<p>Denise Renner joins me for a powerful conversation on identity, marriage, and the transformative power of hearing God&#39;s voice, even when you feel you&#39;ve lost yourself. We dive deep into the real-world struggles Christian wives face and how to find true freedom and purpose in Christ.</p><p><br></p><p>💡 Episode Highlights</p><p>In this episode, we explore how to break free from the trap of hiding behind your spouse and instead embrace the unique gifts God has given you. We discuss the necessity of trusting God&#39;s leading in your life and marriage, even when the path is challenging or unexpected. You’ll learn how to navigate difficult marital dynamics by speaking truth in love and relying on the Holy Spirit’s guidance, rather than falling into the &quot;nag&quot; trap.</p><p>Denise unpacks the core message of her book, &quot;Who Stole Cinderella?&quot;, and shares how a wise woman can build a beautiful, godly house by focusing on her own walk with the Lord. We also cover the critical importance of forgiveness—not as a suggestion, but as a command to pursue peace—and how one spouse can truly change the trajectory of a marriage. Finally, we share practical steps to foster a healthier, more thankful relationship by actively speaking life into your marriage and your spouse.</p><p><br></p><p>🎯 Key Talking Points</p><ul><li>Finding Your Identity in Christ: Why you must embrace your God-given callings rather than hiding in the shadow of your spouse.</li><li>How to Hear God&#39;s Voice Daily: The fruit that comes from surrendering to God’s direction, even when it’s not what you expected.</li><li>Biblical Marriage Advice for Wives: How to speak truth in love and challenge unhealthy behavior without becoming a &quot;nag.&quot;</li><li>Overcoming Christian Marriage Struggles: Taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth to build up your home.</li><li>Healing from Marriage Hurt: Why pursuing peace is a daily, active commitment to freedom through forgiveness.</li><li>Achieving Spiritual Freedom: Understanding that boundaries and being &quot;bold on the inside&quot; can be godly, wise, and necessary.</li><li>Strengthening Your Christian Marriage: How your gratitude and godly influence can empower your husband to be a better man.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>🔗 Resources Mentioned</p><ul><li>Book: <a href="https://renner.org/product/who-stole-cinderella/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Who Stole Cinderella? by Denise Renner</a></li><li>Email Series: <a href="https://www.subscribepage.io/HearGodSeries" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Start hearing God’s voice in 5 days!</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>🕊️ Hear God More Clearly<br>Start your own 30-day journey with my <em>Hearing God’s Voice Journal. </em>👉 <a href="https://a.co/d/6aea4Dg">Get it on Amazon</a></p><p><br></p><p>💌 Let’s Stay Connected<br>📧 [email protected]<br>📲 IG:  <a href="https://instagram.com/javawithjen">@javawithjen</a> | 🎧  <a href="https://www.javawithjenmerch.com/">Merch Store</a><br>☕️ <a href="https://www.patreon.com/javawithjen">Patreon</a> | 💸 Venmo @JavawithJen | 💵 CashApp $JavawithJen<br>💖 <a href="https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/7B647DMFXD5L8">Give on PayPal</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Tags</p><p>Who Stole Cinderella, Christian marriage, finding your identity in Christ, Christian marriage advice, how to hear God&#39;s voice, healing from marriage hurt, identity in Christ, Christian podcast for women, spiritual freedom, biblical marriage advice, marriage help for wives, hearing God&#39;s voice every day, Java with Jen, spiritual warfare in marriage, overcoming marriage struggles</p><p><br></p>
