About Me

Hello! I’m Naz (Nazia) Amos, wife of Ashley Amos and mom of 3 wonderful boys. I am also the editor and a writer at Amos Ministries. My focus at Amos Ministries is to write about biblical scriptures and topics through the perspective of a Christian wife. This is uniquely different from the perspective of a single woman or a widow as theirs would be much the same as a man. I invite you to join me on a journey of faith, love, and family in the light of Christian values. My path to becoming a Godly Christian wife started almost 20 years ago. It has been a transformative and inspiring journey, and I’m excited to share my insights and experiences with you about being a wife and mother.

A Journey of Faith

I began my journey of faith as a Muslim, and it was during my high school years when I was just 16 years old that I met my husband, Ashley, who was a Christian. We were high school sweethearts, and our love story has been intertwined with our shared faith journey. At that time, I was a practicing Muslim, and little did I know that this chance meeting would lead to a transformative experience.

Prior to meeting Ashley, I used to question Islam. Even though my family was faithful to Islam, from a young age, I did not feel a strong connection to the faith, nor did I have any desire to practice it. Although I had a deep love for God, to me, Islam didn’t seem like the right path. It felt as if it was a forced religion, devoid of love, that was kept out of fear and duty. I quietly struggled with prayer and reciting verses from the Quran. I felt as if God was a far away being whom I could not reach. The guilt and shame of not being able to remember prayers and islamic traditions was gut-wrenching. I knew there had to be another way to enjoy an intimate relationship with my Creator, where I could simply speak to him as if He were my father, without the need for tradition, rituals or meaningless, rehearsed prayers. 

As my relationship with my husband deepened, I was introduced to the Christian faith. Anytime we would face an issue, I felt helpless as I knew that my prayers were falling on deaf ears. While I was busy panicking, my husband on the other hand, would tell me to trust in God and surrender my cares to Him, and that He would see us through. Through my husband’s faith and God’s faithfulness, I slowly began to realize how much I needed Jesus in my life. Over the years, our love grew, and at the age of 21, I made the life-altering decision to become a Christian, embracing a new belief system and a new way of life. This decision was made through a deeper understanding of Christ and his teachings and I have been on an amazing journey ever since. My transformation was not without its challenges, as I faced persecution and isolation from my family due to my newfound faith. Persecution is a part of all Christian lives and so I expected this, as it says in the Bible,

2 Timothy 3:12 – Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

Embracing Biblical Marriage & Family Values

In my blog, I wholeheartedly embrace the Biblical teachings of a wife’s submission to her husband. In my role as a Christian wife and mother, I do not support the idea that a husband and wife are equal. They are equal in the sense that both are partakers of the same Holy Spirit. However, they are not equal in the respective roles within their marriage. I uphold the biblical belief that a Christian marriage follows a hierarchy, where the head of a wife is her husband and the head of the husband is Christ. While it is not what most Christians practice today, I believe it forms the only true solid foundation of a Godly marriage and family. It’s a belief that I’ve held onto firmly, even when faced with criticism and isolation, both from my family and from fellow Christians. Rooted in Scripture, I have overcome these challenges and found strength in my faith. 

Matthew 19:29 – And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

Despite the persecution, following God’s outline for a Biblical marriage has not been without its rewards! As a result of embracing the principles of a submissive wife, I’ve witnessed numerous benefits that are beautifully outlined in Proverbs 31. My husband and I have been together faithfully for 24 years. We have traveled to numerous countries around the world. We have 3 wonderful sons aged 17, 14 and 10. Each child has excelled academically beyond my imagination. My marriage has not gone unnoticed in the community either, as people from all walks of life often compliment my husband and I on the harmony and strength of our family. We are a living testament to the profound impact that following God’s design for marriage and family life can have. It is my firm belief that this commitment to Biblical principles has enriched our lives and can do the same for others.

Topics We’ll Explore

This blog will be dedicated to fostering a Godly marriage according to biblical principles. In ‘The Godly Wife Blog,’ I will delve into various topics related to being a Christian wife and mother. I aim to share the general spirit of a Godly wife, someone who is operating through the power of the Holy Spirit. Expect discussions on the Biblical meaning of husband and wife roles, embracing the office of being a wife and mother, and the importance of nurturing a Godly family. 

Beyond the Blog

Outside of my role as a writer, Christian wife and mother, I have several hobbies, including gardening, cooking, and spending quality time with my family. In our home, we prioritize daily devotionals led by my husband. I also make it a point to prepare home cooked meals inspired from different cuisines and eat together as a family on a daily basis. I will also be sharing recipes that are great for feeding a family or sharing at a gathering.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you and hope that ‘The Godly Wife Blog’ becomes a source of inspiration, encouragement, and insight as we navigate the beautiful path of Christian marriage and family together. Feel free to reach out to me at nazamos@amosministries.com with your thoughts and comments, as I love hearing from you.
