268- When I Realized I Was the Problem (Submission, Leadership & God’s Grace in Marriage)

Season 5 Episode 268

---

What if the biggest thing standing in the way of God's plans for your family… is you?

In this vulnerable and heart-changing episode, I share the costly and humbling lesson I had to learn about submission—what it really means to walk in biblical order within our homes, and how I unintentionally distracted my husband from hearing God's direction.

If you’ve ever wrestled with control, pride, or the desire to “help” steer the ship… this one's for you, sis.

We talk about:

• How a good thing can still be a distraction
  
  
• Why “Happy wife, happy life” isn’t always helpful
  
  
• What God showed me when I finally got quiet
  
  
• How to release the need to lead and allow your husband to hear God clearly
  
  
• Practical ways to grow in submission (without shrinking your strength)
  
  
• And the peace that comes when we trust God’s design for our family
  
  

This episode is a real, raw invitation to check your heart, pray over your marriage, and remember that submission isn’t weakness—it’s powerful surrender.

✨ Includes a guided prayer and encouragement for every wife trying to walk in God’s will while still learning to let go.
