    Why Christian Men Need Other Men | Faith, Work & Discipleship

    Christian men weren’t meant to navigate work, leadership, temptation, and faith alone. In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, Rob Stoddard sits down with Matt Trayler of CBMC (Christian Business Men’s Connection) to talk about what it looks like for men to live out their Christian faith in the workplace—and why discipleship, mentorship, and authentic community matter so much. Matt explains how CBMC helps Christian businessmen, young professionals, executives, and other leaders discover a purpose that goes beyond a paycheck or job title. He also shares the importance of “Paul and Timothy” relationships: godly men intentionally discipling other men through encouragement, vulnerability, accountability, and life-on-life relationships. You’ll hear about: • How Christian men can live out their faith at work • Why identity shouldn’t be tied to a paycheck or title • The importance of Christian mentorship and discipleship • Why successful leaders still need other men in their lives • How older Christian men can invest in the next generation • Practical resources for Christian businessmen and leaders • How one discipleship relationship helped transform a man—and ultimately helped restore his marriage • Why isolation can keep men trapped in struggles like pornography Matt also shares resources available through CBMC, including Operation Timothy, Young Professionals groups, Trusted Advisor Forums, and opportunities to connect with other Christian men.

    Kids, AI Chatbots & the Gospel | Child Evangelism Fellowship

    Fred Pry of Child Evangelism Fellowship joins Rob Stoddard to discuss AI chatbots, kids' safety, and the hope only the gospel gives. In this episode of The Covenant Eyes Podcast, Fred Pry — a second-career missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) — shares how CEF has spent 88 years reaching children around the world with the gospel through Good News Clubs, Five Day Clubs, Christmas Party Clubs (which reached over 12.5 million kids worldwide this past Christmas), summer camps, and a growing "Children Reaching Children" peer evangelism ministry. Fred also opens up about CEF's ministry to military children on 33 U.S. bases, and how CEF adapted after COVID to reach kids where they already are: on a screen. That includes CEF's free, ad-free video platform, the CEF Unite channel. Rob and Fred don't shy away from the harder topics facing families today — including the rise of AI chatbots and AI "companions," and the real dangers these tools pose to kids searching for connection and advice. They talk through recent cases where AI gave children harmful responses during moments of crisis, and why real relationships — and the real hope found in Christ — can't be replaced by artificial ones. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, pastor, or just curious about ministries doing meaningful work with kids, this conversation is a powerful reminder that even in an increasingly digital world, children can be bold witnesses for the gospel — and hope is never out of reach. --------------------------------------------- How Addicted to Porn Are You?

    Building Your Marriage with Brad and Heidi Mitchell

    In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, Karen Potter and Rob Stoddard sit down with marriage ministry leaders Brad and Heidi Mitchell to discuss one of the most overlooked yet powerful habits in marriage: praying together. While many couples pray individually, surprisingly few regularly pray as husband and wife—and the impact can be profound when they do. Drawing from their new devotional resource and decades of marriage ministry experience, Brad and Heidi share why prayer helps couples navigate conflict, make decisions, weather difficult transitions, and stay connected to both God and each other. They explain how bringing challenges before God changes the dynamic of marriage by shifting couples from opposition to partnership and helping them pursue God's will together. The conversation also explores common marriage struggles, including communication breakdowns, forgiveness, major life transitions, digital distractions, and sexual integrity. Through practical advice and biblical wisdom, Brad and Heidi offer encouragement to couples who want to strengthen their relationship and build a Christ-centered marriage that can withstand life's challenges. Whether you're newly married, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking to grow closer as a couple, this episode serves as a reminder that healthy marriages are built intentionally—and that prayer may be one of the most powerful tools God has given us to strengthen them. Episode Topics Discussed • Why so few couples pray together regularly • The power of prayer in strengthening marriage • How prayer helps resolve conflict and improve communication • Keeping Christ at the center of your relationship • Common marriage struggles and how to navigate them • Major life transitions and their impact on marriage • The importance of forgiveness and extending grace • Sexual integrity, accountability, and finding hope after failure • Technology, social media, and digital distractions in marriage • Practical ways couples can reconnect and communicate better Resources Mentioned Build Your Marriage Praying Together devotional by Brad & Heidi Mitchell Covenant Eyes accountability and monitoring tools Timestamps 00:00 – Why So Few Couples Pray Together 00:23 – Meet Brad & Heidi Mitchell 00:47 – Building a Marriage Ministry from Personal Struggles 01:32 – The Inspiration Behind Their New Prayer Devotional 03:51 – The Shocking Statistics About Couples Who Pray Together 04:37 – Marriage Topics Couples Should Be Praying About 05:41 – Keeping Christ at the Center of Marriage 06:50 – How Prayer Changes Conflict and Decision Making 08:08 – Common Challenges Couples Face Today 09:42 – Forgiveness, Healing, and Moving Forward Together 10:30 – Finding Hope After Sexual Betrayal and Broken Trust 13:39 – Temptation, Thoughts, and Spiritual Growth 14:40 – Their Goal of Visiting 80 Countries by Age 80 17:44 – Technology, Social Media, and Marriage Challenges 19:04 – Rebuilding Connection Through Eye Contact and Communication 19:41 – Practical Boundaries for Phones and Screen Time 21:20 – Communicating Needs Without Blame 21:42– Marriage, Perseverance, and Putting Christ First 22:20 – Resources for Couples and Final Encouragement Send us your feedback!
