When I finally came home I was able to home school my kids and we never felt the loss of my income. God blessed us in many ways and we were able to buy a new home during a real estate bubble bust when we had to qualify with one income for two homes. So yes God will bless you for your obedience.
There was this very brief time in the pandemic where the culture spoke of their appreciation for the homemakers because their was this acknowledge of the work involved since everyone was at home but how quickly they forget. It is a job and a hard one at that. My career is my family and I am learning to embrace that and pay no attention to what the world says.
I could cry! Thank you so much. What you say about proofing that you are busy as a homemaker to justify your decision to quit working outside the home is what I struggle with very much. My husband is saying the same like yours. He doesn’t ask for my list of things I achieved that day. But I feel I have to convince me and everyone else that my homework is valuable.
Thank you so much for talking about it!!
Isn't it wild how we fall into that! I've talked to several of my homemaker friends who have also struggled with the same thing, and it is so sad, but hopefully we are setting an example for the next generation that they will see the value of a woman keeping her home!
I agree with everything except one. Our worth is not wrapped up in our occupation or anything that we do; our worth is found in Christ.
Your family will be blessed, family is the currency of wealth. It’s beautiful that you both value the traditional way and don’t fall victim to the government’s agenda.
I've been praying to be a homemaker for 18 years. Trying to remember the Lord's timing is perfect.
Marriage is about sacrifice. In both cases, husband and wife, your life is not your own and you give and sacrifice to the benefit of your spouse. Wonderful video. You guys rock!
Amen
I started listening to this as a joke initially, but you are both actually making a ton of sense here.
I’m self employed (and a single mom) and rediscovering the home economy kind of changed my life.
The ability to be able to be a feminine woman working from home is a game changer for the health of ourselves and our kids for sure! I would not have been able to keep up the same schedule if I had to go into the office and not see my daughter. Still in a crazy expensive area and haven’t started accepting dates with other men yet (wanted to fully heal and support my daughter), but I can only imagine what success I could have with a strong man to guide me.
Thank you so much for leaving this comment and sharing your story. I'm so thankful you have been able to work from home, it really does make a huge difference. And I pray that when the timing is right you find a Godly man who leads your household well! God bless you.
Watching your video tonight was the last bit of encouragement from the Lord that I needed. I've been contemplating keeping house for months now, praying and thinking and budgeting and discussing with my husband. Tonight, after watching your video, I finally decided to do it.
I'm 26, with no children yet, and I'll be leaving a career I love. I'm elated that I can support my husband at home full time instead of feeling torn away by work and being so stressed most of the year.
What was holding me back most recently was feelings of false guilt. I thought, "But am I not lazy if I don't go to work and make money? Can't I just clean and cook on the side, like I have been?" When you stated confidently what God's Word says -- that God made the married woman's identity to be "husband-helper" -- I finally understood that being home was truly valuable. Keeping the home is a way to serve my husband, and that is what matters to God. Thank you for preparing this video and clearly seeking to respect God in what you shared.
As a homemaker myself, I relate so much to the felt need of staying busy in order to "gain" others' approval!! Each day when my husband comes home, I lay out all of the things I have done. There is a feeling of shame in staying home (especially when my husband and I have not yet been blessed with any children to care for), when the culture glorifies and pushes the idea of women working out in the world, competing with men in the workforce. I look at those around me- even in my own church and family- and wonder, "What are they thinking about me? Do they think I'm lazy? They probably think my poor husband does all the work, while I just hang out at home!" Since when have Christians ever listened to the culture to get their ideas of what makes a worthy woman?! I do work during the school year as a co-teacher at our church's private school, but it's only a few hours a day and is essentially like homeschooling. My commitment and passion is to my home. My husband put me in charge of our garden, and I find that to be SUCH rewarding and fun work! Growing, then harvesting and processing the foods that I have tended myself is so much more satisfying than working a job for someone else. I used to be a public school teacher (never again!!), but I believe that I was not made to be a "career woman". The guilt that I should be "doing something" is often a struggle.
A couple of quick thoughts that were really meaningful to me on this topic:
1) When Adam and Eve were punished, his consequence was to work by the sweat of his brow to provide for his family. Hers was to bear pain in childbirth and submit to her husband's rule. Our culture has turned it around so that the woman either bears BOTH punishments, or at least neglects her own and suffers with the man.
2) Titus 2:5 says that young women are to be keepers AT home. We always talk about keeping the home, but the KJV actually says "keepers AT home". That means that instead of working outside of the home, leading in top positions ("tear down the patriarchy" and all that nonsense), and providing the way men should, we need to be caring for our homes and supporting our men. And that's not even counting the fundamental need to raise our own children (if we have them)! If we don't raise our kids, who will?!
Of course, there are always exceptions, and I think it is important for women to be in some vocations (female doctors/midwives, teachers, etc.). But this is the general, biblical rule that we should aspire to. :)
I love to listen to videos by couples who share my beliefs and experiences about this topic. It is important for us to support each other in biblical womanhood and gender roles, because it is very easy to find people who will simply tear us down.
Great word! Thank you for sharing your testimony with this. God bless you guys and praying He gives you the desires of your heart with children!
my husband has a saying that he learned in sobriety: "It is none of my business what others think of me." The detractors will quickly fall by the wayside if you don't give them any power
I'm happy that you both found your purpose, and I think it's really meaningful that you both CHOSE that purpose. Choice & consent is the most important thing, above any ideology, or any lifestyle, what's important is having the choice.
I earn more than my husband when I work. But to help him pursue his career and build his skills, I stepped into the homemaker role so he could work full time and I take care of and homeschool our son. Now when I work it’s to be a helper, so he can have a day with our son.
It is such a blessing to be a homemaker! I’m 36 and I have miscarried before and I’m in a high risk geriatric pregnancy and it’s so nice to be able to rest and to not have a boss who doesn’t care about my health.
This has always been my mindset too ❤️ Even as a single mother, I have been able to stay home with my children, while helping my parents. I’m the one who cooks all the meals and helps my mom with the housework. Being a homemaker is the most blessed career!
Amen Paulina! What a beautiful testimony!!!
I wouldn't like to be disrespectful, but I wonder why a godly woman like you doesn't have a man to provide for you and your children?
Good for you. I think that regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in, we should do the best that we can and be grateful. You are a good mother and daughter. God bless you.
Same. I’m so grateful we have this option! To the guy wondering why we may or may not have men, some of us stopped dating to focus on our homes and kids. I feel that when it’s time, a man will find me.
Being a single mom is very hard. It’s technically possible, but not great for ourselves and kids. Dating is time consuming and single moms typically don’t have the free time.
My extended family's thinking is very worldly, and it's been challenging for me to leave wordly thinking behind. Thank you for the eloquence and clarity in this command of the Lord. I wish I had a better understanding going into marriage (we celebrated 16 years of marriage this summer), but I'm thankful the Lord kept us together and we now are working together to follow His ways and not our own.
Great video. I used to buy into a bit more of a liberal mindset, not as extreme as the liberal mindset these days but a bit. Got the degree, got the career, went for it. But now I am married with a child - I work part time (2 days a week, entirely my choice to do so) however my main work is at home - for my husband and my son. Supporting my husband and his business. Raising my child and being there for him and loving him. I will never regret giving myself to my husband and my child. I have thanked my husband for the opportunity to stay at home with my boy - as that is time you will never get back and it does impact the child if the parents aren’t around or the kid is just put in daycare all the time. It is precious, precious time and I support my husband as best I can. He doesn’t need to cook and clean and can concentrate on business and providing for us. It’s team work, you work as a team with different roles. People these days see it as exceptionally old fashioned but it is a far more satisfying and fulfilling existence and I know as I’ve done both. Praise God for you as a beautiful, inspiring couple and for your content. Thank you 😊
I wish the entire world would know and acknowledge that this is what a husband and wife role relationship should look like . I wish people wouldn’t look down on the homemaker. They are the heart . … they work all day too just like their loving husband ! Just because homemakers don’t get a CHQ each month it doesn’t mean they are worthless. Society should realize that and respect it . I loved the video and thank you for sharing it !
Proverbs 31 states the woman saw a land, considered it and bought it. She was a savvy businesswoman too, even though her heart was in the home and for her family first and foremost.
I needed this. Thank you for your openness and helping me to see things from a biblical perspective rather than a cultrual one.
Hi, and so glad it was helpful, God bless you!
Amen! Sub-mission=under your husband's mission. Supporting him to accomplish what God has ordain him to do.
Amen Kevin!!
What both of you are called to do. It is t just about the man.
Thank you for this. I'm learning so much.
I'm so glad! God bless you!
Wow, so good! I know this in my heart- but hearing you talk about it brings life.
Best video ever. I showed it to my husband. It’s rare that somebody speaks so candidly.
I just found out about homemaking being a ministry. I wasn't raised in this way by my step grandmother and mom. They emphasized the importance of working and being a modern woman. My grandmother and mom came from Italy and were just so happy for the opportunity to work. My grandmother was a widow and had to work. My mom had to work because my dad didn't make much. I would love the opportunity to homemake as a ministry. I work as a sub teacher, but since I found out that homemaking is a ministry I really wish I could be home. I want to invest in my family the way that a devout Christian women would. I found out about this because I couldn't get a permanent teaching job and have been on so many interviews. One day I just told my husband that I must be a homemaker and just wanted to see what it was about. I noticed that when I was home I made an impact in my families life, but still unsure why I was not getting a full time job. I looked up homemaking and could't believe that I found out that homemaking is a ministry. I'm still so surprised and love learning about it. I just wish I had enough money to stay home though. I have been home more than usual lately. I still work half time though. Praying that financially this would be possible.
Good work, this is a basic truth and core part of Christianity that has been abandoned even by most of today's supposed church. It's good to see couples speaking truth and believing in the faith once delivered to the saints and rejecting the lies and evil of the state religion.
Thank you so much for the encouragement Ashlee!
Hello from France ! This message is amazing god bless you thank you it’s a confirmation for what’s God told me this morning in my time of prayer and worship and I began to feel a shame but with your testimony this is a real grace to help you husband and to bring peace in the house 😍 love you guys thanks you !
I struggle with this everyday. So thank y’all so much!!!!
Good discussions.
Each situation is different. We have to go by the individual situation. There are seasons of life. Sickness, loss of income, economy, kids, no kids… if the husband is a doctor who works long hours, the wife might not want to be stuck in the home. It might behoove her to get a job and have interaction with others. The hours by herself could be long and lonely. That is only one scenario. A wife needs time away from her kids to feel healthy mentally. That might mean putting them into Christian daycare for a few hours a week. This is what I did. There is nothing wrong with that and it allows the mom to come back to the table refreshed. If the children go to school 8 hours the wife might benefit from a part time job and still have time to take care of the home. I don’t think the Bible means that a woman has to be tethered to her home 24/7. It just means that she is the overseer of her home and the heart. Do what is right for your family situation.
I do have to disagree with one thing. Your worth is not found in your husband. Your worth is found in God. Blessings.
Amen! I absolutely love this and completely agree. So much of what you said resonated with me. I made a similar video a few weeks ago called “Every Homemaker Needs to Watch This” and shared similar sentiments. This truly is the most liberating career in my opinion, and I don’t take it lightly. So glad I found your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your videos 🥰 . May God continue to bless and keep your family.
great video keep preaching the truth ! you've got so much wisdom to share !!
Thank you for this video! I recently dropped out of college because the liberal mindset that women are somehow less than men and we need to prove that we are better than them is just disgusting to me. My classes openly trash both men and women and then mock God. I went to a very conservative campus as well, so that is why it was so shocking to me. I have known that I wanted to me a homemaker for some time now, but was scared of other people's perception of me, even though I know that it is a full time job. It is estimated that being a stay-at-home mom, homemaker, etc. is equivalent to working 3 full time jobs! It never ends, so I'm not sure how that should be frowned upon. May God bless y'all in your journey with Him :)
Ah Praise God, so excited for you Saysha! God bless you and your journey ahead!!
hello! i know this might be super random but are you a born again believer in Jesus? because i know some amazing men searching for the wife God has for them so don’t hesitate to reply if you’re interested 💕 God bless you!
It is far more work to be a homemaker and wife and mum. It is far more satisfying and makes you far happier as well. Well done for standing up for your morals and wishes and going for it and ignore the naysayers, for there are plenty in life. I pray that you get the life you wish for x
Yes! Similar college experience (though a very liberal campus!). I hope you are able to fulfill this calling with joy and peace, knowing that God's plan for us is the best! Joshua 1:9
Yes I agree with this wholeheartedly
Thank you for this, I needed to hear this ❤
Praise God and God bless you!!
Thank you for this encouraging content! I am a young woman looking to go to work as I am graduating soon. However, my long-term goal and prayer is to become a homemaker. Unfortunately I am still waiting for a spouse but meanwhile using all that I have for the Lord.

wish you luck to being a great homemaker in the future and helping your husband in every way and take care of his children, he would be so glad and fortunate to have you as a wife
The Bible doesn’t necessarily condemn women working outside of the home. The Proverbs 31 woman worked outside the home. She did have her home and family as priority, but she still worked outside the home even when she was married.
There are also many jobs where a woman can work for herself and run her own business. My job is one of them.
I am trying to learn what I’ll need to be a helpmate to a future husband, but in the meantime, I need to be saving money and being able to live.
Hi Abby! We have no problem with what you have outlined, we talk about them in some of our other videos! God bless you sister!
As a single parent after leaving a relationship due to abuse and having no choice but to be the sole provider for myself and my children, I see the value in traditional roles and how God naturally designed us to fulfill these but when we go against it, intentionally or not, your home is not blessed.
If I had a man around that was the provider, I would happily stay home and make sure the home was a sanctuary and it was clean, all meals were cooked, kids were taken care of
All the struggles I experienced pointed to a husband and housewife home structure as a solution. It is literally God ordained. At most if I were in the position I would have a small business on the side but as a woman, I’m supposed to be the homemaker, take care of the kids, and the nurturer and the man is the provider and protector. The roles have been perverted it hurts.
I’ll share this video with my future husband, I’m aspiring to be a home maker too 💖
But it's not always about earning money some woman do their jobs out of passion because they like that..
I made sure I had an education and a great work ethic so that I wouldn't ever "need a man" incase marriage didn't happen for me. I didn't want to miss out on what God had for me and my mission in the world if I did end up being single. That being said, I always wanted be a wife and mother. I've been married for five and half years now and been in the home since the birth of my first child four and a half years ago. I have loved serving my family, being refined by God, being a mother (the third baby is on its way) and keeping my home. I see there being no more important calling than serving my family and raising my children to love the Lord.
Miss out on what God had for you if you didn't have a husband? That makes no sense and isn't a thing.
@@tdb19872 That's not what I meant. I knew I wanted to be a wife and mother and felt that calling. But incase marriage didn't happen, or happened late in life, I wanted to be ready for whatever else God would have been calling me to.
(Please see the end for my question as well because I know this is long sorryy)
New subscriber!! and Thank God I’ve found this video! I’m grateful for you both and hope you continue to keep making these videos because as a former feminist, girl boss, women are better than men, i don’t need a man type of girl(embarrassing i know😖), i’ve always been stressed and depressed by doing hustle related activities. And come to find out I actually do enjoy learning and studying just not the way the feminist culture tries to portray it as a need to be a more accomplished person compared to men. Im 18, so basically in that threshold between already graduating highschool and "may soon about to start college" and for sooo long I’ve wondered why does everyone know what they want to do in life whereas I’m hopping between doctor, nurse, lawyer, engineer, business entrepreneur, graphic designer, architect and so many more! But I’m really starting to wake up and realize that I don’t want to do any of those things. I LOVE volunteering at church and helping other people, I LOVE art and to draw and paint, I LOVE helping my brother with any advice he comes to me with(like seriously it’s like i’m his mentor😂), I absolutely LOVE sharing with my family any new found knowledge and revelation I’ve learned from God’s holy word, and I absolutely LOVEEE the idea of one day becoming a wife and taking care of the home - homeschooling and raising my kids with love and gentleness(instead of having a nanny/babysitter do it), doing the chores,etc… and just overall being the nurturer of the home and making sure my kids and husband are taken care of and supported emotionally and physically. For so long I believed the lie that even my parents told me, that I have to stress myself out so that I can achieve the highest paid career and make a lot of money when in truth i’m not even a materialistic person and I don’t see the need to have the most fanciest, expensive house, car, clothes etc. We’ve lost a lot of traditional values and roles that God ordained us to do and it has had a detrimental effect on our society today!
It’s sad though because I don’t know how to make that shift from living at home with my mom straight to becoming a house wife especially when I know my mom won’t support it. It’s looking like the only route for me would be to have to go to school to gain some physical and financial independence which is what I really don’t want, idk tho. Any advice would be extremely appreciated!!
Hi! I’m so sorry. We are just seeing your comment. We’d love to hear where you are now, if you’d like to email at homewithkelli.co@gmail.com and we can chat further about this!
@@ScottandKelli No worries on the late response, I’m still glad you responded! I’ll be contacting you shortly! It’s funny looking back on this comment when I was so uncertain about everything and venting😂. Almost a year later and I now am certain of this life I want to choose, but still uncertain on how to get there so I definitely will be looking forward to your advice!
Thank you for making this video! I don’t have any Christian friends or family (besides my husband,) so I honestly feel like an outcast. I enjoy cleaning, cooking, organizing, all of the valuable contributions I do for my household. When I devoted myself to homemaking full-time, I felt an extreme amount of peace and purpose. “You can be replaced at your job but never at home.” My future children will be grateful too. :)
Phenomenal video! Instant subscribe!
woah this is so good but how many people are looking up being a homemaker besides those who are already pretty sold on it. Not that this isn't worth making, but my thought is more, how can we get this out to people who haven't any idea of why be at home when I can make money (like you said around 8 minutes)? This is what's needed, for high school girls, college girls, and singles looking for a man before they even get married to start out with this mindset.
I love this
God bless you guys 🙏, this was so helpfull for me. I’m a homemaker to
Praise God, so thankful! And God bless you!
Good message
Scott, you have a hella of wife. God has blessed you with a diamond in a coal mine. She knows her role and purpose God has for wives really well. It's encouraging to learn that there's still women like her out in the world. I look forward to finding myself one like her -someday. Thanks for all your videos. I believe it's closing the breach within many families today. Women need to return to God's purpose for them. *exception: women born without sex-drive or gift of marriage (eunuchs). God has a special place for them.*
Powerful, Praise Yah for taking time and his timing to use both your voices and be a witness to his truth. I'm so blessed and encouraged
Love this, well explained.
Praise God, and God bless you!
I think in this world we have confused the word help meet and doormat. The world feels if a woman is at home and tending to what god has called her to do she is a door mat! That is not of god! If you look at most women who are out in the world are not happy! And the reason for that is they are not in the will of God! A praying wife is a great gift for her husband!
People in this world care too much about justifying themselves and Christianity to an evil world. We even adopt their subversive language and fall all over ourselves to show how we're not doormats or whatever the silly feminist word of the day is.
Just because I chose to be accepting the gift of God and following his commandments does not mean that I let people take advantage of me or walk over me. Makes me even more of a strong woman to not let what other people say affect my choices of standing firm in what I believed in and following my heart and dreams. Either the man or a woman are below each other, but in a traditional relationship, the way things are supposed to be, a woman supports the man... That's the way it was meant to be and it's not a bad thing! AMEN.
Do you feel all married women should leave the work force? This seems nearly impossible, as there are jobs which are heavily female dominated- like teachers of young children and nurses/caregivers. Women flourish in these positions due their nature to nurture. It would seem sad for those women to stay home and be replaced by men who would likely not be as in the role.
There are the single women and the women of empty nests that may be able to chip on as well...
my ex helped me guided me supported me to be more independent
What happen if you get divorce, life happens. I think its good to save your own money.
And what happens if she doesn't get divorced? What happens if it works out?
@@doll.ov.poetrii4682 good for them, but people change and life goals change over the years. If you're solely depending on one person for income, and good forbid, that person passed away. Your life will be harder and add morr strrss looking for a job, but if you have a job thats one less stress yoi dont have to worry.
@@shortmashins4031 Being a homemaker allows you to build income with your spouse that will sustain your spouse even when you they are dead.
Have you not seen how favored women are in divorces? A judge will likely grant alimony. And no one would be stopping her from working. You can spend decades as a homemaker and still get a job in the future.
Yall act like society doesn't benefit women in every way imaginable.
God will protect those who put their trust in Him. She trusts God by obeying him and fulfilling her purpose as a Godly help to her husband. He will favor her and bless the marriage and if by any reason there is a divorce the Lord will be her provider.
Being a career woman is not bad but neglecting your home responsibilities and neglection of taking care of kids irrespective of gender is bad..
Hey guys, what do you do when both of you work to make ends meet and does the man do chores?
Hi! You are working as a team towards the same goals, ie getting out of debt, having a peaceful home, so do whatever you need to do to get that done. Sometimes that could be moving to an area where it is possible to make ends meet financially.
Scott helps me with chores when he can and he's happy to, just as I sometimes sell my art to bring in extra income... we help each other, its just that Scott's main responsibility is provider and my main responsibility is household manager.
@@ScottandKelliThank you!
I like "work with" rather than "work for". Husband and wife are partners.
I dont mind what you're saying at all but if I'm 35 years old and can't meet a man that I trust and love in that way then I have no choice but to just work.
lol, that's who recommended their videos in one of his emails
So good guys !!
Thank you Wendell! Hope you guys are well!!
Wow 💖
I'm so thankful my husband and I have a partnership. A beautiful life together for 21 years and 2 amazing children (18 and 14). With ups and downs and everything in between.
I know you mean well,, and this will ruffle some Christian feathers, but this teaching is so toxic and oppressive. 😢 We actually attempted to follow it for several years bc that's what we're taught as Christians makes for a healthy marriage. That's great if both the wife and husband fit that mold, but it's so unrealistic to expect that every wife and husband will. We sure don't.
So many families we've known through the years that followed this ideal are miserable, divorced, addicted and abusive behind closed doors....but continue to believe they are obligated to live some model they are taught is necessary because "the Bible says so", according to mainstream interpretation.
Just stop.
Are there some marriages that are healthy and beautiful that do live this way? Of course. But there are more that are miserable. And if you are honest with yourself,, you know that's true.. And we know more couples that are happier and healthier that do their own thing....what works for them.
And no we are not liberals lol 😆
This whole mentality that you must be liberal if you don't adhere to this fundamentalist theology is silly and dangerous. Just more "us against them" mindset that leads to rigid attitudes about how we believe things should be. Its fear based and we all know what scripture says about fear.. The Bible has been interpreted and translated and tweeked to fit man's interpretation and man-made theology , and it's been taken further than it was ever meant to be taken. You guys are young and I know you believe everything you're saying. Just try to practice some of that humility Christians are meant to have and realize that just bc you are at this point in your journey, living your experience through your filter of what you've been taught and the system that's working for you doesn't make it the be all end all of life's journey for everyone.
If this system was so fool proof, Christians would have a significant positive impact on the world and we all know the Church is not doing very well here, no matter what yall are preaching.
BTW, we homeschool and I'm a homemaker. But my husband, who is a church going Christian and the best man I've ever met, would never see me as a "help meet " that has to fill some role. And quite frankly, neither does Jesus/Yeshua.😉🙏🏻
Where does your authority and faith come from if you believe the Bible is tweaked and mistranlated? What of the KJV? If you don't believe the Bible in its totality, then there's a problem... God honours His Word more than His Names. If the infallibility of God's word is called to question in your heart then its a deeper question that needs to be asked. Is not all scripture given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit? If we start picking and choosing what we think is tweaked or mistranslated, where do we draw the line? In my humble opinion, if the Bible says it, I beleive it. I don't know any other way. God bless. 💕
There are probably a lot more 'reasons' why such marriages are miserable & it has little to do with the man work/woman stay home structure. AND why read the Bible at all, if you believe that the current 'translations' make some of it invalid (in your opinion) .... sounds more like a 'trouble submitting to God' problem, than a 'submitting to husband problem'. My parents' marriage would fall into one of these categories of miserable married people that you speak of. My dad worked, my mother stayed home - because she felt obligated to (not because my dad said to) and they were miserable. WHY? Because they were trying to fit into a Christian model without believing anything connected to Christianity other than going to church 1x a week. My mother REFUSES to submit to ANYONE about ANYTHING & 100% fits the 'vexatious wife' role. So they are miserable. But it is NOT because my mother stayed home. Once her kids were out of the house, she went to work. and guess what? She was also miserable there... & contentious, vexatious, & quarrelsome. They are not living in accordance with other scriptural mandates, so therefore no matter how they structure their 'home life' they are bound to be miserable. AND I would argue that Christianity HAS had a huge impact on society. Most western societies that are flourishing are due to Judeo- Christian ideals being worked into the laws/gov't/charities/etc...And it is pretty hard to judge whether a 'system' is having a significant impac,t when large portions of CHRISTIANS will not even follow God's word. Who can tell?
Was the command to fill the earth and have dominion over it not given to both men and women? In Genesis 1, it says “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.’”
Once again a great video, I pray it blesses someone and gives them hope. Yes this world is crazy but you have a great purpose that God has given you and we need to return to his design as Man and Woman..Shalom
Amen Amen, thanks so much Kate! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
This video would trigger lot of feminists...
Who cares; certainly not the word of God?
Our worth is found in God actually, and there’s women in the Bible with jobs but other than that great video
Amen
This blessed me beyond words!!! Thank you so much for posting this timely message. Blessings to your family.
Ah praise God! So thankful it blessed you! God bless you as well!
Awesome! Keep up the mission to share Gods design!!
Thank you Bre!! God bless sister!
I wish there were videos talking about these values without mentioning The Bible, because not everyone Who follows the conservative family structure is Christian. It just instantly turns us away.
My man is Catholic and I'm a witch, And we believe deeply and gender roles. We don't do it because The Bible said so, we do it because we value the traditional family unit.
Hi, thanks for watching our video! I watch a lot of videos about things I'm interested in and hold space for peoples different beliefs, if they have good stuff to say. You're going to have a hard time finding value from people if they have to 100% align with all your beliefs every time.
Then don't watch it? I mean this is their faith, their soul mission is to share the gospel and what they follow and set out to do to inspire others to live out those principles. They shouldn't have to cater to a secular/pagan/new age movement audience if that's not their target audience. If you want to find that kind of content and can't find it elsewhere, create your own channel in your niche. So many people tell Christians to shut God up and out of their mouths. God is their driving force, the foundation that built this image of roles in their home. Have some respect for their religion if you are going to watch them.
This blessed me. Thank you both for sharing.
Thank you and God bless you!!
I am not religious but this explain welled people get it confused.
Yay 5,000 year old gender roles!
More like 300,000 year old gender roles. This has what brought our species to success and wealth. The sexes evolved this way for a reason, because this works. The chaos and confusion we’re seeing in society today are a direct consequence of the rejection of traditional roles and values.
Being a housewife is joyful thing it is true working women especialy working women with children are less feminine more complicated mentality children suffer a lot with working mothers these ladies show no interest to cook either buy resturant food or if very rich keep maids for cooking no time for children they think more like transgender saw lot of sad children with working mothers just my opinion view
thank you thank you 🙏 so important and eye opening. We are all poisoned and need to take this poison out of our bloodstream to become true women and men in God's image. God bless you ❤
The world doesn’t say women can be astronauts AND men should be helpmates. What are you talking about?😂
The world says women can be astronauts. That’s it
not every woman is called to be a home maker. ---when one gives their life to god you never know what He will call you to do. it might be a missionary where you live in a thacthed hut or a nurse or doctor to do surgery on children in poverty.
when God created Adam and Eve He gave them the same command...tend the garden.
yes, women can be anything God calls them to do and be. not just housewives.
Some womeh have to work outside the home.... do not put guilt on them. God doesn't. Think of all the women in 3rd world countires that live in one room shacks and there is only 1 bathroom and 1 water faucet for the whole village adn they work outside in the fields and carry baskets of produce on their heads to market many miles away. God does not make cookie cutter christians.
There’s a podcast called “It’s good to be a man” by Michael Foster and Bnonn Tenent. You two might want to connect one day...
I dunno why you all bring the bible into this, this feel like more your agenda and interpretation, doesn’t feel full authentic, keep your ideas and theories as your theories, no offence,
Halleluyah
