Permission To Speak Openly with Elana & Issac Curry Elana and Issac

Many people often ask “What’s our story?” “How did I know she was the one?” “How did Elana bear the strength to wait so long?”

God placed a testimony inside of us. It’s both messy and beautiful.

It’s a journey of broken pieces, bondage, missteps, uncertainty, but most importantly, God’s deliverance and redemption!

It may not be popular but it’s necessary for us to share. We need to share how God mended what was broken. 

Tune in for our 5th episode of season 1.

“HOW GOD REDEEMED OUR BROKEN RELATIONSHIP”

As newlyweds who have been married less than 24 months, marriage has taught us some valuable lessons. Things that no self-help book, counseling session, or social media post could ever teach us. 



Married people always say "Marriage is hard work" but they never provide insight as to what exactly is hard about it. There are highs, lows, frustration, and joys. Tune in as we begin to lay the framework for an upcoming sermon series on "What I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Got Married."

Roles, responsibilities, submission, and authority are all important factors in any relationship or marriage. For many, they have become emotional landmines. If we allow popular culture create the narrative, it will tell you your relationship should look one way. He must be the breadwinner. She must cook, clean, and stay at home to raise the children. What he says goes and it is not up for debate. 



What if I told you that God flipped the script on us? I stay at home with the child most of the day. I don't have a job paying consistent money. I depend on my wife to provide health insurance for the family. I cook and clean mostly. Yet, my wife still submits to my leadership. Most would say to her in private that she needs to ESCAPE and call a quits. WOULD YOU?



One thing is true. When you are being led by the Spirit of God, you can't also submit and surrender to the voice of popular culture. You can't be led by both. And sometimes, just sometimes, God will lead you to do uncanny, unfamiliar things because He is working something extraordinary in your life. Can you submit to Him?



Tune in as we discuss egalitarian, complementarian, and the hard work of defining roles in your marriage. 

Tune-in Episode 3

Most emphasis is placed on doing hard work on oneself before considering the covenant of marriage. There isn't enough conversation around the importance of continuing to grow once as you have said, "I do." You need to grow spiritually and emotionally during your marriage just as much as before. Because you’ll have conflict, controversy, and concerns that only an authentic personal relationship with Jesus will be able to help solve.

It is dangerous to stop growing after you get married.
