Grit + Grace Podcast

The Proverbs 31 Woman Was a Businesswoman (And We've Been Getting Her Wrong)

Is ambition really rebellion — or have Christian women just been told that long enough to believe it?In this episode of Grit and Grace, we're taking an honest, unfiltered look at Proverbs 31 — not the coffee mug version, not the framed cross stitch on a farmhouse wall — the actual woman described in scripture. And what she was doing will surprise you.She bought land. She evaluated merchandise. She reinvested profits. She supplied merchants wholesale. She built wealth and she strengthened her household — and scripture never once said she had to choose between the two.For Christian women in business and faith-driven entrepreneurs, this episode is the conversation nobody in your church circle is having. Because somewhere along the way, ambition got labeled as rebellion, competence got labeled as pride, and the marketplace got labeled as masculine — and none of that is biblical.Host Daphne Boyd reads Proverbs 31:10–31 side-by-side in the King James Version and the Amplified Bible, unpacking what the original language actually says about this woman's capability, intelligence, and economic leadership. She also shares a deeply personal story about the often-quoted line "her husband is known in the city gates" — and what that covenant partnership looks like in a modern marriage when a wife's strategy and skill quietly build her husband's reputation and their family's legacy.This episode is for the woman who:Feels guilty for being ambitiousHas been told she's "too much"Loves God AND loves building somethingWonders whether her desire to lead, create, and generate income is outside of God's willIt's not. It never was.The Proverbs 31 woman wasn't confined to invisibility. She was commissioned for influence. And so are you.In this episode:What Proverbs 31 actually says about women, work, and wealthWhy the tension between marketplace and motherhood is cultural — not biblicalThe difference between submission and suppressionWhy your ambition may not be a character flaw — it may be obedienceA personal story about covenant, business, and what "her husband is known in the gates" looks like in real lifeSend a textEnjoyed this episode?

Why “Try Harder” Isn’t the Answer: Faith, Burnout, and the Pressure Women Carry | Grit + Grace Podcast

Why does it feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s still not enough?In this episode of the Grit + Grace Podcast, Daphne Boyd speaks directly to women who are doing all the “right” things — showing up, praying, working hard, caring deeply — yet still feel exhausted, heavy, and unfulfilled. Drawing from her experience as a mother, business owner, and Christian woman, Daphne unpacks the lie that more effort is always the answer.This conversation explores how hustle culture, motherhood, and faith collide to create pressure, how discipline quietly turns into self-punishment, and why many women confuse faithfulness with depletion. Through the lens of the Mary and Martha story, Daphne offers a grounded reframe: God is not asking for self-abandonment, and rest is not quitting.This episode isn’t a prescription or a checklist — it’s permission to breathe, to stop proving, and to trust God in the messy middle.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re failing or just exhausted, this episode is for you.Send a textEnjoyed this episode?
