Our vision is to answer God’s call by using our marriage—its experiences, lessons, and redemption—to help couples seek God for true transformation. Through Christ, we stand to reclaim marriages from the enemy, reminding the world that marriage belongs to God, was redeemed by Christ’s sacrifice, and is meant to reflect His love, grace, and covenant faithfulness. We envision marriages elevated, restored, and anchored in God’s truth so they may glorify Him and strengthen families for generations to come.

    Surface-Level Attacks: When Old Pain Resurfaces

    Send us Fan Mail Podcast Intro: Surface-Level Attacks—When Old Pain Resurfaces Have you ever thought you were healed from something—only for one conversation, one disagreement, or one unexpected moment to bring all those old emotions rushing back? Sometimes the attack is not about what is happening right now. It is connected to a wound from your past that was never fully surrendered, healed, or replaced with the truth of God’s Word. Welcome to Anchored in Grace. We are your hosts, Eric and Sharris, and today we are talking about “Surface-Level Attacks: When Old Pain Resurfaces.” In relationships and marriage, past rejection, betrayal, disappointment, abandonment, and unresolved hurt can suddenly rise to the surface. Before we realize it, we may respond to the person in front of us based on the pain of someone or something from our past. But God does not want us living as prisoners of old wounds. He wants to heal us completely—beneath the surface—and replace our pain with His love, grace, peace, forgiveness, and joy. Today, we are going to discuss how to recognize emotional and spiritual triggers, how unresolved pain affects our relationships, and how surrendering those wounded places to God can help us respond from a place of healing instead of hurt. So, take a deep breath, open your heart, and prepare to go beneath the surface—because what resurfaces is not always meant to destroy you. Sometimes God allows it to come up so He can finally heal it. Homework: The Seven-Day Surface-to-Surrender Challenge Day One: Ask God to Search You Read Psalm 139:23–24. Pray: “God, reveal what is beneath the surface of my heart.” Write down anything God brings to your attention. Day Two: Identify Your Triggers Write down three situations that regularly produce a strong emotional reaction. For each one, ask: “What does this situation remind me of?” Day Three: Identify the Lie Write down the negative message connected to each trigger. Examples: “I am not enough.” “Everyone will eventually leave me.” “I cannot trust anyone.” “My feelings do not matter.” Day Four: Replace the Lie With Truth Find a Scripture that speaks against each lie. Examples: “I am not enough” can be replaced with the truth that God’s grace is sufficient. “Everyone will leave me” can be replaced with Hebrews 13:5, where God promises never to fail or abandon us. “I am unlovable” can be replaced with Romans 8:38–39, which teaches that nothing can separate us from God’s love. Day Five: Have an Honest Conversation Married and engaged couples should set aside uninterrupted time to discuss one emotional trigger. Use this structure: “When this happened, I felt…” “It reminded me of…” “The story I began telling myself was…” “What I need from you is…” “What I am asking God to heal in me is…” Singles can have this conversation with God, a trusted mentor, counselor, or pastor. Day Six: Release the Pressure Spend at least fifteen minutes in prayer, worship, journaling, or quiet reflection. Name every burden you have been trying to carry. Then surrender each burden to Jesus. Day Seven: Practice Replacement Choose one fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22–23 that you want to practice intentionally. Ask God: “What would love look like in this situation?” “What would patience look like?” “What would self-control look like?” “What would peace look like?” At the end of the week, share what God revealed and how your responses began to change.
