Summary
This episode touches on the real-life weight of marriage struggles. Jesse and I have been walking through one of those seasons where everything and everyone seems to be falling apart around us.
I’m opening up about what it looks like to pray when you're running on empty. I share how God gently exposed my desire for control, reminded me of the power of prayer, and led me to shift my focus—from asking Him to change my husband to asking Him to change me.
If you're a Christian wife navigating disconnection, resentment, or frustration, this conversation is meant to encourage you, challenge you, and walk alongside you. I talk about confessing your own sin before pointing fingers, praying for your husband’s heart and leadership, and putting on the full armor of God—before you're in the thick of the battle. Whether your marriage feels distant or you're just needing a reset, I invite you to join thousands of women inside The Wife Project—a biblical course created to help you reconnect with your spouse and grow a marriage rooted in faith and intention.
