This season finale is both a closing and a calling. In this episode, I share that I will be stepping away for a while, and we center our hearts again on what God has been speaking all along: we are called to arise. Not by doing more, striving more, or filling our lives with busyness, but by finally becoming who He has already called us to be. Sometimes, the way forward begins by stopping. We stop the noise, the pressure, and the constant doing, so we can step into simply being, by God's grace. I also answer three important questions from wives: • How do I learn and grow in the things shared on this show? • What should a wife do when her husband won't stop drinking? • What is the difference between obedience and submission in marriage? This episode will leave you grounded, refocused, and reminded that your transformation is not earned through effort—but received through surrender. As this season comes to a close, let this be your reminder: You don't need to do more to arise; you just need to start being who God has already called you to be. Stop to Start. End to Begin. Arise.   Note: See Episode 249 on YouTube called: The Cost and Blessings for Being a Biblical Wife!  https://youtu.be/MlVOjC2qEsg   Workbook or FREE Resource ➡️ Helping a Passive Husband Become a Godly Leader: https://www.spicedwife.com/helpingpassivehusband   3 Ways How to Become a Submissive Wife https://youtu.be/LsV8XTBFw_g?si=_p0My6iw1b-dZKeT   Join the Free Support Call https://www.spicedwife.com/supportcall   Get the APP and Join the Wife Revival Program: https://www.spicedwife.com/wiferevivalprogram   Stay in the Loop: Subscribe to the email list: https://www.spicedwife.com/   Subscribe to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCknRAQI5P-lDps5UCbF_ydA   Connect on Socials Instagram ⇢  https://www.instagram.com/spicedwife/ Threads ⇢  https://www.threads.com/@spicedwife?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Podcast ⇢ https://open.spotify.com/show/5G90Mh7zI9Q1BKkpXq0EuH ::: NEW SUBSCRIBER ::: Hey girl, hey!

In this episode, we answer a candid sex question from a wife and share a few laughs about arising in both comfort and confidence—embracing femininity and sex appeal without overthinking it. We then turn to the often-misunderstood story of Job's wife, a woman with a poor reputation whose words are frequently judged without grace. Together, we explore what it looks like to extend compassion instead of condemnation, especially when our husband is difficult to understand or walk with. This episode encourages wives to honor God, resist the temptation to give up too quickly, and learn how to endure marriage with faith—even in the hardest seasons.   Videos on having an Ungodly Husband: ➡️Should you submit to an "ungodly" husband? https://youtu.be/PPIPTRrePBY   ➡️Submit???… But what if I don't agree?!? https://youtu.be/vSNEsYggRb8   ➡️How to Submit to An Ungodly Husband (Part 1) https://youtu.be/lqDcK74-pNQ Get the APP and Join the Wife Revival Program: https://www.spicedwife.com/wiferevivalprogram   Submit a Question: https://www.spicedwife.com/contact   Stay in the Loop: Subscribe to the email list: https://www.spicedwife.com/   Subscribe to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCknRAQI5P-lDps5UCbF_ydA   Connect on Socials Instagram ⇢  https://www.instagram.com/spicedwife/ Podcast ⇢ https://open.spotify.com/show/5G90Mh7zI9Q1BKkpXq0EuH   ::: NEW SUBSCRIBER ::: Hey girl, hey!

Today, we are stepping out of the shadows where life dictates our emotions and choosing to arise in truth. This episode is about understanding the power God has given us to decide—how we think, how we respond, and how we live. Don't remain in a prison of your own making. Freedom begins with a decision. Choose to think better, live freer, and see life through a renewed mind.   Videos on having an Ungodly Husband: ➡️Should you submit to an "ungodly" husband? https://youtu.be/PPIPTRrePBY   ➡️Submit???… But what if I don't agree?!? https://youtu.be/vSNEsYggRb8   ➡️How to Submit to An Ungodly Husband (Part 1) https://youtu.be/lqDcK74-pNQ Get the APP and Join the Wife Revival Program: https://www.spicedwife.com/wiferevivalprogram   Submit a Question: https://www.spicedwife.com/contact   Stay in the Loop: Subscribe to the email list: https://www.spicedwife.com/   Subscribe to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCknRAQI5P-lDps5UCbF_ydA   Connect on Socials Instagram ⇢  https://www.instagram.com/spicedwife/ Podcast ⇢ https://open.spotify.com/show/5G90Mh7zI9Q1BKkpXq0EuH   ::: NEW SUBSCRIBER ::: Hey girl, hey!

Today's episode calls us to arise as wise wives, not mothers to our husbands. Our husbands don't need a second mom, and many of us slip into that role without realizing it. We'll talk about how to identify motherly behaviors in marriage, why they hinder change, and practical ways to shift back into a healthy, God-honoring wifely posture.

In this episode, we talk about what may be blocking our ability to hear from God clearly. We also answer two powerful questions from wives: • One wife asks how to hold on to hope and faith while separated from her husband. • Another asks whether she should submit when her husband wants to control finances he isn't contributing to. Together, we'll unpack these questions with wisdom, biblical perspective, and encouragement.   Get the APP and Join the Wife Revival Program: https://www.spicedwife.com/wiferevivalprogram   Submit a Question: https://www.spicedwife.com/contact   Stay in the Loop: Subscribe to the email list: https://www.spicedwife.com/   Subscribe to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCknRAQI5P-lDps5UCbF_ydA   Connect on Socials Instagram ⇢  https://www.instagram.com/spicedwife/ Podcast ⇢ https://open.spotify.com/show/5G90Mh7zI9Q1BKkpXq0EuH   ::: NEW SUBSCRIBER ::: Hey girl, hey!

Have you ever asked Him for help and felt like the guidance you received wasn't direct, simple, or easy to grasp?
