My Husband is My Servant - & Why You Need to Serve Too

What does it really mean to have a servant heart?

In today’s episode of This Feels Holy, I open up about something deeply personal: watching my husband quietly, consistently outserve me—and what that revealed about the power of a servant mindset. From cooking meals when I was emotionally low to giving massages after long workdays, his example reminded me what biblical service truly looks like.

We dive into what it means to serve in marriage, how Christianity sets us apart from self-serving culture, and why Jesus' life as a servant is not just a story—it’s the model for how we’re meant to live.

Whether you’re married, single, or healing, this episode will challenge, inspire, and soften you. Because service isn’t weakness—it’s worship. And the more we pour into others, the more God fills us in return.
