From The Podcast Episode
Ok, ladies – this one’s just for you! Mike is noticeably absent in our “Ladies Only” podcast, The Noble Man is Encouraged by His Wife. Join the wives of Mike’s “Wise Guys” men’s group (from Episode 15) as they discuss the power of their husbands’ small group and the positive ripple effect it has on their family.
Guys…
If you’ve ever wondered whether your wife would be ok with you joining a small group and adding one more thing to the calendar, this just might be the encouragement you need to hear.
Ladies…
If you’ve ever wondered if the extra time your man will be spending away from you to invest in small group will be worth it, don’t take my word for it. Listen to these women discuss the value of knowing their husbands have other Christian men in their lives. These are men they can be real, authentic, and open with; men who can encourage one another in the Lord and as a result, encourage one another in their marriage and family as well.
Benefits these wives discuss:
“He wants to talk more when he comes home.”
“It helps him become more attentive to me.”
“I feel more cherished.”
“He has guys to carry the load and share the burden.”
“I can be his encourager, but I’m not the only one who knows how he really feels.”

Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
