    Putting Off the Old and Putting On the New (Ephesians 4:22-24)

    Ephesians 4 shows us how change happens in the Christian life: we put off the old self, renew our minds with God’s truth, and put on the new self created in Christ. In this episode we talk through that pattern and how it plays out in marriage, parenting, friendships, our time, and our words.

    Killing the Sin of Selfishness

    Selfishness is one of those quiet sins that can easily slip into our hearts and homes. It often hides behind good intentions or small excuses, but God’s Word doesn’t leave us there. In this episode, we’ll look at what the Bible says about selfishness and how the gospel frees us to love others with the heart of Christ. We’ll spend time in Philippians 2 and talk about what it means to deny ourselves daily, serve as Jesus served, and find joy in living for Him. My prayer is that this conversation helps you see the everyday moments like folding laundry, forgiving, listening, and serving as ways to love others and bring glory to the Lord.

    Do You Have a Meek and Quiet Spirit

    A gentle and quiet spirit isn’t weakness. It is strength under God’s control. It reflects trust in His sovereignty, not striving to be seen or heard. This kind of beauty doesn’t fade with age. It is lasting, Christlike, and precious in God’s sight (1 Peter 3:3–4).⁣ ⁣ If you’re struggling to cultivate this spirit in your own life, you’re not alone. Ask the Lord to grow it in you. Spend time in His Word. Look to Christ. He is gentle and lowly in heart, and He is faithful to complete the work He begins in us.⁣ Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.  Free Encouraging Your Husband PDF RESOURCES: Join Thankful Homemaker for access to the Free Library of Resources Follow ThankfulHomemaker on Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest & Instagram Patreon Support Join the Thankful Homemaker Facebook Group Subscribe to the Podcast on Your Favorite App  Online Courses & Printables Thankful Homemaker Merchandise Buy Marci a Cup of Coffee xo  ⁣

    Biblically Communicating With Our Children

    Biblical communication isn’t just about getting our children to listen or obey—it’s about shepherding their hearts. It’s discipleship. This episode is for every parent or grandparent who has ever struggled to know what to say, how to say it, or when to say it. We’re looking at what it means to communicate with grace, listen with patience, and speak the truth in love—whether with toddlers, teens, or adult children. God has given us the beautiful calling of pointing our children to Christ—and one of the most powerful tools He’s given us to do that is our words.

    Determining the Best Choices for Your Family

    We’re all navigating decisions for our families in a world that feels louder and more opinionated than ever. But your standard isn’t someone else’s story—it’s Christ.   The best choices for your home are shaped by God’s Word, by prayer, and by the unity you and your husband seek before the Lord.   This encouragement is for the young mama in the thick of it—and for the older woman who’s walked through those seasons and learned to lean on the Lord. It’s a call to seek wisdom, walk in grace, and trust that Jesus truly is enough.   Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.  Free Encouraging Your Husband PDF RESOURCES: Join Thankful Homemaker for access to the Free Library of Resources Follow ThankfulHomemaker on Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest & Instagram Patreon Support Join the Thankful Homemaker Facebook Group Subscribe to the Podcast on Your Favorite App  Online Courses & Printables Thankful Homemaker Merchandise Buy Marci a Cup of Coffee xo
