Created For The Season: The Coaches’ Wives Ministry Podcast

30 | Jesus & Our Daily Lives

Dear Friend,
The name Jesus comes from the Hebrew word Yeshua which means Yahweh saves. We know that He is THE Savior, and our only hope of eternal salvation. However, we need Jesus as the Savior of all the things in our daily lives as well! It’s easy to look to ourselves, other people and other things as “functional saviors” instead of the One who is there to rescue, deliver and save us in the midst of our daily trials and challenges.
This is what I’ve been wrestling with this week, and meditating on the name of Jesus has been so impactful. I’m excited to share with you today and I hope you enjoy EPISODE 30!!
Love to you all,
💕Candace

29 | Jesus & Our Families: Special Testimony

Dear Friend,
As we continue our series, talking about identity in Christ and being all about the name of Jesus, I wanted to share with you a testimony that is very special and personal to me. Our son Andrew recently shared his story at the school where my husband coaches, and today’s episode is an audio recording of that night.
What has happened in Andrew’s life is something that only the Lord can do, and I hope you will be encouraged to keep praying for your loved ones. Keep praying in the name of Jesus for your family, regardless of how dark the circumstances and hopeless things might seen. There is no other name by which we are saved, (Acts 4:12) and there is no parenting skill or wisdom of man that can compare to the power of Jesus.
Love to you all,
💕Candace
P.S. A great song to worship with as you pray over your family is “I speak Jesus” by Charity Gayle, found in our playlist! "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” Proverbs 18:10

28 | Isaiah 43: Called by Name & Given Identity, Purpose & Security

Dear Friend,
Once you start looking for references to name, image and likeness in the Bible, you will literally see them everywhere. It is very clear that names are important to God, in fact, calling things by name is God’s idea- He even named the stars! (Psalm 147:4) However, in the greatness of who He is, it’s easy to forget how personal He is as well. So if you are feeling overlooked, overwhelmed or overcome by the chaos of life, you can know that the Lord of all creation cares about the smallest details in our lives. He calls us by name, giving us identity, purpose and security because we belong to Him.
But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” - Isaiah 43:1-3

27 | Season 3 Kick Off: His Name, His Image & His Likeness

Dear Friend,
In our world today, NIL, social media and other cultural shifts have made it more challenging to be a coaching family. Most of us got into the profession with a love of the game, a love for the athletes, and a desire to help them to succeed both on and off the field. That can still happen, and it is happening! I know God is using you and your coach even if you don’t always see it! But there are more business components now, which means more rules to follow, more hats to wear and more time required.
However, there are also more opportunities to bring the gospel into the mission field of sports than ever before. And we can acknowledge to the Lord (sometimes in tears!), that it’s really hard to keep up with it all and to keep our eyes on Jesus! But the Lord reminds us in His Word that the ultimate goal of everything is to lift Him up, and He is with us in all that we do. He made us in His image, after His likeness, for the glory of His name, and that’s what we are going to be talking about in this podcast and through our Bible studies. Even our boutique items will be reflecting this theme, because it is so so important AND so foundational and so full of encouragement and hope! We were created by Him, for Him and with a purpose- and He is always with us!
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26

26 | Season 2 wrap-up & a personal note from Candace...

Dear Friend,
I can’t believe that we are already wrapping-up Season 2! I am so thankful for our guests this season and the opportunity we’ve had to go through the book of Ephesians together! I will be sharing a little today about what’s upcoming for Coaches’ Wives Ministry.
I will also be sharing some of what I’ve been walking through personally these past few years since we launched as a ministry, and what I’ve been learning with Jesus through some very difficult seasons. I pray you will be encouraged through it, and that even if you are entering into a season of transition, job loss or battles of any kind, that your heart will be strengthened by His Word to stand firm.
“...in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:37-39

25 | Ephesians 6: Standing Firm in Battle

Dear Friend,
I’m sure your husband has coached those athletes who have the “it” factor. You can’t really explain it, but they can rise above challenges and accomplish things on the field or court, on the mat or even in the weight room that go beyond normal athletic ability.
As we talk about the armor of God in Ephesians 6 today, we need to remember that as Christians, we too can have that “it” factor to walk through any battle with peace, strength, confidence and wisdom. The armor of God gives us everything we need to STAND FIRM in every battle of every season in a supernatural way that goes beyond explanation. Ultimately, what we have as believers in the battle is Jesus Christ as our captain, and no one has ever had a captain like Him. I will close with a quote that I share in our episode today, and it is a great encouragement for Standing Firm in battle. So thankful for the opportunity to walk with you through the entire book of Ephesians over these past few weeks!
“Trajan, the great Roman Captain, when he was on the field of battle would take his own armor off and put it on his wounded men. He would tear his own garments up and use them as bandages, but that's nothing compared to Jesus. Because Jesus Christ tore himself to deal with your wounds, and he took the spear that was meant for us into his own heart so that all of our deaths can be paid. Put on the full armor of God- because Jesus Christ made himself vulnerable for you, you can become protected in Him." -Tim Keller

24 | Ephesians 5: Standing Firm in Love & Sacrifice

Dear Friend,
If you have been married more than a day, you’ve probably realized that your husband is not perfect- and neither are you! Marriage brings out the best and the worst in us and it matures us in Christ in a way that no other relationship can do. We do face unique challenges in our marriages as coaches’ wives (henceforth terms like single parent and football widow), but when we remember that Jesus is the perfect husband and we are His bride the church, everything else seems to gain proper perspective.
So as we look at Ephesians 5 today in this episode, we will be focusing on the love and sacrifice of Jesus- standing firm in God’s love and sacrifice for us and overflowing from there. This should be the basis of all our relationships, and I’m excited to take a look at these life-changing truths with you.
“.....And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:2
Love to you all,

23 | Ephesians 4: Standing Firm in Unity

Dear Friend,
In today’s episode, we are looking at standing firm in unity. We know the importance of this for teamwork, marriage, family and church, but what actually is biblical unity? The definition of unity is, “being together or at one with someone or something,” and as we will see in Ephesians 4 the goal is not just unity in and off itself, but unity around what is right and true- all for God’s glory. In addition, unity is not uniformity, because we all have different gifts given by Him for His glory and the maturity of His children (Ephesians. 4:11-13). However, we are all called to put off our old selves, and put on the new because we are new creations in Christ- to NOT be unified with our old ways of life. My prayer is that through this scripture in Ephesians we will be encouraged towards true unity and maturity, reflecting His righteousness and holiness as the body of Christ.
“I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing: Salvation to our God on his Throne!” Revelation 7:9-12

22 | Ephesians 3: Standing Firm in His Power (even when you're feeling weak and overwhelmed!)

Dear Friend,
In today’s episode, we are looking at Ephesians 3 and standing firm in God’s power. I love how Paul begins the chapter reflecting on his own weaknesses and salvation story!
“To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ…” Ephesians 3:8
Paul lived in such humility, calling himself the least of all the saints, yet at the same time He was constantly bragging! However, his boasting was all about the power of the Lord. This is the humble confidence we have when we know who we are in Christ and walk in His power, and I’m praying for us to be strengthened in these truths today!

21 | Ephesians 2: Standing Firm in His Grace (even when you're feeling the pressure to perform!)

Dear Friend,
It’s easy to say that we are saved by grace, but we still might be stuck in the cycle of performance in our everyday lives! In Ephesians 2, we see not only how the Lord brings us from death to life by His grace through faith for salvation, but that the grace continues on as we walk out the plans He has for us. God wants us to EXPERIENCE His grace in our daily lives, because we truly can’t do it on our own!
As we continue through Ephesians with chapter 2, I’m praying for us all to have joy and peace in the journey as we STAND FIRM in His grace- because the pressure is off! And we get to remember what we were saved from and what we were saved for!
Love to you all,
