39 | The Covergirl Project: Matthew 16-28 with Darlene Johnson

Dear Friend,
In our episode today we are covering the second half of Matthew, chapters 16-28. There is so much in these chapters, and be encouraged to keep reading every word for yourself! Darlene Johnson is here again and she and I will be taking a look at ONE very foundational QUESTION of Jesus and sharing some of our personal applications from our time in Matthew…we know that the Lord is teaching you things as well, so keep moving forward and know that you and your family are being prayed for!
But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:15-16

38 | The Covergirl Project: Matthew 1-15 with Darlene Johnson

Dear Friend,
As we start this project through the New Testament, we have the joy of hearing from Darlene Johnson, who has been part of Coaches’ Wives Ministry from the beginning. Her husband Craig recently retired from 40 years of coaching football at both the college and pro levels, and together they now have a business called “NJCO, LLC.” which serves as a sports and ministry business. Darlene is also on the board of trustees for FCA, a former teaching leader for Bible Study Fellowship, mother of 2 adult daughters and above all a woman who loves the Lord and loves His Word. It is such a blessing to have this conversation with her today.
In this episode, Darlene and I will just be sharing what has impacted us in chapters 1-15 of Matthew, what we have learned about the names, image and likeness of Jesus and how it applies to our lives. As we share, I pray that you will be encouraged in your own reading. The Lord wants to show you things as you read on your own, but please remember that you are not alone! We are doing this together!
“...the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.”And this is the word that was preached to you.”-1 Peter 1:24-25

36 | Season 3 Wrap-up & What's Coming Next!

Dear Friend,
 
Today we are wrapping up Season 3 and getting ready for some exciting things throughout the rest of 2025 and into 2026! If you missed any of these past episodes, I encourage you to go back and listen, as we have been lifting up the name of Jesus throughout the past few months. His name, His image and His likeness have been our focus and will continue to be our focus, so in today’s episode I will be sharing the game plan for how we will be doing this together in the months to come!
 
“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (ESV)
 
Prayers for you and your families this summer!
Love to you all,

35 | A Conversation with Edrina Burnette: Growing Strong in Faith, Family & Serving Others

Hi Friends! I’m excited to share with you today my conversation with Edrina Burnette. Her husband Dan is the strength and conditioning coach for the NC State football team. In this episode we talk about faith, family, her passion for serving through sewing and the small business that has come from that- AND life as a coach's wife!
I have loved hearing from our special guests these past few weeks- from Farrah Sinclair, with her passion to serve her community through her DIY studio, and Edrina, our guest today, who is using her creative skills to serve others in a unique way. It is amazing that we have all been given gifts and abilities to use for the Lord! If you are not yet sure what they are or how to use them, my prayer is that you will get some ideas as you listen in today. I know you will be encouraged by this conversation!
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."
-1 Peter 4:10

34 | A Conversation with Farrah Sinclair: Growing Strong in Faith, Family & Community

Dear Friend,
I’m excited to share my conversation with Farrah Sinclair. Her husband Scott is the Director of Strength and Conditioning for the University of Georgia Football team. They have been married for almost 22 years, and have a 20 year-old son and a 17 year-old daughter. Their football journey has taken them from GA Tech to the University of Central Florida, then to Marshall University and then to UGA where they are entering their 10th season. In this episode, we talk about faith, family, her DIY studio and life as a coach’s wife. I know you will be encouraged and inspired by this conversation!

33 | Strength and Conditioning for Coaches' Wives

Dear Friend,
In today’s episode, I just wanted to quickly share about a 3-week class we are offering called strength and conditioning for coaches’ wives. Even if you can’t join in this time around, I wanted to share the details and the heart behind this opportunity.
My husband is a football coach and a strength and conditioning coach, and we’ve talked before about the importance of the weight room. That the success journey of any athlete, or any team of any sport begins with the strength training- strengthening and conditioning the body for a specific purpose. This 3 week class is designed to do this for your spiritual health, so that in whatever you have been called to do....“you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need.“ Colossians 1:11
And if you don’t know where you are in your faith, OR what your purpose is- don’t worry! That is part of it too. We won’t be able to cover everything in 3 weeks, but we will be able to lay a foundation, and it’s short and sweet to fit the busy coaching lifestyle! I hope you can join us!
“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things…” 1 Timothy 4:8 (NIV)

32 | Jesus Under Pressure

Dear Friend,
The coaching life can be an emotional journey, and not just because of the highs and lows of wins and losses. It is a life often filled with intense pressure, unexpected transitions and what might appear to be unanswered prayers and unfulfilled career goals and dreams. You may be currently waiting to know if you will be moving, if there is a transition coming, if your kids will be changing schools, and your friends and family may not even understand what you are going through- it is a difficult season to walk through.
However, we can find comfort because Jesus Himself was “...a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief...” (Isaiah 53:3), and before His death, He cried out to His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane, wrestling with the reality of death before Him. The name Gethsemane (“gat shemanim” in Hebrew), means “oil press”, and it is impossible to comprehend the immense pressure He felt as He carried the weight of the sin of the world to the cross.
So as we celebrate Christ’s victory over sin and death this Easter season, may we also remember that our Savior understands pressure, struggle and agony, and He is with us through whatever gardens we are being called to walk through. He is the resurrection and life, He is all about freedom and joy and eternal glory, but He also understands weakness and pain and surrender, and He has given us a beautiful example of what it looks like to honor the Father while wrestling with the Father’s will.
So thankful for Jesus, our Savior! Happy Easter & blessings to your family!
Love to you all,
💕Candace

31 | Titles, Roles & Recognition

Dear Friend,
Knowing Jesus, His power, His person and His precious love for us changes everything. And to make it all possible, Jesus came to earth and took action, showing us His saving power, but also telling us things about Himself. Jesus called Himself by different titles using illustrations and examples throughout the gospels - so helpful for us as we seek to know Him more!
So today we are going to look at some of those titles from the book of John, and I have a simple outline to share that can help us grow in our prayer and praise of Him. And BONUS 🎉 as we grow in our understanding of who Jesus is, we will be better able to weave in and out of our own various titles and roles, hiring and firing experiences and even seasons of motherhood with a little more stability, because our identity will be more firmly established in Him!
 
Love to you all,
💕Candace

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
