that get very little in terms of verses, but receive very much in terms of punishment. There are many lessons to be learned from these unfaithful kings, and seeking to apply them to our lives will, hopefully, lead us closer to the heart of God and spare us from the humiliation that they incurred.

Looking into the life of Judah’s faithful King Asa, we can be encouraged that our own faithfulness is not dependent upon that of our parents. While his grandfather, Rehoboam, and his father, Abijam, were unfaithful kings, Asa broke away from their negative example. He even went so far as to remove his own grandmother from a position of power so that he could be faithful to the Lord. 

There are many great attributes of this ...

This episode of Wifey Wednesdays continues through the Old Testament as we seek to apply the truths of God’s word to our lives today. 

In 1 Kings 14, King Rehoboam is facing a familiar enemy. This episode explores why this enemy has been allowed back into the lives of the tribe of Judah and how we might be able to keep ourselves from our enemy’s advances by heeding the words of Rehoboam’s father, King Solomon.

This episode of Wifey Wednesdays continues in the life of King Jeroboam, the first king of the northern tribe of Israel after the great divide.

Unfortunately, Jeroboam continues down the path of following his own desires instead of following God, and this episode explores the message he is given from God’s prophet Ahijah. This news is going to be awful and affect everyone in Jeroboam’s family. And while it is often more pal...
