What if Jesus’ cry from the cross was not just a question—but an invitation?In this episode, we take a deeper look at Psalm 22, the very passage Jesus quotes when He cries,“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46).By stepping into the words of David, we begin to see not only the depth of human anguish—but also the unshakable thread of trust that runs through both David’s life and Jesus’ suffering.When Jesus cries out, He is not losing faith—He is revealing His heart:He is bearing the weight of sin (2 Corinthians 5:21)He is entering fully into human sufferingHe is trusting the Father even in silenceAnd just like Psalm 22, the story does not end in despair.

In this heartfelt episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily shares a deeply personal and powerful reflection on what it means to be wholly secure in Christ, brought into sharp focus through a frightening weekend when her son experienced a life-threatening allergic reaction. In the midst of fear, exhaustion, and helplessness, she witnessed God’s providence in every detail—from being in the exact city where her son’s doctors were located to experiencing an unexplainable peace in the hospital. Through this experience, Emily unpacks how true security is not found in our circumstances or our own ability to control outcomes, but in the unchanging character of God. Drawing on Scripture and personal testimony, she reminds listeners that Jesus is our anchor, our peace, and our eternal hope. Even in life’s most unstable and terrifying moments, we can rest assured that God goes before us, walks with us, and holds our future securely in His hands. This episode encourages women to release false security, trust fully in Christ, and find deep, abiding peace in His promises—no matter what they face.
