The Keeping the Citadel Podcast

Heather Faria

Biblical womanhood was never meant to be boring, passive, or inconsequential. The Keeping the Citadel Podcast is for women who want to embrace the high calling of home and build homes, families, and lives wholly devoted to Christ. Join Heather Faria for conversations rooted in Scripture on biblical womanhood, marriage, motherhood, homemaking, discipleship, home education, hospitality, beauty, suffering, and fruitful Christian living. Along the way, you’ll hear from women who are faithfully living out their callings and find practical encouragement for your own. We want to call women higher. Women today don’t need any more coddling, they need to be exhorted to robust, courageous, productive living for the Kingdom of God. They need to be told where their battle posts are and how to live out their unique calling. They need to be taught how godly women can properly engage in this battle against the powers of darkness. And we believe that such women are the most valuable in this fight when faithfully manning their posts at home….or as we like to say, their Citadels. So join us. Help us bear the flame. Embrace your high calling. Live a better story. And keep the flame of your citadel burning brightly.

    The Stones that Build a Solid Marriage with Christin Hunt

    Have a question or comment? Send a text! What does it actually take to build a godly marriage that will stand the test of time? In this episode of our Cornerstones of the Citadel series, Heather sits down with Christin Hunt to talk about the foundation beneath a strong and enduring Christian marriage. Together, they discuss the expectations we bring into marriage, the slow and ordinary work of building a life together, and the importance of focusing not merely on what our husband needs to change—but on the kind of wife Christ is shaping us to become. Drawing from Christin’s article, “The Stones We Bring,” in the Fall issue of Keeping the Citadel Magazine, they explore four essential building stones of a godly marriage—holiness, honesty, honor, and hope—along with the habits and convictions that strengthen a marriage over decades. Christin also shares from her own life and experience as a pastor’s wife, including the unique pressures ministry can place on a marriage and home, how to protect the marriage covenant while faithfully serving the church, and encouragement for the pastor’s wife who may be weary in the work. A strong marriage isn’t built in a day. Stone by stone, year by year, Christ shapes us and teaches us to build upon Him—the true Cornerstone.
