The Transformed Wife

Written By Owen Strachan Housework isn’t “below” a woman or “demeaning” to her. Housework doesn’t “squander her gifts.” We often hear such language today, even from professing evangelicals who say they believe texts like Proverbs 31 and 1 Timothy 5. But sadly, a good number of professing Christians are frankly embarrassed by the Bible. Instead of flatly affirming biblical truth, they’ll subject it to death by caveat, telling you 19 things they don’t mean about biblical womanhood before they say…

Written By Lindsay Harold When the topic of women staying home is brought up, the most common argument against it is that women today have to work in order to pay the bills. That’s often true or at least they believe it is. Yet many of those bills exist because they are working outside the home. For example, if the wife stays home, they don’t need daycare, a second car, her work clothes, gas money for her commute, eating out…

Jill Filipovic, who has 162,000 followers on Twitter, tweeted this recently: “More mothers at home makes for worse, more sexist men who see women as mommies and helpmeets. Men with stay-at-home wives are more sexist than men with working wives; they don’t assess women’s workplace contributions fairly; and they are less likely to hire and promote women. Stay-at-home mothers are psychologically and emotionally worse off than working mothers by just about every measure, from depression to anxiety to anger; they…

Many are worried about the future these days. We have a wicked tyrant as our president with an evil agenda to destroy America. It can all seem so frightening and overwhelming, can’t it? Michael Pearl wrote four great articles years ago on How to Survive the Coming Apocalypse. “Now, it seems like I have gotten away from my subject of preparing for hard times, but I haven’t. I just want to testify that the dark curtain coming down over our…

A woman wrote this on Twitter recently: “Women who are ‘against feminism’ – hand over your car, bank account, credit cards, retirement fund to your closest male relative. Don’t vote. Quit your job/close your business, delete social media accounts. No more Etsy shop or MLM. No? Then support the women’s rights movement.” Maggie Price responded to her this way: “I don’t understand this woman’s post at all. I don’t have any need for any sort of side business, because my…

Recently, I shared this tweet: “Many think it’s only the privileged who get to stay home to raise their own children. No, it’s those who sacrifice and live simply and frugally within their husbands’ income who do this and because they know it’s what is best for their children. They trust God’s ways. He provides.” Tina K. responded to this tweet on my Facebook page this way: I have stayed at home since our oldest was born. I grew up…

Betty Friedan is the feminist who convinced women in the 1950s that being married, raising children, and being homemakers was boring and depressing. The problem is that the homemakers of the 50s grabbed ahold of her teaching hook, line, and sinker. They agreed with her! Homemaking was too easy for them. They didn’t feel productive. Dusting, vacuuming, loading the dishwasher, sending their children to public schools, and popping frozen dinners in the oven weren’t fulfilling them in any way. So…

Many women seem to be worried about being bored at home, so they stay in the workforce. I was in the workforce before going home full time. I often was bored in the workforce. It consisted of doing the same things over and over, yet I was in a place far away from my baby and my home. I would far rather be bored in my own home with my children by my side. Boredom is WAY overrated, women. It’s…

“Mama, you weren’t entrusted with this entire nation, you were entrusted with your babies and your husbands. Focus on what’s in front of you. There is great work to do within the walls of our homes. Don’t let the state of our nation distract you from that. There is nothing Satan would love more than for a generation of moms to fixate so much on what’s going on outside the walls of their homes that they neglect their greatest callings…
