These days, being a wife who values being a homemaker and helpmeet is very counter cultural, even amongst Christians. It's time we normalize a Biblical wife's irreplaceable role in the household, as a wife, mother and keeper of the home. It's a great blessing to be a Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 woman. Even if you're the only one you know doing these things, you are giving a positive vision and setting an example for our young ladies that they don't have to follow popular cultures expectations for women, but there is another way. God bless you and your home and the works of your hands.

My sister ( says she's a Christian) called me a "kept woman" because my husband & I thought it the very best for me to stay home & raise our children, which I did. Never regretted it and we are blessed by the decisions we made early in our marriage. We've been married for 50 + years and are blessed with wonderful relationships with our children & grandchildren. God has blessed us abundantly ! Thank-you for this vlog.

@amandazplace5663 3 месяца назад

It's very subtle, but I definitely get treated by both Christians & non-Christians with some jealousy or like I'm lazy. This definitely "ramped up" once my youngest child was in school full-time. (Yes, there are Christian homemakers who don't homeschool). I think people just don't see their own choices as just that, a choice. Well, I get to choose, too.🇨🇦♥️

@homewithkelli 3 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing your testimony with this, and amen to never regretting it, I pray that your story is an encouragement to those of us in our early years of being home!

@laughingdovefarm3311 3 месяца назад

@@homewithkelli Thank-you , I hope it is an encouragement. Our family, many Christians, gave us much grief for our decision for me to stay home and to homeschool, many Christian friends did too. My own mother turned us in to the local public schools for this , but at the time they did not know what to do with us ( husband worked for them). Also, I was educated and employed as an early education teacher. I remember all the sweet little ones who enjoyed preschool truly wanting to be at home with their mothers .

@pattyhansen7563 3 месяца назад

@@laughingdovefarm3311 I have definitely 'won' my parents over lol. But when we announced that we were pulling our kids out of public school, their response wasn't so good. My father claimed that I would NeVER be able to teach them all they know, because one person just can't do it all. My mother seemed disdainful (even tho she worked for a pre-k and constantly talked about how it was a waste of time, developed bad habits & aggression in kids). I had answers ready for all of that. I told my dad that a 3rd grade teacher is made to 'teach it all' (all subjects) and there probably are some aspects that they don't feel fully proficient at. But they do it anyway & they rely on other avenues (books, guests, further schooling) to brush up on these areas. Why couldn't I do that, too? I said all those years ago, that when we got to the hard stuff & I felt that I couldn't teach it, we would find someone else to help. Well, after 10 years I haven't come to any hard stuff yet that I was not able to relearn myself or find a mentor to fill the void. I have graduated one & have 1 to go. When ever I would say, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there", we would look back & realize that we were already on the other side of the river! And we rely a lot on God moving in our life & everything just worked out.

@1971_happylifedog 3 месяца назад

I would like to say how much I enjoy your videos. I was forced to work out of necessity for many years. I was always stressed and exhausted. I always wanted to be a homemaker. 5 years ago I got cancer. After I recovered, hubby and I decided that I would be a homemaker. What joy! I LOVE keeping my home and cooking and gardening. Ladies, don’t let anyone discourage you from the MOST important job there is, keeper of the home. ❤

My story is the same as yours. After a cancer diagnosis last year, I decided to retire with my husband’s blessing. Since, then I have been saved, have a small home business, and love love being a full time homemaker and help mate to my husband. God is good! We joke that the only time I come down off the hill is to go to the doctor or church.

My dear sister, I am a childless wife of 42 years. I worked outside the home for the first 28 years I worked full time. There were various reasons, all good, but when we got to the point where I could be home, we did it. Over the years I have been given many spiritual daughters and sons. My children are those God brings to me. I am at peace with who I am and the journey God has taken us on. God bless you for answering His call. May you always have peace and contentment.

@jenmanginelli381 3 месяца назад

This is such an encouragement. Thank you for sharing a bit of your history. As someone in the early stages of empty nesting and a stay at home wife, there are days I feel doubt and shame and if I’m not doing enough. There is much to be done within the home and locally. I know I don’t need to justify to anyone or myself. I’m where God has placed me. That truth needs to reach my heart during those moments of doubt and shame. As I wait for grandchildren (Lord willing), He has given me time to be growing in the grace and knowledge of God. He is preparing me and equipping me. He sends me people whom I can mentor and serve. I’m blessed to have aging parents and a 96 year old grandfather. Our time here is never wasted. Such a blessing to be a spiritual mother, and a servant of Christ. Thank you for those reminders.

@juliequates9529 3 месяца назад

Thank you for being open to spiritual children. My parents are both gone and it's really hard to find women who are willing to train and mentor younger women. I feel like being childless may mean you may have more time to do this. But many are just not willing to invest I others. What an amazing impact you're having on others!!

I've been a homemaker since we had our first child 3 years ago. I knew it was the right thing to do then but having recently found my faith (church goer for 18 months now) I am even more convinced and no longer get frustrated when people ask when I'm going back to work.

@jen8544 3 месяца назад

I went through the same thing in the 1990s! I always felt defensive especially toward my husband's side of the family, who all are unsaved. They thought I was just lazy. I don't regret one minute of deciding to stay home even before children.

@pattyhansen7563 3 месяца назад

I literally had my own mother (who was a sahm for 20 years) make a comment 2 days ago, about how boring & miserable it would be if AI/robots took over & we all had to be home with our families all day long with no job to work. I told her that she was describing my life & wondered what she thought I felt about that statement! I don't feel bored or miserable at all. I am too busy to be miserable & because my husband loves for me to be home, I can often indulge in interesting hobbies - so never bored either! Plus, I have felt blessed to spend all of this time with my kids & to support my husband. I didn't take the comment personal in regards to my current life, but it did cause me to reflect on the fact that that must be how she felt about being my mother all those years. bored & miserable being 'stuck home' with 4 kids. But I didn't choose that life for her, she chose it for herself. And one certainly can be a sahm & be bored & miserable - it is all a matter of motivation, focus, & perspective. I am motivated to serve the Lord, by serving my husband, loving/caring for my kids & cultivating a nice home life. I am focused on the task at hand & finding joy in it. & perspective? I GET to be home, I do not HAVE to be home. I verbalize to my husband all the time how grateful I am that he supports me in staying home, that he works long hours & values what I do to make our home a comfortable, loving place. He says his job is to take care of the house, & mine is to take care of the home. And we stay focused on that. I have been working extra hard on being a Titus 2 woman to some younger friends - especially encouraging them to love their husbands more. That is a bad aspect of our culture. Many women have a big chip on their shoulder when it comes to honoring, obeying, & just plain old loving their husbands. & these often are women claiming to be Christians. I want to ask them sometimes..."why did you even get married in the first place?" & "where are you placing God in your behavior/life?" I make sure to express my gratitude to my husband regularly and thank God for placing my husband in my life.

Some people can call themselves Christian’s, but are they really Christian’s. You follow the word of God and don’t pay attention what they say. You are setting examples to the young woman’s who are starting the same journey as you or even older woman’s who never had the opportunity to live the way God intended them too. Continue the amazing work and stay true to the word of God always.

@juliequates9529 3 месяца назад

I am blessed with 5 children but looking back now I can see what a huge opportunity I missed out on by being a working woman before kids. I would have been so much better prepared mentally and spiritually if I'd given myself the time to learn homemaking before babies came along. My husband would have benefitted of course too. I love your clear convictions on this!

@ktrayan1 3 месяца назад

I’m a Christian and I totally forget sometimes that I’m a help meet to my husband and not just keeping the house for the sake of keeping it, and raising just my own kids 😂 It’s demeaning when people say “what do you do all day?” when you work at home for your family, but if you work outside the home at a meaningless job it’s totally accepted. Like somehow it means more to be bored at work (because there are boring parts of every job) and doing a job that can be done by lots of other people. At home you’re the only wife or wife/mother!

Hello there! I just wanted to reach out and say that you've inspired me to find joy in quitting working for the man! (which I've done since I was 14 years old I'm now 40) you have helped me understand what a blessing it is to be home to be able to cook meals for my kids, bring them to their Sports events (I actually have time to enroll them!) as well as being able to be husbands helper as God intended. This is so brand new to me, and I'm incredibly grateful to have your viewpoint and your help. I'm incredibly grateful for your Biblical standpoint on this. Otherwise, I found myself battling "mom guilt," which in turn created chaos in the home, which is the opposite of what God intends for us🙏🏻 thank you, sister!

I remember reading comments on social media during the lockdown in 2020 about how mothers couldn’t stand being with their kids and husband all day. I felt that it was a call from the Lord to bring the children HOME and away from the terrible schools! I did and He has been faithful to help us through the adjustment.

@michelestout9438 3 месяца назад

You are a true woman. This doesn’t mean women who have to work aren’t true women. But whoever doesn’t see the value of keeping a home and being a strong woman for our husbands, mostly while calling themselves Christians, well, they just didn’t get the memo or don’t want to. Many women go to work because staying at home is HARD, it’s a lot of work. The “lunch break” is whenever we have the time. And everyone else usually always comes first. Not because we are martyrs but simply out of Love. To me this is the beauty and privilege of being a woman. We get to practice surrender, self forgetfulness, and these are the very things many women, men included, shy away from. Because it is hard. It takes sacrifice, but the rewards are so gratifying. Something I truly wish everyone would experience. Unfortunately, they just don’t want to. You are an example. I am not Christian,just a God loving person. Keep up the good work. I can feel God being proud of you. Maybe “thinking “ to Himself 😄 at least some people are living life as I meant for them to be living it. God bless you guys❣️🙏🏻

Making the decision to come back home after the last 17 years in the work force has been both a huge blessing and a little concerning as we reduced our income significantly. I know I am where I should be and am very happy at home. My husband is as well. It’s a beautiful thing and great privilege to spend my days at home. You are a blessing Kelli, thank you for sharing your heart.

@thedarkhairedone7672 3 месяца назад

In several studies, it was found that the average homemaker works 13-17 hours a day and that if they were paid for the services rendered to the household and its occupants, then their average annual income would be somewhere around $120,000 per year. It takes a huge amount of self-discipline and motivation to be a successful homemaker, and those who think homemakers must be bored either have tried it and were terrible at it or would not be very good candidates for it.

My husband has some serious issues with normally accepted food and he has to eat pretty cleanly….which of course he isn’t a huge fan of. Before now I kind of put that on him and if he didn’t want to eat a salad and bowl of beans then it was his fault. But you’re making me realize it’s my job to actually make food that nourishes him but that he doesn’t hate…I’ve always kind of thought of my job as the house and the kids but poor husband is sometimes left to his own defenses!

I feel a bit embarrassed to say this, but the other day, I told God that I was bored. I have been inside a lot because the weather is nasty and I just wanted to be outside or doing something different I suppose. Anyway, within a matter of minutes, the Lord found stuff for me to do and I no longer had that feeling of boredom. He had me preserving some vegetables that I was just unsure of what to do with. Then He had me reorganizing a closet. All things that needed to be done, but I had just not had the ambition to do them. Just thought I would share what my experience of boredom was from a homemakers point of view.

@MichelleNovalee 3 месяца назад

I 100% agree with you that women’s priority is in the home and I’m not religious. I have conservative values and I know for myself and for my husband that we are both so much happier with me being home and not working a 9-5. Women aren’t wired like men and we weren’t meant to hustle in the 9-5 rat race. I believe in the value of being a well rested women. Our creative side comes out when we are well rested. Another Christian channel I love, Madisun Grey, speaks a lot about the importance of a well rested women. 💗

It was very common up to the 1960’s for many women to quit their jobs when they got married before they had children. It wasn’t usually about their Christian faith as much as it was cultural. My grandmother taught school for two years only and then quit when she got married. Later in life she was a substitute teacher.

Wow. Your video and your message is the thing I needed to hear this morning. I have just quit a job at a law firm and I am a Christian. I have felt the call of God to leave the workforce last fall and it's taken some time to pull away but here I am. Don't ever let anyone tell you what you're doing is wrong - you are glorifying God (as i'm sure you know). :) I was a working woman for years and God has been calling me out for a while now. I admire you and appreciate the work you do for women watching. My job offered me a hybrid remote or part time position and I feel the pull (due to money). This is a great test of the Lord I feel. God has a way of exposing our hearts but in the gentlest way. Keep being amazing. God bless you and your husband. My husband and I watch your videos and admire and thank God for you.

The Lord will bless you with children just as he has done with many women in the bible❤ never loose faith.

@ramonamartinez7055 3 месяца назад

Loved your video, and you made a subscriber to your channel ❤️. Don’t be discouraged. Most people don’t understand being a homemaker, it’s hard work, and they think that just because you stay at home, that you don’t work, which some of us homemakers work more than others. I know some homemakers that don’t even clean their house, but we’re not all like that. I know some people that would rather work all day instead of being home and putting up with their children and rather hire a caregiver to raise their children. Then they say “I worked all day and I’m too tired to clean the house and make dinner”which is understandable, because they work all day then have to come home and still work on house cleaning and make dinner. But being a homemaker is not work😂. I was blessed with being able to be a homemaker and raise my children. God bless you and your husband. Love your videos ❤️

In agreement my friend. I am much older then you. I have had the same experiences with people not respecting being a Homemaker either with children or without. You & I both know it is anything but boring 🙂. There is always something to do. It is a blessing for those around us and for ourselves 🙂. Praise God 🙌. Well said 🙂. God bless ☀️

Kelli, you are a remarkable young lady. I stumbled on your channel and very grateful that I did. You’re such a wonderful testimony to so many. Just keep being who the Lord called you to be. We’ll never stop people from talking against our beliefs and values. We must remember that we are always to please God and not man. God bless you honey! You gave this 62 yr old woman some hope that their are young ladies out there who want to honor our Lord.

Incredible video Kelli, thank you! You inspire me so much. I also came home before I had children and got so much pushback but am so happy I remained faithful to what God and my husband asked me to do. I’m so happy you are encouraging women to do the same and are so honest about it all! We’ve been blessed with a daughter and I pray she sees the value in women being home. We pray daily for you and Scott to be blessed with children❤️

This video has blessed me so much! To hear someone say the things that i feel are true, but have been questioned and ridiculed over for years, it's such a blessing. I have always felt like I have been called to be a homemaker, and like you said, that is not a popular view. So I have been made to feel less than and like I am not doing enough for years. God has not blessed my husband and I with children yet, so it has been even more of a struggle to make people understand my view on things. I have worked outside of the home several times and each time it has brought more stress, tension, and discord into my home. I am so grateful to have come across this video and your channel. It is so refreshing to find someone who is like minded in a world where homemaking and being a helpmeet to your husband is so looked down upon.

I am so sad to hear other women say they don't like to clean and how they would be bored. God has blessed me in being able to finally be able to stay home and tend to my home economy after decades of working in the work place. I go about my day working for my husband and to the glory of God. It is wonderful how God has blessed our relationship and the peace it has brought to our home and other relationships. Amen! Finances are tight, but we make it work and I would much rather live in this peace than return to the chaos of working outside the home! My husband agrees whole heartedly as well! Thanks again Kelli.

In being this kind of wife, I have disappointed my mother over and over. I'm told that I'm spoiling my husband and that I'm wasting my time. It's so difficult to hear the disappointment in her voice when she says she's uncomfortable when people ask about me because she can't tell them something interesting. I'm teaching myself awesome skills, and I'm learning so much, yet I feel like I can't share that joy with her because it's not enough.

As women, we can sometimes be our own worst enemy. Instead of encouraging each other for our own personal choices, we find fault when someone chooses their own path. We are also more tolerant and accepting of someone who lives across the globe, but always has a comment for a close friend or relative.

I think woman who have never stayed at home are the ones who attack the concept the most. I’ve been on both sides of being in the world, being non Christian, also at that time I worked from home mostly, raised my son. Been through a divorce, had to be a single mom and go out and work and support myself and my older teenage son. Been remarried , became Christian , became a step mom to a younger child and realized how working outside of the home affects my marriage and family dynamic. So now, while financially we still need some of my income I have been able to cut back on how much I work outside of the home. I would prefer to not work outside of the home. My husband appreciates the help I am able to give him and all that I do for our household. He has had to be on his own as a single father and he realizes how difficult it is without a helper. Gods plan for marriage and family and men and women’s roles really is perfect when carried out as He has instructed.

When I finally was able to stay home with my son and was pregnant with my daughter, my husband's brother said to him: "You're going to let her stay home all day?" Like he was insane. Like I was just going to sit around all day watching TV, or something. I am so blessed that I have a husband who sees the value in having a wife whose sole purpose is to take care of him and raise his children with good values.

I am the eldest daughter of a large family and do the majority of the homemaking, since both my parents work outside the home. I'm also preparing to get married and move out this summer. And I'm sad to say but I'm finding all the different tasks of homemaking to be very tiring and difficult. Even with my siblings' help, it seems the house is always a wreck. I try to cook at least one meal from scratch daily, and even that is so time consuming when making enough to feed us all. It is discouraging because I hope to have children but cannot imagine parenting responsibilities on top of what I do now. I feel jealous of the Proverbs 31 women, making crafts and buying land, because I am very entrepreneurial but simply don't have the time for creative things anymore. Also jealous that she had servants, and sad that my mom isn't home and my family cannot get by without 2 incomes. Please pray for me.

@homewithkelli 3 месяца назад

Hi! Congratulations on your soon to be marriage, such an exciting time. And also a blessing that you have practiced so many skills of the home already. I'm excited for you to be a wife and you and your husband set the tone of your home- the expectations and vision for what it would look like for you to enjoy home, the work and getting to make time for the play (which is a lot of time also work, just work you enjoy!) Your story reminded me of when I used to babysit, I did not enjoy it. To the point where I wondered if I would enjoy being a mom because I didn't enjoy babysitting, but babysitting someone elses children, whom you ultimately have no authority over and is entirely stressful (it was for me anyways). So the two aren't even comparable. I'd say that's similar to the situation you are in. I think you will feel a sense of freedom when you have your home and will also be able to look back at this season you're in now and how much it prepared you to be a wife, mom and keeper of your own home. I hope that's an encouragement for you! God bless you!!

@@homewithkelli Thank you, Mrs. Kelli!! Your comment was an encouragement to me. Especially the reminder about us setting the vision for our own home. I have faith that the Lord will sustain my fiancée and i in fulfilling the duties He has for us in marriage and the home, so I need to have more faith that He will sustain our joy and peace at home, too..He knows how to give good gifts to His children, He won’t give me a snake and when I ask for a fish. The man the Lord gave me has the same vision as me, so I shouldn’t fear having the same kind of strife my parents had all my life and the chaos in their home because of it. Thank for for taking the time to write about your experience, because it really has helped change my attitude.

I don’t think we should seek celebration; expecting society or even Christians to celebrate us is selfish and foolish. However when they see you flourishing in ministry, your respect and love for your husband, your productivity and creativity, then they can praise God and His wonderful design! I think part of the problem is not just the culture of women working 9-5, it’s also that many women who stay home are complainers, idle gossips, prone to drinking much wine (wine Moms), and many other follies that have preyed on idle hands since long before the 21st century. Also many stay at home women are not active in ministry, they don’t serve other busy Moms or ailing families in the church; they are hyper focused on their own interests and desires (trying to achieve a peaceful enjoyable life for themselves) and that js not very respectable or admirable. May all we do be for the glory of the Lord!

I'm am blessed to grow up in a background where it would be odd for the wife to go to work. It's just normal for the wife to stay home and raise the children. My husband gets told all the time that it's impossible in this day and age, that it is a two income world now. However, he comes from a family of 10, and none of the wives work. I have so many cousins I don't even know them all, and it is very rare to meet a wife that works! It is more than possible, and I believe God blesses those who choose to stay home with their children or husband. ❤

I don’t see how people think managing a home, especially if you garden and have to keep a yard too, will make you bored. I’ve been married for twenty- three years and have lived on an acre lot and now we homestead on five acres. There is ALWAYS something to do with managing a home. Add some kids and it doubles. 😂 I think many people consider their home just a place to sleep. They never are home and they don’t put time and effort into creating a good atmosphere in their home and yard. I guess if you view it like that then you would get bored. But for those who actually want something other than a postage stamp then we take care to manage our homes. It is a haven!! To each their own but I can always find something to do at home. If nothing else I will open a can of paint. 😂

I follow your vlogs and love it. Thank you so much for you truth driven , God glorifying ministry. Feminism has crept into the church so much that some people, mainly women, have been deceived. While working outside the home is not a sin in itself, as you are still responsible for the running of the home. But it is the attitude, the heart attitude. That is wrong. Come out and be separate frome the world. This is sometimes physical, but it is definitely the heart and attitude as a believer. God bless your calling and ministry.

For me, I have been a housewife for 18 years. I find it hard and extremely lonely. I don't enjoy homemaking. There is no one to talk to most of the day. The kids are at school and I am at home doing the wash and trying to find some semblance of clean. How do people manage being at home all day every day with no one to talk to except the four walls? I am going stir crazy now that my youngest is in school full time. (I have 8 kids and my youngest is 6 and in kindergarten).

It bothers me so much that people would judge you negatively for this, especially other Christians. The idea that women have no value if we choose to stay home is just bizarre to me. "judge not, lest ye be judged" I think is forgotten far to frequently. And I know I personally am not bored at home, there is always something to do to keep a home going, and it just gives me more time to make things from scratch or learn new skills. I worked for years, and I am so blessed to be a homemaker now.

Hello sister thank you so mych for this video. I have been a homemaker for about a year and a half with no children. My husband and I believed in this and I decided to become a homemaker. My struggle is I am not meeting my husband expectations when it comes to our buisiness. I feel underqualified for what my husband is asking me to do, and often times I give up because I just lack experience and knowledge. I was feeling very discouraged this morning, and I remembered about this channel and I feel a lot better. Does anyone feel detached from the outside world and start to feel depressed? Because I am not working and don't have many human interaction I tend to get depressed very often. I wonder if there are other women that go through the same thing and I would like to know how you deal with these feeling. God bless your channel and your family. I am very grateful to have found you!!! A homemaker without a child is definitely not a common thing nowadays and it really helps to see someone else in the same situation.

It’s so sad that there’s little support for these biblical truths. The church at large ignores this most important thing- the family! Unfortunately, women who have the jezebel spirit are the loudest and men are passive so women overrun the church with feminist ideas. Preachers also like the additional tithe the women’s income brings. Who is standing up for the children?!! No one considers children left to be raised by someone else! In fact most “church’s” offer daycare! I am never upset by the world because their eyes are blind, but it is horrible that you don’t get support to be a keeper of the home by the church. My mother and myself only ever got affirmation from our church when we got part time jobs or outside employment which we did temporarily because of the pressure. Titus 2 woman is the command for married woman regardless of if you have children. The devil wants the woman out of the home because she has the most influence over spiritual things and raising godly offspring. What better way to get to the children or even husband if the devil can remove the woman from her domain and leave the home without a gatekeeper. May the lord strengthen your resolve and keep being bold to speak truth.
