The Speaking Wife

65 episodes - English - Latest episode: 8 months ago - ★★★★★ - 3 ratings

Welcome!
The podcast name is a play on words from speaking “life”. (Aren’t I clever?)

It is my greatest hope to offer encouragement and practical content.

Sometimes we need more than a pat on the back and an “I’ll pray for you.”. (Even though these things are so valuable!)
How do we break the detrimental cycles we find ourselves in?
How do we practically apply the principles of God’s Word in the day to day moments?
Let’s learn together how to be better today than we were yesterday!
