    26 | Season 2 wrap-up & a personal note from Candace...

    Dear Friend, I can’t believe that we are already wrapping-up Season 2! I am so thankful for our guests this season and the opportunity we’ve had to go through the book of Ephesians together! I will be sharing a little today about what’s upcoming for Coaches’ Wives Ministry. I will also be sharing some of what I’ve been walking through personally these past few years since we launched as a ministry, and what I’ve been learning with Jesus through some very difficult seasons. I pray you will be encouraged through it, and that even if you are entering into a season of transition, job loss or battles of any kind, that your heart will be strengthened by His Word to stand firm. “...in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:37-39   Love to you all, 💕Candace   Coaches' Wives!

    25 | Ephesians 6: Standing Firm in Battle

    Dear Friend, I’m sure your husband has coached those athletes who have the “it” factor. You can’t really explain it, but they can rise above challenges and accomplish things on the field or court, on the mat or even in the weight room that go beyond normal athletic ability. As we talk about the armor of God in Ephesians 6 today, we need to remember that as Christians, we too can have that “it” factor to walk through any battle with peace, strength, confidence and wisdom. The armor of God gives us everything we need to STAND FIRM in every battle of every season in a supernatural way that goes beyond explanation. Ultimately, what we have as believers in the battle is Jesus Christ as our captain, and no one has ever had a captain like Him. I will close with a quote that I share in our episode today, and it is a great encouragement for Standing Firm in battle. So thankful for the opportunity to walk with you through the entire book of Ephesians over these past few weeks! “Trajan, the great Roman Captain, when he was on the field of battle would take his own armor off and put it on his wounded men. He would tear his own garments up and use them as bandages, but that's nothing compared to Jesus. Because Jesus Christ tore himself to deal with your wounds, and he took the spear that was meant for us into his own heart so that all of our deaths can be paid. Put on the full armor of God- because Jesus Christ made himself vulnerable for you, you can become protected in Him." -Tim Keller Love to you all, 💕Candace To join or learn more about the Standing Firm zoom study with other coaches’ wives, text “Bible Study” to #1-833-237-0082 SUPPORT SEASON 2!

    24 | Ephesians 5: Standing Firm in Love & Sacrifice

    Dear Friend, If you have been married more than a day, you’ve probably realized that your husband is not perfect- and neither are you! Marriage brings out the best and the worst in us and it matures us in Christ in a way that no other relationship can do. We do face unique challenges in our marriages as coaches’ wives (henceforth terms like single parent and football widow), but when we remember that Jesus is the perfect husband and we are His bride the church, everything else seems to gain proper perspective. So as we look at Ephesians 5 today in this episode, we will be focusing on the love and sacrifice of Jesus- standing firm in God’s love and sacrifice for us and overflowing from there. This should be the basis of all our relationships, and I’m excited to take a look at these life-changing truths with you. “.....And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:2 Love to you all, 💕Candace   To join or learn more about the Standing Firm zoom study with other coaches’ wives, text “Bible Study” to #1-833-237-0082 SUPPORT SEASON 2!

    23 | Ephesians 4: Standing Firm in Unity

    Dear Friend, In today’s episode, we are looking at standing firm in unity. We know the importance of this for teamwork, marriage, family and church, but what actually is biblical unity? The definition of unity is, “being together or at one with someone or something,” and as we will see in Ephesians 4 the goal is not just unity in and off itself, but unity around what is right and true- all for God’s glory. In addition, unity is not uniformity, because we all have different gifts given by Him for His glory and the maturity of His children (Ephesians. 4:11-13). However, we are all called to put off our old selves, and put on the new because we are new creations in Christ- to NOT be unified with our old ways of life. My prayer is that through this scripture in Ephesians we will be encouraged towards true unity and maturity, reflecting His righteousness and holiness as the body of Christ. “I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing: Salvation to our God on his Throne!” Revelation 7:9-12   Love to you all, 💕Candace   To join or learn more about the Standing Firm zoom study with other coaches’ wives, text “Bible Study” to #1-833-237-0082 SUPPORT SEASON 2!

    22 | Ephesians 3: Standing Firm in His Power (even when you're feeling weak and overwhelmed!)

    Dear Friend, In today’s episode, we are looking at Ephesians 3 and standing firm in God’s power. I love how Paul begins the chapter reflecting on his own weaknesses and salvation story! “To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ…” Ephesians 3:8 Paul lived in such humility, calling himself the least of all the saints, yet at the same time He was constantly bragging! However, his boasting was all about the power of the Lord. This is the humble confidence we have when we know who we are in Christ and walk in His power, and I’m praying for us to be strengthened in these truths today!   Love to you all, 💕Candace   To join or learn more about the Standing Firm zoom study with other coaches’ wives, text “Bible Study” to #1-833-237-0082 SUPPORT SEASON 2!

    21 | Ephesians 2: Standing Firm in His Grace (even when you're feeling the pressure to perform!)

    Dear Friend, It’s easy to say that we are saved by grace, but we still might be stuck in the cycle of performance in our everyday lives! In Ephesians 2, we see not only how the Lord brings us from death to life by His grace through faith for salvation, but that the grace continues on as we walk out the plans He has for us. God wants us to EXPERIENCE His grace in our daily lives, because we truly can’t do it on our own! As we continue through Ephesians with chapter 2, I’m praying for us all to have joy and peace in the journey as we STAND FIRM in His grace- because the pressure is off! And we get to remember what we were saved from and what we were saved for!

    20 | Ephesians 1: Standing Firm in His Blessings (even when you're not feeling blessed!)

    Dear Friend, We may not always feel "blessed" to be coaches' wives, because it's not easy and we do face many unique challenges! However, God wants us to see beyond the struggles and to not only KNOW our blessings, but to EXPERIENCE them in the midst of all the craziness and instability of the coaching lifestyle. Today we are kicking off our study STANDING FIRM, going through the book of Ephesians over the next several weeks. Ephesians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Ephesus, and I love this letter because Paul reminds me of a coach. Just like our husbands spend countless hours instructing athletes, encouraging them to have correct stances and mentalities and strengthening them along the way in every way, Paul is going to coach us through the truth of the gospel over and over again until we are standing firm and living it out by the power of God. Then he will remind us over and over again of these truths as we continue to saturate ourselves in the Word, be part of the team- the church, and work it out together until we meet Jesus face-to-face in heaven... and Jesus is the ULTIMATE COACH! This episode focuses on standing firm in the blessings we have in Christ, and as we will see in Ephesians 1, we have safety, security and so much more!   Love to you all, 💕Candace   To join or learn more about the Standing Firm zoom study with other coaches’ wives, text “Bible Study” to #1-833-237-0082   SUPPORT SEASON 2!
