    “We literally tried everything…until we found you guys.” - Interview with clients, Rob and Holly Clark

    Rob and Holly Clark share how their 20-year marriage quietly drifted into roommate life—no intimacy, constant tension, and a “we’ve tried everything” exhaustion after books, counseling, and dead-end advice.  Their turning point came when they stopped treating symptoms and let Jesus heal the root: unforgiveness, old wounds, and the spiritual battle attacking their home.  As they rebuilt with repentance, inner healing, and daily obedience to the Holy Spirit, connection came back fast—and their sons now feel the joy and safety in their house so strongly they notice the slightest shift.  If your marriage feels too far gone, their story proves it is never too late for Jesus to restore what looks impossible. 👉 Hit subscribe and join us weekly as we talk all things marriage, faith, family, and healing.

    If We Had to Start Our Marriage All Over, Here’s Exactly What We’d Do (Part 2)

    In this episode, we get real about why most conflict isn’t about the issue—it’s about emotional overwhelm, unspoken expectations, and trying to do marriage alone.  We talk through how learning to regulate emotions, communicate expectations early, and stay connected to healthy community could have saved us years of unnecessary pain.  This isn’t theory or perfect advice—it’s hindsight from lessons learned the hard way.  If you’re fighting for your marriage or simply want to build it wiser and stronger, this conversation is for you. 👉 Hit subscribe and join us weekly as we talk all things marriage, faith, family, and healing.

    The Battle for Your Identity and Your Marriage...

    It’s an honor and a joy to welcome our good friend, mentor, and spiritual father — Mr. Clyde Lewis. He loves Jesus, he’s a husband, a father, a pastor, and a prophetic coach who helps leaders and business owners discover how to walk in their God-given identity and carry kingdom authority into every area of their lives — including the marketplace. This is one of the most important topics we could ever talk about… Knowing your true God given Identity.  Your identity becomes your marching order — your compass for life. The two most important things in life are knowing who God is — and knowing who you are. And make no mistake: Satan hates it when you discover that. Because when you do, you become unshakable.
