In a world that tells women their value comes from a career and being independent, it’s time to rediscover the beautiful, God-ordained purpose and role of being a wife.
In today's video, I will share on the role of being your husband's helper. Popular culture's vision for being a wife is career-focused, 50/50 provider, consumptive stay at home wife, which is totally counter to what the Bible says per Proverbs 14:1, Titus 2, Proverbs 31, Ephesians 5.
I share the importance of knowing your husbands mission/values, so you can know what your family vision is and what you are working towards in small steps everyday.
There is also a danger in swapping out the working outside the home rat race for the “homemaker influencer” rat race, and I share on why making money should never become your primary focus at home.
And lastly a vision for building a home economy that's based on production, stewardship, and resourcefulness.

Ladies, You Weren’t Made to Function As Men
This video was recorded in June 2025, but I never shared it. I rediscovered it and in light of recent events felt it was appropriate to share today. I hope this video encourages women to reject the stress of competing in masculine roles and to find the incredible peace and purpose in embracing your God-designed function as helpers, wives, mothers, and creators of your home economy.

HOME as your Mission Field
Your home is the most strategic mission field on earth. In fact, Proverbs 14:1 says "The wisest of women builds her home" and then continues to say "a foolish woman tears it down."
I also discovered where that quote comes from that I often share "the state of the home reflects the state of the nation." It seems that it is shortened from the German Emperor Wilhelm II (1859–1941) when he said: “The foundation of national welfare is the family. If the family is healthy, then the people and the state are also healthy. The moral strength of a people rests upon the sanctity of the home.”
So in light of the injustice that has happened this week. THIS is how we respond. There must be a revival to God's ways and it all starts AT HOME.

It’s Good to be a Wife, Mom, and Home Economist
If older women obey Titus 2—teaching what is “good”— that means discipling young ladies to love husbands, love children, be self-controlled, pure, kind, submissive, and keepers at home.
We live in a popular culture that celebrates and encourages university as the only way for young ladies to pursue education. The fruit of these university systems is counter to what Titus 2 says the older ladies are to teach the younger ladies. Women getting married later and later (or maybe not at all). It becomes harder to be a keeper of the home and home with your children because many are enslaved to student loan debt. And their has been no education on the practicalities of managing the home i.e. the home economy.
What if instead we give a positive vision for young ladies to be wives, mothers, and home economists. Teaching them skills in these areas so they can thrive in the domain the God said is GOOD.
