  The Stones that Build a Solid Marriage with Christin Hunt

  Oct 1, 20261h 17mS2

  Have a question or comment? Send a text! What does it actually take to build a godly marriage that will stand the test of time? In this episode of our Cornerstones of the Citadel series, Heather sits down with Christin Hunt to talk about the foundation beneath a strong and enduring Christian marriage. Together, they discuss the expectations we bring into marriage, the slow and ordinary work of building a life together, and the importance of focusing not merely on what our husband needs to change—but on the kind of wife Christ is shaping us to become. Drawing from Christin’s article, “The Stones We Bring,” in the Fall issue of Keeping the Citadel Magazine, they explore four essential building stones of a godly marriage—holiness, honesty, honor, and hope—along with the habits and convictions that strengthen a marriage over decades. Christin also shares from her own life and experience as a pastor’s wife, including the unique pressures ministry can place on a marriage and home, how to protect the marriage covenant while faithfully serving the church, and encouragement for the pastor’s wife who may be weary in the work. A strong marriage isn’t built in a day. Stone by stone, year by year, Christ shapes us and teaches us to build upon Him—the true Cornerstone.

  How to Approach Feminine Beauty & Modesty

  Sep 10, 20261h 36mS1

  Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to be a truly beautiful woman? In the final episode of our Battle for Beauty series, Heather sits down with Abi Keane of Taste and See Ceramics for a conversation about beauty, modesty, adornment, and recovering a distinctly biblical vision of femininity. Abi shares her own story of moving away from feminism and the world’s vision of female empowerment toward embracing biblical womanhood—and the freedom and beauty she has found there. Together, Heather and Abi explore the heart behind modesty, the difference between wanting to look lovely and wanting to be looked at, our culture’s obsession with youth and sexual desirability, and why outward rules alone can never produce true modesty. They also discuss how Christian women can delight in clothing, beauty, and adornment without making them idols or becoming ashamed of their femininity. Ultimately, this conversation asks a deeper question: Whose eyes are we living before? Because true feminine beauty isn't found in demanding the attention of the world, but in becoming women adorned with holiness—secure in being seen, loved, and chosen in Christ. This episode closes our Battle for Beauty series before we step into a brand-new season of Keeping the Citadel : The Architecture of the Citadel .

In this episode, Heather sits down with Mallory LeDuc of The Village Calling to explore the beauty of biblical hospitality and the kind of Christ-centered community God designed His people to cultivate. Together, they discuss why hospitality is far more than entertaining, how to overcome the fear of opening your home, what true Titus 2 relationships look like, and how ordinary faithfulness can transform families, churches, and entire communities. If you've longed for deeper fellowship but aren't sure where to begin, this conversation will encourage you to start right where you are—with the home God has already given you.

  Beauty & Hope in the Midst of Miscarriage & Infertility

  Jul 21, 20261h 27mS1

  Send us Fan Mail Miscarriage. Infertility. Waiting. These are some of the deepest sorrows a woman can experience—and yet they are not beyond the redeeming hand of God. In this episode, I'm joined by Katie Bailey to talk about the beauty God brings through suffering. Together we discuss miscarriage, infertility, grief, waiting on the Lord, and learning to trust His sovereign plan even when it looks different than we imagined. Through her own story of profound loss, she shares how God has faithfully met her in the darkest valleys and gently transformed sorrow into hope. If you are walking through heartbreak, longing for children, or wrestling to understand God's purposes in suffering, my prayer is that this conversation will remind you that He is near to the brokenhearted, faithful in every season, and working all things together for His glory and your good.

  Why Beauty Matters

  Jul 14, 20261h 13mS1

  Send us Fan Mail Does beauty really matter to Christians? In this episode, Heather sits down with Jordan Sparks of Fruitful & Fearless to explore a biblical theology of beauty and why aesthetics are far more than a matter of personal taste. Together they discuss beauty as an attribute of God, how our homes can reflect His glory, the relationship between beauty and suffering, and how Christians can pursue beauty without falling into materialism or legalism. Join us as we rediscover why beauty isn't just an accessory to the Christian life—it's a powerful witness to the beauty of the coming Kingdom.
