Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m talking to Jennifer Smith, founder and writer of Unveiled Wife. Jennifer began blogging in 2011 with the intention of sharing with other wives, not only the struggles she had in her marriage, but also the healing she and her husband Aaron encountered. Before they were married they asked God to use them–for Him–in an incredible way, and it seems that God is doing just that!
Today Jen’s blog has grown into a worldwide ministry to wives, and is having a greater impact than they ever imagined would have been possible. She’s the author of a 30-day marriage devotional, entitled Wife after God, and will be releasing her first traditionally published book with Tyndale in the spring of 2015. Jennifer lives with her husband, and their son Elliott, in central Oregon. And I am more than thrilled to invite you to share in our conversation today!
Jennifer holds nothing back, and shares her story with beautiful transparency and vulnerability, and I’m so excited you’re here to join us.
In this episode we discuss:
- The struggles through her first few years of her marriage, including the physical pain and intimacy challenges she faced
- The wonderful way God uses others in our lives to help us heal
- The power of receiving God’s grace, and then extending that same grace to our spouses
- And the way our connectedness with God can lead to an increase in the intimacy of our marriages
