Have you ever walked away from a conversation with your husband thinking, Why did I say it like that? Or felt that tension in the air when your tone didn’t match your heart? If you long for deeper connection, softer communication, and a marriage marked by emotional safety — but stress, old habits, and unspoken expectations keep getting in the way — this episode is for you.

In today’s Spirit Filled Girl Talk conversation, we’re continuing our Purposeful Wife series inspired by the 28-Day Purposeful Wife Challenge, and we’re getting into the heart-level details that can transform the atmosphere of your home: the power of your words, the posture of respect, the role of affection, and the emotional warmth you carry.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about discipleship in marriage — letting the Holy Spirit shape your heart, your tone, and your responses so your marriage reflects Jesus with tenderness, truth, and peace.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why tone matters more than you realize — and how it impacts emotional connection

• The biblical truth that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)

• How criticism slowly erodes intimacy — and how gratitude rebuilds closeness

• Why gentleness is not weakness, but strength, wisdom, and self-control

• How a gentle and quiet spirit is precious to God (1 Peter 3:3–4)

• The role of affection and physical warmth in building unity (Song of Solomon 1:2)

• Why encouragement is the soil where growth takes root — spiritually and emotionally

• How to stop “vent culture” and start praying Scripture over your husband instead

If you’ve been feeling convicted, tender, or simply hungry for a healthier rhythm in your marriage, let this be your reminder: small Spirit-led shifts carry profound power. Your words matter. Your tenderness matters. And God is not inviting you into striving — He’s inviting you into deeper love, deeper peace, and deeper surrender.

This Isn't Small Talk.

Marriage can ask more of our hearts than we ever expected. And if you’re a Christian woman who feels exhausted from carrying what God never asked you to hold — trying to fix, manage, control, or shape your husband — this episode will meet you right where you are.

In today’s Spirit Filled Girl Talk conversation, we’re kicking off a special marriage-focused series inspired by the 28-Day Purposeful Wife Challenge. This isn’t about striving to be a “better wife” or checking spiritual boxes. It’s about discipleship in marriage — letting the Holy Spirit reshape your heart posture so you can live anchored, peaceful, and secure in Christ no matter what season your marriage is in.

We talk about why control is often an illusion rooted in fear, how it quietly steals peace and connection, and what it looks like to choose surrender to God instead. You’ll hear practical, Spirit-led ways to release over-management, replace reactivity with pause, and learn to trust God fully with outcomes you were never meant to carry.

In this episode, we cover:

• How surrender brings peace in Christ where striving never could
• Why fear often disguises itself as “responsibility” in marriage
• Practical ways to release control and stop over-managing your home or husband
• A biblical view of submission as strength, alignment, and trust in action
• How to “stand down” and let God lead — while still walking in wisdom and discernment
• Why unforgiveness and replaying past offenses can keep a marriage stuck
• How to move from manipulation or pressure into honest, Christ-centered communication
• Why patience is often less about waiting on your husband and more about waiting on God’s timing

If you’ve been longing for a marriage marked by peace, unity, and spiritual growth — this episode is an invitation to breathe again. Becoming a purposeful wife isn’t about doing more. It’s about loosening your grip, returning to Jesus, and taking one surrendered step at a time in faith over fear.

This Isn't Small Talk.

Your Body Is His Temple Series: Holistic Health from a Biblical Perspective (Body, Soul, & Spirit)

Have you ever wondered how your physical health connects to your spiritual life — or felt conflicted about caring for your body even though you love Jesus and want to honor Him? If you’re a Christian woman who feels tired, overwhelmed, or unsure how faith and health fit together, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, we’re introducing a brand-new monthly teaching series called Your Body Is His Temple — a Christ-centered exploration of holistic health through a biblical lens. This first episode focuses on the body, and what it truly means that your physical body is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit — not as a metaphor, but as a spiritual reality that transforms how you live, rest, eat, move, and heal.

Together, we unpack what Scripture teaches about stewardship, worship, and discipleship as it relates to your physical body. We talk about why caring for your health is not about striving, perfection, or control — but about surrender to God, obedience, and honoring what He has entrusted to you. When you begin to see your body through biblical truth instead of culture or the wellness industry, everything shifts.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What the Bible really means when it says your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit

• Why stewarding your health is an act of worship, not works

• How Christ-centered living includes how you care for your physical body

• The role of rest, nourishment, movement, boundaries, and discernment

• Why symptoms are communication, not inconvenience

• How to honor your body without making health an idol

• The difference between stewardship and striving in your healing journey

This conversation is an invitation to move from burnout to peace, from confusion to clarity, and from performance to Christ-centered living. It’s about learning to trust God with your body, walk in faith over fear, and grow in spiritual maturity through small, faithful, daily choices.

If you’ve been longing for alignment — body, soul, and spirit — this episode will help you reconnect your health to your identity in Christ, your God-given purpose, and your walk of discipleship.
