What to Do When Your Husband Sins: A Biblical and Grace-Filled Response
Recently, I shared some thoughts with a dear friend who was wrestling with how to lovingly address sin in her husband’s life. I’m not talking about grievous sin or abuse—that’s a different situation that requires outside help and intervention. But in the ordinary, daily struggles we all face in marriage, what does it look like to respond in a way that honors the Lord?
From My Bookshelf to Yours
I just started reading From the Rising of the Sun, and I’m really enjoying it. It takes you on a journey that highlights the beauty of Christ-centered worship and shows how believers around the world praise the Lord in ways that are rooted in Scripture, yet shaped by their own language, culture, and daily life. It’s a sweet reminder of how big and beautiful the global church really is. The book also includes a code for free streaming access to a 12-episode video series, so you can witness these incredible moments of worship for yourself!
This Week’s Favorite
I’ve been so encouraged by the solid, gospel-centered teaching from Fortis. From their podcasts to series like Transformed, everything I’ve listened to has pointed me back to God’s Word and strengthened my walk with the Lord. I hope you’ll take some time to explore their site—it’s full of biblically rich resources for believers in every season. You can check it out here: fortisplus.org
Quote of the Week:
“To pray is to admit we need help; to fail to pray is to indicate we feel no need for help. Is there any area of life in which we need no divine help whatsoever? Of course not! Then there is no area of life we should not pray about; there is no petition too small. We can, we must, make our requests known to God.”
