    423-Don't Give Up, Your Suffering Matters

    423-Don't Give Up, Your Suffering Matters

    Maybe you're in the midst of a really tough season. 
    It feels like you're alone and barely keeping your head above water. 
     
    Marriage woes can be the most stressful aspect of a person's life. 
    I want to encourage you that your suffering matters. 
     
    I was walking through a museum with my son the other day, and a painting depicted a martyr who was tortured for his faith. 
    It was a moment that helped me reflect on the importance of my suffering every day.
    If a moment like that occurred, where I would have to make a choice between Jesus and comfort... 
    I would be strong enough and have endured enough hardship to choose rightly.
    I hope today's podcast will give you encouragement that you CAN endure ALL things through Christ who strengthens you. 
    Love,
    Belah

    PPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: 
    "Prior to coming to DYM my marriage was at a 3 out of 10... We were at odds for most of our 30+ year marriage"
    AFTER: "My feelings towards my husband came back to life... This was the catalyst to the deeper changes that have given me a marriage I had always wanted."

    422-Compassion Fatigue. Interview with Kevin Bueltmann

    422-Compassion Fatigue. Interview with Kevin Bueltmann

    If you're a pastor or are shepherded by a pastor, it is important to know that the work of the pastor is hard and can have a deep impact on the leader of such work. 
    In this episode, we explore the emotional and psychological cost of deeply caring for others. 
    In today's episode, we delve into compassion fatigue, its causes, and the impact it has on individuals in helping professions.
    Here's what you'll learn:
    What is compassion fatigue and how does it differ from burnout?
    Professions most susceptible to compassion fatigue.
    Warning signs and symptoms to watch out for.
    Strategies for managing and preventing compassion fatigue.
    I'm excited to speak with Kevin Bueltmann, a pastor who helps pastors with Compassion Fatigue. He went through it himself.
    I encourage you to find out more about him and his ministry for pastors at https://www.shepherdscanyonretreat.org/
    If you are wondering if you are burnt out and/or have compassion fatigue, we have a great conversation with practical ideas. I believe this will bless you!
    Blessings,
    Belah

    Graduate Quote:
    Before the program… “I felt that I was not connecting as well with my wife and children as I should. I could sense my wife's frustration with me…I was tired, I was grouchy, I was irritable and it was affecting my most important relationships. It was negatively impacting them and my relationships with them, and it needed to change.”
    After the program… ”My overwhelming feeling coming out of this course is gratitude - gratitude for my wife, for who she is, for how she has hung in there with me and not given up on me, for how she has continued to love me for who I am. I am grateful for this course and the blind spots it has helped me recognize. I wasn't a good listener at all. I was grouchy. I was ungrateful. I was often guilty of having a transactional mindset when it came to sexual intimacy. All that has changed for the better.  It's all about the routine, and doing things [taught in the program] each day.”

    363-Take Responsibility, Change & THAT Creates Real Intimacy. Mick's Transformation Story (Rerelease)

    363-Take Responsibility, Change & THAT Creates Real Intimacy. Mick's Transformation Story (Rerelease)

    I pulled out a fan-favorite episode to share today! If you haven't heard it, you don't want to miss this story. It'll encourage you.
    --
    Mick is a dynamic, charismatic, but also a tell-it-straight kinda guy.
    When his marriage was shallow in terms of connection, emotionally and intimately, he jumped at an opportunity that he discerned understood him as a man and also had a proven track record for change. 
    After taking responsibility, the MAIN change was his heart. He shares some particulars on why that was so vital in the outward changes of his marriage.
    But, he began to realize who God actually is calling him to be as a husband.
    Mick's transformation is truly awesome. But he really took responsibility.
    He wasn't interested in waiting to see what happens in his marriage without intentionality.
    He was ready to do the work and take 100% ownership for his marriage transformation and had full accountability for himself.
    His heart…his change…his commitment to Christ, and then…living it out in his marriage.
     
    I encourage you to listen to Mick's story and witness God's transformation in him.
    From the outside they looked great, but it wasn't until God changed his heart that their connection went to a whole new level.
    Maybe you need this. Maybe a friend does…and you get to be the one to share it with them (like a friend shared it with his wife, and thus God did this in his marriage and for his kids).
     
    Love & Blessings,
    Belah

    Quote from another recent graduate (2024): 
    Before: "We were two roommates who both felt a lot of hurt and rejection.  We lived together, but never talked about the elephant in the room."
    After DYM men's program:  "I am so thankful to be in a loving and happy marriage that I could not have imagined only 12 weeks earlier.  I am excited every day to go home to my wife, something that I felt anxious about three months ago."

    421-Be Your Spouse's Servant

    421-Be Your Spouse's Servant

    Maybe you don't really understand what "servant" means in relation to your spouse. 
     
    Let's explore that together on our podcast today.
     
    Be your spouse's servant. 
    That's Jesus' way. 
    If we believe what He said, this should not offend us but teach us how to live.
     
    Mark 10:45: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..."
    Matthew 20:26b-28 "whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,"
    Matthew 23:11-12: "The greatest among you will be your servant."
    Luke 22:26: "the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves."
    John 13:14-15: "Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."
    Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"
    Mark 9:35: "Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, 'Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.'"
    Luke 14:11: "For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
    Matthew 5:16: "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
    Luke 6:38: "Give, and it will be given to you... For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
    Luke 10:27: "He answered, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
     
    If we truly believe Jesus, this should not offend us but free us to love and serve extravagantly. 
     
    Be your spouse's servant. For great will be your reward. 
     
    Love, 
    Belah

    PSS Client Testimonial:
    Before Delighted Wife: “Our biggest marital struggle was PRIDE. Pride sent us into a downward spiral early on in our marriage.  It went unchecked and only got worse over the years. We were both hopeless and lost.”
     
    After Delighted Wife: “I can finally SEE! God shined a light on my pride the very first week of the program.  We had big celebrations nearly every week. I finally see my husband through God's eyes! I have grace for his imperfections and use them as opportunities to honor God by loving him through them with absolute joy. 
     
    My husband could see a change pretty instantly.  The energy in our home is positive and joyful! We've had celebrations of vulnerability and intimacy I never thought possible and finally share hope that we can actually have the marriage we've always dreamed of. We're all happier, sleeping better, and able to breathe! It's truly a miracle.”

    420-Argument vs. Clarification

    420-Argument vs. Clarification

    If you've been around for a while, you may have heard that we say you must have "0 arguments" in your marriage. 
    "But that's not normal."
    "But that's not healthy."
    "But that means someone is not being honest."
    Well, firstly, it's not my rule. 
    Among many other verses, let's look at Romans 1:29, 30, 32; 2:1, 2.
    “They have become filled with every kind of wickedness... murder, strife... gossips... arrogant and boastful..." 
    "Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them...”
    "Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness... God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance"
    --
    Let's not take God's kindness for granted.
    Allow His patience and kindness with us to lead us to repentance.  Let us not take liberties because we haven't been "smitten" yet.
    --
    I'll assume we're on the same page with the thoughts around no arguments, so how do you communicate differences? 
    Are differences of opinion or disagreements allowed in a marriage?
    YES. 
    But the marital relationship is unlike any other relationship. 
    There is a unity that is not like any other relationship.
    Thus, things must be sorted through in a way that does not compromise unity. 
    It matters how healthy your marriage is right now. 
    Some topics may need to wait until you're healthier before it's wise to bring it up.
    I have several practical ways of looking at this that I am excited to share. 
    May God bless you in this discernment of His way in your relationship. 
    Love, 
    Belah

    Client Testimonial:
    Before MR: “The biggest struggles were that my wife and I had a gap between us and we were moving farther and farther away from each other.
    My wife would use my shared vulnerabilities immediately against me and was constantly mothering/telling me what to do and how to do it. We had physically separated in the home and arguments hinting at divorce were starting to creep in. Our marriage was sick. 
    Playfulness had long since gone from it, and the priorities of life and the world were weighing on us. I highly preferred not to be in the same room with her versus being around her.”
    After MR:  “I have grown to love my wife.
    I have grown to know God loves me enough to give me the miracle of a refreshed marriage—one that I’d hoped and prayed for but wasn’t sure I was worthy of the help. And I’m not. But He granted it anyway and it has made ALL the difference. 
    We are sharing plans and hopes for our future a lot more. We are making better decisions together.”

    419-Half Truths Can Destory More than Lies

    419-Half Truths Can Destory More than Lies

    The definition of a half-truth is "a statement that conveys only part of the truth, especially one used deliberately in order to deceive someone."
    I don't know that anyone who says these half-truths is INTENTIONALLY choosing to deceive someone. I'd prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
    However, we must look at these beliefs and discern if they are scripturally based.
    Certainly, the enemy has deliberately used them to deceive and wreak horrific tragedies in marriages and families.
    Unfortunately, half-truths are more slippery and harder to discern than outright (obvious) lies.​
    Because we see something that somewhat resembles God's way, but we haven't given it the time or held it up to scripture to discern if it is actually aligned.
    My hope in this episode is to help you discern truth from half-truths.
    Here are a few we talked about in this episode:
    Duty sex is bad (true... and there are things you should do to change that) Women should not feel they have to keep their husbands faithful by offering him sex (true... and she has an opportunity to love him well and fill this God-designed desire) Men should not oppress women (true... and he is designated as the leader of the home) Everyone fights and it's normal (true... and the Bible is clear that it is evil)
    Listen in to today's podcast: 419-Half Truths Can Destroy More than Lies
    Listen to the episodes on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or your favorite podcast platform

    I hope also you remember as I mentioned in the beginning ANYONE who has spoken these half-truths likely had great intentions.
    ​​Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that everyone is trying to help marriages become God's best... I hope this shines a light on how God Himself designed marriage to be, according to our guide, the Bible.
    Let's have charity and kindness with one another as fellow believers. We are just seeking God's way above our own.​
     
    Love and submission to Jesus,
    Belah

    PPS - A recent graduate who came first and then because of his changes the wife joined and God did amazing things (!!) wrote this:
    "Hi Belah, I am well, thank you!
    And thank you so much for EVERYTHING you've done for me and my marriage.
    Your positive impact on my family will resound for generations.
    Truly words don't do justice to the blessing that you and DYM have been to us. God is good!"
    Glory to God for all of it!
