Praying for Your Husband: Finding Hope and Healing | Interview with Julie Bender
Hey, Mama, in today's episode, we’re sitting down with Julie Bender from thejuliebender.com to dive into the life-changing practice of praying for your husband. As Christian moms, we often juggle so much that our marriages can feel strained—but prayer can shift everything.Join Julie Bender and Natalie as they explore the power of intercessory prayer, drawing from Julie’s deeply moving journey through the loss of her first husband, healing, and remarriage, as shared in her work and ministry.Julie opens up about how prayer became her anchor after losing her first husband, guiding her through grief and into a restored future with a new marriage. Through heartfelt stories and Scripture, she reveals how praying for your husband can deepen your connection, dissolve resentment, and invite God’s peace into your home.Listen along as you discover the beauty of lifting up your husband in prayer, freeing yourself from overwhelm and embracing a marriage rooted in faith. God’s love and grace are ready to work miracles in your heart and home—you don’t have to do it alone.Julie is a believer, a wifey (formerly widowed), a mama, and an oversharer. As both a podcast host and recent author, she strives to be bold in everything: her lipstick and lashes, opinions, mistakes and wins, and sharing truth rooted in faith. Her life hasn’t been easy, but she's learned how to embrace her story, and in that, found healing and her true self. Her personal mantra is #beboldandjustbeyou so she shares her heart, humor, and frequent embarrassing moments willingly. She's winging it. Motherhood, her eyeliner, dinner plans, everything. She co-hosts Smart Living With Grit and Grace Podcast, hosts The Julie Bender Show Podcast, wrote When Marriage Is Hard and produces a video series for wives called #prayingforyourhusanddaily.
