0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary
0:07.2	spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and
0:13.4	Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up. All right, brothers, back to thursday of this week's daily blade
0:26.1	we've been talking about what we were meant to cultivate like how do we use how do we bring
0:31.4	our unique strength to bear on the world in ways that fill our soul and let us step into all that God created us
0:42.6	to be about. So far, we've talked about cultivating a sense of self. We've talked about
0:48.0	cultivating a brotherhood, like we need those brothers. And then now, today I want to talk about

1:45.8	you, and would be a great partner in gospel work all the days of your life. But seek this out.
1:53.0	A good wife, according to Proverbs 31, is more precious than jewels, bro. It is a gift from God on high. You will find favor. If you're listening to this
2:04.0	and you already have a wife, then Ephesians 5 gives us the work of cultivation. This starts in
2:09.2	verse 25. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for her
2:17.4	to make her holy, cleansing her with the washing loved the church, and gave himself up for her to make her holy,
2:19.3	cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word.
2:23.2	He did this to present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or
