Christian congresswoman Lauren Boebert encourages wives to “chase God with everything” they have so that their husbands are encouraged to chase God.

On June 11, congresswoman Lauren Boebert gave a passionate speech to a group of Christian women at the Charis Christian Center in Colorado Springs. There, she talked about her experience as a wife, as a woman, and how the grace of God leads us to forgiveness.
Lauren also shared how she prayed for God for years before her husband joined her in the church. That’s when she urged wives to chase God with everything they have if they want their husbands, and their whole family to also chase God.
“For years I interceded, wanting my husband [Jayson Bobert] by my side, praising God, living out this God kind of life that I knew was far better than anything else that was going on. But ladies, if you chase God with everything that you have, your husband will chase after you chasing God,” she said.

“Chase God with everything”
The mother of four also shared how she found the greatest purpose for her life at home, with her family.
“Influencing my children, influencing my husband, showing him forgiveness when there shouldn’t have been any in the natural. Showing him honor when my flesh wanted to dishonor him. Respecting him when that wasn’t the natural course,” Lauren said.
The 35-year-old congresswoman then continued to talk about the grace of God. It was all because of the grace of God that made it possible for her to fulfill her purpose as a mom and as a wife.
“God doesn’t tell us to do those things because it’s easy. God tells us to do those things because He has graced us to do them. Grace isn’t just something sloppy that just covers up your sin. Grace empowers you, grace strengthens you. This is the divine reflection of God in your heart that other people see.”
Grace of God
She then ended her speech by highlighting that the amazing grace of God leads us to forgive, honor, and respect people.
“This is what grace is for. It is amazing grace,” she said.
“God doesn’t tell you to forgive people, to honor people, to respect people because He wants you to be a doormat. He knows that you can’t do that on your own and that you’ll have to tap into what He has for you. None of us can do what God has called us to in our own strength,” she added. “We need that grace, we need the Holy Ghost. We need that anointing because anything that God has called us to is much bigger than ourselves, and if we can do it in our own strength then it’s not God.”
