Sometimes I feel so many podcasts and channels are for married women only. It’s lonely out here as a mature, single Christian woman. Don’t forget about us because we are in the minority. Blessings to all.

[@charleneholland8656]

THIS is hitting home on so many levels!! I'm sure I didn't stumble across this message by accident. Iron sharpens iron! LORD, I THANK YOU. 🙏🏾❤️🔥

[@mattiecopes3448]

Amen yes it do be blessed

[@whenyourgone1994]

Lisa you are not old! 57 is so young, change your mindset, age is irrelevant - Gods life giving energy is boundless! 🙏

[@jenniferreese6135]

I hope I can be a wife one day only if the good lord let me

[@analisavazquez8815]

Me too

[@Suerene]

You will just pray and ask God to send you the right man to share your life with and prepare yourself to be the right wife and put God first in everything you do always 🙏 ❤

[@Suerene]

@Jennifer Reese you are welcome 😊 you can also fast and pray about it if you are really desiring a husband.God will answer He will never leave you nor forsake you 🙏

[@erikarascon1347]

I feel the same way. I believe you should carry yourself like a wife before you actually become one.

[@chimwemwevumisa2327]

If you believe it... It shall be done... I am waiting for your testimony ❤️

[@chinwesdiary9175]

I keep learning from my big sisters. Thank you sisters for your guidance. this was really needed. I pray i become someone whom others feel safe in my presence💕

[@Acts2_26]

Ladies make some good points here but I found lacking the vital counter point of support and guidance of how to properly and safely reveal abuse within the church. Over-conformity within the church has often perpetuated abuse. If you know of or are experiencing physical, sexual or financial abuse get yourself to safety first then report to proper authorities within and without the church including police or appropriate government agencies. All the love to Mama Lisa Harper from Seattle WA.

[@liglisachae7238]

I was deeply hurt by a leader who incorporated a story I shared with her in one of her sermons. What was most hurtful about it was that she told it inaccurately which was gut hurting. It took me a long while to get over that. But I learned from her never do that. No one can tell the story like the person in the story.

[@helenavaneden1684]

i'm SÓ, SÓ SÓRRY to hear how you have been hurt in this way...Lord PLÉÁSE FORGÍVE US for HÚRTING each other without realising or understanding...without knowing or without evil intention....Father forgive us for we don't know what we are doing... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@BlessTheGlobe]

T D Jakes had the same experience and he started writing books to tell his story correctly.

[@rachelm4726]

Been there but i chose to forgive. It was hard but u can too.

[@chinwesdiary9175]

Been there too. its such a heartbreaking feeling, when you open up to your pastor, and then later hear everything from everyone. It was not easy letting the hurt go, but i forgave, moved on to another church branch just for my sanity.

[@antoinette7030]

That’s terrible 😕

[@yearinsolitude]

Truthfully, this is a passage I grew to hate, because so many emphasis was placed on women and what they are supposed to do to be the "perfect wife." It bothered me. Where was the passage of the "perfect husband?" And then one day a man spoke about the Proverbs 31 man. I was like what? And then I read the passage over with new eyes. This passage is not just about what a woman is supposed to do in a marriage or who she should be generally. It's about what a man AND a woman are supposed to do in their marriage and who they are supposed to be generally. It actually starts of with instructions for the man and further advice is interwoven throughout the chapter. Needless to say, I grew to love this passage again.

[@mattiecopes3448]

I'm going to wailt on.god to get my holy huseband ❤️ when you wait on him you get the best he's God he know what you need

[@siskristie2113]

I think pre marital counseling should be done before marriage. You will learn so much and some mistakes could be avoided. My Mom always said You can not tell people your business especially in marriage. You don't go blasted your husband's business. You really hurt them with that. It's already a little hesitation for them to open up. Then when they do open up, we go blasting their business. That should not be! We are jeopardizing their ability to trust us.. Wisdom is definitely needed...

[@ItsWillieGirl.1960]

Yeah!!! Nona Jones is on the panel today. Each one of you ladies are blessed. Your love for God & your hearts for His Kingdom is truly evident. Thank you Pastors Matt & Laurie for bringing this awesome & impactful life changing program to the masses. May all of you be blessed by God in 2022 & far beyond!! #BetterTogether Love from Santa Barbara, CA!!

[@chachasantiago450]

This is a very good subject to be shared. We as Christians must remember loyalty! We must practice wisdom. We are not of this world and we must show it.

[@relaxationcalmrain9791]

I want to be a story keeper not a story Teller. Jesus Christ please help me 🙏

[@creativemindproduction8949]

Hi, you’re talking about the same experience that I had with my husband, but what a man of he is and has proven himself to be so for almost 39 years now. Love this!

[@alexandrakocis]

“Be careful what pearls you’re throwing to environments that will not treasure them.” So so good... 🤍

[@selenasss]

Me too I grew up with 4 sisters and I had to realize I had to love me to be the best me with Christ who strengthens me.

[@jfam3441]

I’m thankful that early in my marriage, I had the example of Godly women who didn’t bash their husbands. And actually discouraged that behavior. I remember vividly chatting one day with them complaining about some petty thing and one very soberly saying “At least your husband comes home every night.” It so convicted me, and I have been cautious about ever getting on that bandwagon again! We need to surround ourselves with women who will be truthful and convicting, as well as compassionate and encouraging when we need it. I’m so blessed to have that!

[@marymac1972]

This was a great conversation. I love that ultimately the motive for sharing and appropriateness for setting and those hearing was explored. Each woman collectively gave a balanced view

[@marymumbi5325]

Thanks y'all i needed this so much. Thanks Dianna for praying for us God bless y'all

[@shellonsamuels-white9905]

Being married is sooooo hard. Pray the strength of those married women who are struggling to make this thing work the way God intended even while we feel like we are drowning in the process.

[@elizabethdanner3681]

Story teller to a story keeper... this helped me.

[@speakinggracellc]

Great truth on the Proverbs 31 Woman Be a safe space with His Word

[@sandracharite4355]

I tried going to the married women in my church but they looked down on me and shunned me. It is unfortunate that due to the cliques in the church, there is a lack of sisterhood. I loved this. All I have is Jesus.

[@sheseesfortress1719]

Just read the Bible. It’s all about Justice and love.

[@kathleensmith2834]

WOW! This has really had me asking questions of myself of the kind of wife I am or the kind of friend & so on. I used to bask my last 2 husband's but my present husband I don't do it as much. What really stuck out with this most of all is how can I make my husband's day go better, how can I serve him better today to bring out his best? I will be watching this over & over that's for sure. Thank you all for sharing & being so transparent. Learned so much. Be blessed ladies! Love you all!

[@elizabethdanner3681]

Me too. Stopping the characterizations of him.

[@Bryant404]

The Love Dare is a marriage workbook that gives good advice relating to similar actions we can take to strengthen our relationships. You can do it alone or with your partner. It’s definitely worth looking into.

[@kathleensmith2834]

@@Bryant404 I actually have this book. It's an amazing book actually. Maybe it's time I need to pick it back up & finish it. Thanks. :)

[@drewmiller8825]

Here's a lot of things I loved in this: Valuable attributes to Godly and virtual people is hiding things in your heart, hearing things you'll never repeat We don't often make space for sacred things I'm not looking for loyalty, I'm looking for devotion There's a lot of things you receive through love Henry Nowin - Having the wisdom to know when to raise and lower the draw bridge to the inner most wisdom of your heart Be careful what pearls you throw into an environment to treasure them Always find ways to maximize this time together What is this person leaving with when they leave my presence? Release, iron sharpening iron, pouring into each other and taking an action item with you Walk away from it feeling better about yourself Using our grace, wisdom and talent to add to someone's life who's connected to ours Our motives we have to be sure of Don't sit isolated and shut up, find the right spaces because it's important to share Proverbs 18:22 If you find a wife, you've found a great thing

[@felicitygrace5113]

Thank you for such a great summary! 👌🏻✨️

[@abidingonthestraightandnar5330]

Blessings I am not married, but I still listened in this was a great conversation that truly needed I enjoy this ministry so much it's so calming, and no one is speaking over one another there's nothing, but love, and respect, thank you, God bless

[@deannaj91]

Ms Cunnington hit it on the head, at times we’re looking for OUR personal expectations but not to loving the person for just who they are

[@nadineneza5732]

You raised good points of reflection on this subject may God bless you all as Nona emphasize ''asking ourselves the purpose of what we bring to the table or share to others is the main reflection''

[@jamfamily1930]

This is why I left the church I was at!!

[@millicenttaylor5232]

I Loved your Analogy of about “The Heard of Gazelles”… and The Spin on Proverbs 31 in reference to All Relationships instead of Just Marriage as Marriage is usually the only Reference for Proverbs 31.

[@dawndavis9491]

Lisa Harper thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for helping us married women to honor our husband's first, children, family and friends by being story keepers. This was a powerful episode. Thank you Ladies for sharing.

[@rufarogambe1084]

Havilah is always speaking sense 🙌🙌she has so much wisdom and knowledge

[@wmwakamba]

Insightful! God bless this ministry .

[@michelledowner5148]

Trust relationship..🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.. You have to protect Trust...

[@Samrules4ever]

I was betrayed by a "friend" and she used the secrets I kept about her as weapons against me, knowing I would not do the same. Still, I decided to let it go for The Lord says "I'm in charge of vengeance and payback, just waiting for them to slip up; And the day of their doom is just around the corner, sudden and swift and sure." Deuteronomy 32:35. It isn't mine to avenge. God is a good Judge - fair and wise. Instead, I choose to remember to love my enemies. For isn't it great joy to please the Lord and to obey His Commandments?

[@Brick1978]

Ladies, here's some tips to make your husband's life better, keep yourself in good physical shape, be feminine, learn to submit to him, become a good cook, wear makeup, spend below your means and give him lots of sex!!!

[@meganblasco2]

Story keepers❤

[@wonderwomanforpresident]

Loved this discussion. I have so much to learn 🙏

Thank you timely msg. Halleluyah

[@fums123]

Amen. Thank. U somuch

[@kivamadepure756]

I low key feel like what Brittney said was trying to justify gossip, it basically feel like it’s ok to gossip to friends but as long as it stays safe and and you feel better / learn from whatever your gossiping about… I disagree

[@julietoneill1268]

Thank you ladies 👌❤👏🙏

[@maxinenicholson8037]

Amen 🙏✝️💜

[@Khanyisile3]

Thank you ladies.

[@pamboire6973]

Wow, Thank You Jesus.

[@nikm2309]

I'm Jesus name!

[@kristisamwaru7936]

Very helpful

[@nicolestanford4955]

See... I'm the one being betrayed. So how do I continue to be mylsef in the Lord and be the wife God wants me to be?

[@KiRetteCouture]

Have you sought counselling? That could be helpful. Also stay in the place of prayer. God will give you ideas which you never imagined. May He bless you and restore your marriage.

[@kingdomtestimonies]

You have to find a safe place sometimes God is revealing who our circle is. Good luck!!!

[@almarobledo2038]

It is very hard but you need to be who God made you to be no matter how other people act around you. God is watching and as long as you are the women God wants you to be he will reword you. We are not obedient because of people around us but because of what Jesus did for us. Be your best for you!! Blessings

[@toriAllisonP]

Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

[@truebelieverinthelord7823]

This’s so good!

[@terewilliams1555]

Amen. Relationships are empowered with every word we speak. As words have power, speak beauty over your partner, peace, fulfillment, divine focus on their purpose... Imagine a relationship ending because of something your partner heard that you said.... heartbreaking, indeed.

[@ministryofcharityandtestim2877]

Ameeeeeeeeeen

[@Brick1978]

Girlfriends getting together and bashing their husband is called modern day feminism ladies! Don't be deceived by it!!!

[@chichis7768]

💕💕💕

[@marie-on5yj]

I love these women. But I sometimes think they portray themselves as "all put together", tendy clothes, lots of makeup, perfect hair, and perfect fake nails. And perfect white teeth, perfect peo ple! ...LOLOL! If you're watching and don't think you measure up... please know that all Christian women don't have to look like this to go to church or be a Christian.

[@petrosurman1586]

Wow accept from Lisa the blond ladies voice is just too loud and sharp for listening comfortable. Have to skip this broad cast. Sorry Lisa 😞

[@Rededicated1]

Omgoodness. I thought I was the only one who thought that. She does seem extremely loud. Her mic needed adjustment for sure. I endured it, though, as the ladies made great points.

[@dietersachavonmansberg1626]

Help me understand a women paster ? Where is this in the Bible?

[@Cara4288]

This is old. Where is the new content?

[@BetterTogetherTV]

Yes, this episode originally aired in June 2021. You can watch our latest conversations here: bit.ly/3tFbTky 💜

[@Tebbles07]

Oldie but a goodie. God is good. He can make anything new.

[@shaunsmith6993]

We're always looking for the "new". Sometimes we are reminded of things in preparation for our "now".
