Kenya & ShanTrail King

Marriage Mondays with The Kings is a marriage and relationship podcast hosted by Kenya and ShanTrail King, a husband-and-wife team married for more than 27 years and hosts on KRGN 98.5 FM “The Rock” in Central Texas. We have honest conversations about the real challenges people face in marriage, dating, relationships, and family life. From communication, trust, forgiveness, intimacy, conflict, emotional healing, rebuilding after heartbreak, and strengthening connection to personal growth and purpose, we talk about the issues that can either strengthen a relationship—or slowly tear it apart. Our marriage has been a living testimony of growth, commitment, perseverance, and love in action. Through our lived experience, professional insight, humor, and encouragement rooted in God’s Word, our mission is to help people build healthier relationships and make intentional choices that lead to lasting change. This podcast is not only for married couples. It is also for singles preparing for marriage, engaged couples, individuals rebuilding after heartbreak or divorce, and anyone who wants to better understand themselves and how they show up in relationships. Marriage may not always be picture-perfect, but it can still be powerful. Sometimes the strongest relationships are built through honest conversations, accountability, healing, forgiveness, and the willingness to grow. Our motto says it best: Helping to build stronger marriages that lead to stronger families and stronger communities. So grab your spouse—or your notebook—and join the conversation. We are challenging unhealthy patterns, strengthening relationships, and helping people build the kind of love, connection, and community that can stand through real life. Tune in, share the show, and be encouraged.

    Kingdom Relationships: A Kingdom Man’s Perspective

    Send us Fan Mail What does it really mean to love, lead, and build relationships God's way? And are we truly prepared to demonstrate the kind of love we expect to receive? In this special episode of Marriage Mondays with The Kings, we share a powerful, faith-centered message delivered by Kenya King during Agape Church of God in Christ's Kingdom Relationships for Every Season of Life event in Killeen, Texas. Speaking from a Kingdom man's perspective, Kenya challenges listeners to look beyond relationship titles and expectations and consider what it truly means to demonstrate God's love in everyday life. Rooted in Colossians 3:12–17 and 1 Corinthians 13:4–8, this message explores the biblical foundation of healthy relationships and the importance of patience, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and intentional love.

They require maturity, accountability, faith, and a willingness to grow. Because Kingdom relationships aren't just about finding the right person. They're also about becoming the person God has called you to be. Listen, reflect, and ask yourself: Am I demonstrating the kind of love and character I desire in my relationships?

    "The Self-Love Revolution: Are We Too Focused on Personal Growth?"

    Send us Fan Mail Self-love is important. Personal growth is necessary. But can either go too far? We hear it everywhere: Choose yourself. Protect your peace. Set boundaries. Prioritize your happiness. Do what’s best for you. And sometimes, that is exactly what we need to hear. But in this episode of Marriage Mondays with The Kings, Kenya and ShanTrail ask a different question: What happens when our pursuit of self-love and personal growth begins to affect our ability to love, compromise, sacrifice, and grow with someone else? We explore the tension between becoming a healthier version of yourself and remaining committed to healthy relationships. Because personal growth should help us become better—not simply give us new language to justify avoiding accountability, discomfort, or the needs of others. In this episode, we discuss:  The difference between healthy self-love and self-centeredness  Whether “protecting your peace” can sometimes become avoidance  How personal growth can strengthen—or strain—a marriage  The role of boundaries without building walls  Why individual happiness cannot be the only measure of a healthy relationship  Growing individually while still learning how to grow together  How to recognize when “choosing yourself” may be costing you meaningful connection There is nothing wrong with loving yourself. There is nothing wrong with healing, evolving, setting boundaries, or becoming more emotionally healthy. The question is: Who are you becoming in the process? If your personal growth makes you healthier, more accountable, more compassionate, and more capable of loving well—that’s growth. But if “self-love” leaves no room for compromise, accountability, connection, or consideration for anyone else, it may be time to take another look at what we’re calling growth. You can grow as an individual without abandoning the responsibility of growing in relationship with others. Support the show
