Wake the faith up
Is this series outdated, narrow-minded, old fashioned, does it fly in the face of modern women… sure, yes it does. but does that make it wrong? Does that mean you have a right to not follow it? NOPE.
INTRO: you could easily take the next 5-8 podcasts and throw me under the bus… so listen to my heart, listen to all of the podcasts and wait for the last final podcast on this topic before you judge....

Genesis 2:18 it is not good for man to be alone, I will make a help mate for him.
A helper, a server - not a servant.
If you tuned in to this podcast thinking I was going to talk about how your wife should be your servant.. ah ah - NO. but should she serve you? Should she serve along side you? Yes.
You ask me.. Garth, what is the difference?
Well first let me just say there are multiple verses about wives loving their husbands, helping their husbands, submitting to their husbands, respecting their husbands, caring for their husbands… all of this implies to some great degree of serving your husband… as scripture tells us to serve one another, husbands are also to serve their wives…
BUT WHAT I AM REALLY GETTING AT IS THIS.
You best serve your husband by serving God, what does God say about marriage and are you following his guidelines… I won’t repeat all my other points at this time, but its a good place to start when trying to serve God.
But there is a deeper meaning… Wives best serve their husbands by helping him serve God. Now you may be the wife who comes along side and helps him as he serves in the youth ministry, or you may help him as he serves in a para-church ministry like young life or a pro-life ministry. Or you may help him serve at church in teaching… point being you may actually be doing much of the ministry he is doing and or parts of it- all the while by his side.
OR… you may serve him as he serves God in a specific ministry. Let me put it to you this way…
I have always said “my role, my ministry is being a pastor, preacher, teacher… My wife has always said her ministry is ME. Yea you heard that right, her ministry is taking care of me so that I can be a better minister. Yes, she reads and prays, and shares Christ with others, she is involved in church… but maybe not as much as other women because other women do not have husbands that are in full time ministry (and might I add I have 4 other businesses that I am running, and 2 other ministries that I either run or am heavily involved in) And to be quite frank, I could not do it as easily or in as optimal health and strength if she was not serving me.
Do I love her asking me if I need anything? Do I love when she brings out a cold ice tea when I am reading on the deck? Do I love it if she asks if I would like to come to bed with her? 1000% yes, but I mostly love her serving me, so that I can serve God better… she truly makes me better by serving me. Men, maybe your wives are not serving you as much as you would like because you are not involved in serving God. And wives, regardless if your husbands are or are not - God still calls you to serve your husband as unto the Lord.
