Isa Ryan—Crunchy Con Christian Mom

Crunchy, conservative, Christian homeschooling mama. I also lift weights and like punny memes. Blog: Nothing has changed.

I am a wife, mother, homemaker, truther, follower of Christ and student of the scripture. As a kid raised in a secular household, I was passionate about the rights of the needy and exposing the corruption of those in power. Christ brought a message of love and salvation to the world and the world has mostly turned away, despite the appearance of things. I still seek to expose the deception that in

stitutionalized and commercialized Christianity operates under, as well as the greater deception of the secular world and the indoctrination of the global elite. I hope to lend a mother’s voice to the Christian truther community, and educate and unite women raised in the age of feminism that was designed to undermine their womanhood.

This is probably one of the most frequent questions we get when it comes to submission.

The truth is, submission begins with a Christ-centered transformation in ourself, one of humility and self-awareness that becomes more conscious of *not leading* our husband, but rather letting him lead us.

Respecting our husbands is chiefly how we feel about them, not simply something that we demonstrate in our outward behavior.

If you’d like to learn more about this process of transformation, Isa and Alison are going LIVE this Friday at 1:00pm CT to discuss more!

We’ve got an exciting announcement about how we are teaming up to provide women with the tools they need to take radical responsibility for their own actions and surrender in faith to God’s design for marriage.

Follow .homemakers.manifesto and .devotional.heart to stay tuned and make sure to join us on Friday! Can’t wait to see you there.

There’s no either-or when it comes to a woman’s calling.

A “callings” isn’t a thing that needs to be ranked like a child choosing their best friend or favorite dinosaur.

You are called into communion with God, Who uniquely designed Eve as the crowning glory of creation and mother of all living.

We are her daughters, marred by the fall, redeemed in Christ in the unique station God places women in His beautiful and perfect economy of grace.

Our calling to be conformed to Christ is one in the same with our capacity as wives and mothers.

This doesn’t need to be an argument or a debate. Glorifying God in our marriages, homes, and communities is one and the same with our highest calling, and women who do not marry or have children are not deprived of the gifts God has in store for us through His Son.

Let’s stop talking about marriage and motherhood in the limiting, binary way secular feminists do, and let’s also remember that single and childless Christian women are a glory to God as well, every bit as much as wives and mothers, because they were created female through Christ and are redeemed in Him.

Amen?

Pro tip: it’s a fallacy to declare any idea that criticizes leftist feminism is inherently anti-woman.

No one is allowed to claim a monopoly on the definition of “women’s rights,” especially when they swap in abortion and swap out the right to exclusively female spaces like locker rooms and athletic tracks.

Just chew on that for a second.

No matter what your views are on the broad definition of the term “feminism,” equal civil rights for women are simply not the same thing as destroying the definition of the word “woman” to include the men, nor destroying the humanity of every unborn baby through abortion.

No one gets to slap the word “women’s rights” on the policies you want enforced because they happen to pertain to women.

Much less so when their idea of the word “woman” is a nebulous set of social constructs and not one of the defining features of our creation.

There is no monopoly on women’s rights, no matter what a person’s opinion on “women” or “rights,” and please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise in our sad, decaying semblances of an intellectually free society.

That is all.

Doing unto others doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to your husband’s sin, it means to **treat your husband’s sin as you’d want your sin to be treated by someone under your authority if you were in the same position.**

Biblical submission is not a strict, legalistic edict that restricts a wife from protecting herself or deprives her of advocacy from the church or God-ordained government in cases of neglect, abuse, or adultery. Far from it. (We need godly patriarchy in part so good men will be bold enough to confront sinful men for these offenses against women and children, but that’s a post for another day.)

Biblical submission is the product of a woman’s heart submitted to Christ and His authority, and confronting sin in the world with the same radical mercy and perfect justice that He embodies.

So if your husband is not abusing you, if he provides for you, and remains faithful to you, and you’re still fretting about his sin there’s a good chance that you have some beams in your eye that can be removed. Or maybe you’re just asking this question to try to find out when you’re off the hook from being expected to obey. This won’t apply to all, but I’ve a feeling it will apply to at least some.

The specks you see in his might be blinding beams from his perspective, sure. That’s on him.

And just as your Savior has captured your heart with His undeserved, merciful, gentle love, so you are called to emulate His submission in your marriage, to give *Him* glory, as ought to be the goal of everything you do as one of His followers, most especially in the sacred covenant between man and wife.

Love covers a multitude of sins. So will you love your husband, or continue to let the bitterness and resentment blind you to the amazing way that Christ’s love for you can work in your marriage?

The choice is yours.

You’ll say I’m hysterical and turn around and scream that abortion should be available on demand without judgment.

You’ll roll your eyes and pontificate about how wholesome and innocent s*x ed classes are and how necessary they are to prevent teen pregnancy, but won’t bat an eye when you learn that Planned Parenthood routinely sponsors and even produces s*x ed curricula used in public schools.

You’ll declare that s*xual urges are healthy and “s*x positive” education is important to teach children what to do with their desires, while never considering that SIECUS, the organization that sets s*x ed curricula standards for public schools was founded by an adherent of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.

When God was kicked out of the classroom, the dangerous assumption was made that everything that took His place would be free of religion and ideology.

Oh, but there’s no such thing. Progressives are proud of their history of normalizing the radical secular religion of the early 20th century that is ultimately founded on the rejection of creation, thus, the rejection of the notion that men are created equal.

And so we murder babies in the womb, call it empowerment, and encouraging children not to control their s*xual desires, but to embrace them, and how, and how to destroy their progeny should they be inconveniently conceived.

We are no longer raising up future families, we are raising up s*xual deviants and confused adults who have been told their whole lives their s*xual promiscuity won’t hurt them.

This has been the norm for decades and broken families, broken people, and social degeneracy abound.

So ask yourself: how’s that progressivism really progressing? ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

I know when we think “homemaking,” we usually think of the technical (and beautiful, time-honored) art of turning a house into a home.

Yet “homemaking” in the bigger, spiritual, cosmological sense of the term is what Christian families are called to in Ephesians 6 in how we arrange our families in the fear of the Lord and submission to the framework of His universe.

In other words, “homemaking” is merely temporal if it is not firmly rooted in the Christian worldview; and the reason that I want to encourage other homemakers to be prayerfully attuned to political and global events as well as the tumult of the western culture war is because the clash that we are seeing is spiritual.

This is why "A Homemaker's Manifesto" offers weekly current events digests from a spiritual, biblical perspective for traditional homemakers and household builders.

God, in His wisdom infinitely higher than our own, placed authority and moral responsibility at Adam's feet.

For me to say such a thing is not based in some sycophantic fascination with submitting to a man; this is simply basic Christian theology.

And I, as a woman who considers herself to be perfectly capable of using my God-given discernment and intellect, do not feel in any way demoted or undervalued by this God-breathed doctrine.

It is no great insult to me to be able to use my intellect and voracious appetite for knowledge to educate other women as opposed to being "allowed" to preach to men. Women understand things men don’t. It is good for us to commune together, as well as be able to share intellectual relationships with our husbands and brethren.

Biblically, men take leadership in public and intellectual life for a reason, and the institutions men have built largely taking the lead throughout history was greatly helped and would have been impossible without women, and in many cases was done for the sake of taking care of and protecting women and children.

And when civilizations built by men have been wicked, it will be those men who are judged for it.

Trying to deny and eradicate the differences between men and women attacks the very essence of our creature, made male and female in His image.

Trusting God for His plan for salvation to see us through the very palatable and ancient tension between man and woman, on the other hand, gives Him great glory, and beams upon the glory of the glory of man, that is, woman.

Praise God for woman.

Homebuilding was never simply a woman’s affair, just as civilization building has never been simply a man’s affair.

Families have worked together to survive and care for one another as long as there have been families.

It is only modern times has work become so disconnected from the source of our security and provision that we believe the debate is literally only about whether women should pursue competitive, white-collar careers or get married young and settle into a dull existence of childbearing and homemaking, defunct from producing for her family forevermore, empowered only by the fact that she “chose” this life and *could* have chosen to be a physicist, if she wanted to be.

All the while we completely blow past the significance of building homes. When homemaking is seen as simply “an option” for young women as society tells them their entire lives they must have the option to pursue academia or success in the business world in order to be recognized as valid human beings, what do you think they’ll consider to be more important?

There is no getting away from it — homemaking has been demoted in the eyes of the public, just as widespread casual s*x, divorce, alternative s*xual relationships, and perilous dependence on a massive corporate economic grid have utterly dismantled what it even means to have a home and family.

It’s no wonder that moderns seek fulfillment and acceptance in the furthest imaginable places, always chasing something that they never knew they so desperately needed.

Marriage is the first human institution, created by God, to reflect in a beautiful and mysterious way His relationship to His people.

The Lord of the universe Who provided His own sacrifice to atone for our sins against Him wove His own powerful and eternally loving personality into the covenant we make with our spouse.

Marriage, for this reason, must adhere to His design and cannot be redefined by man, suited to fit our idea of what it should look like or even — as unpopular as this might be to say — for our own fulfillment or gratification.

It takes a tremendous amount of personal sacrifice to create and raise a family.

Sacrifice repels the fleshly values of our modern age; of minds that prioritize everything but God.

Yet it is sacrifice on which the true bonds of love can be built. The love that we need to build churches and communities and civilizations that function to support and care for its members as the image-bearers that they are, rather than just for the glory of man.

Marriage isn’t about you. Parenting isn’t about you. Community isn’t about you.

Following Christ isn’t about you.

It’s about God, and it is for His good pleasure that He called us into lifestyles that serve for His glory; the functional fused with the sanctifying, the sacrificial with the exponentially more fulfilling.

Love the one you’re with, raise the ones He’s bless you with, serve the ones you’ve been given to live in communion with.

Honor the marriage covenant as we await the return of our Bridegroom! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

I mean…it’s like they’ve just been trying to make him look as terrible as possible this entire time.

This, the same week that all the dirt about Hunter and the FBI and 2022 (that we already knew) is coming out in the open.

Wild times.

Pray for our country. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

The fact that we can walk by faith and not by sight is not merely an admonition to use our own willpower to forge ahead, it is the assurance that we can have every confidence that doing so will ultimately result in the culmination of God’s plan for humanity.

You don’t need to distract yourself from current events or avoid them all together, we can look at what’s going on in the world, stay informed, and enhance our faith all at once by looking to Christ.

When we see the world around us consumed with darkness, we know that many hearts are yearning for answers, for objective truth, for comfort, for grace.

Christians have an obligation to keep their eyes open, because if we can’t walk through trying times without fear, what kind of witness could we possibly be to this dying world?

If you want to see your communities, country, and world submit to the Lord, begin by trusting in His unshakable plan and living by His good news.

The modern church of Christ lives among a people that worship self above all other idols, and this particularly brand of idolatry has made its way deeply into the church.

We try so hard to fit our self-worship into the context of the Gospel, but it will never fit.

We read what the Bible tells us about how to treat others, and like little modern Pharisees, we turn around and point the finger at those who don’t treat *us* in the same way, and adopt the world’s psychologized lingo to do it.

“Self-care.” “Love yourself.” “You deserve…” “Give yourself grace.”

Meanwhile, we ask for prayer simply so we can vent how hard it is for us, how dissatisfied we are with the way things are, how easy it would be if our problems would just be solved, and oh, if only!

We do not receive because we ask amiss. We feel far from Christ because we *do not die to self.*

The Gospel is foolishness to the world, and it sounds foolish in this age of self-empowerment to take up your Cross daily, deny yourself, and put others above yourself.

Yet this foolishness is the very wisdom of God: death with Christ that *He* might glorify us *in Him* and achieve exponentially more fulfillment, empowerment, and gratification than we will ever sacrifice in this world.

This is something we can never achieve of ourselves.

So will you deny yourself and take up your Cross and follow Him today?

Matthew 16:24-25

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
