  3. Why Your Faithfulness Still Matters When Your Spouse Isn't on Board | Episode 43

    Why Your Faithfulness Still Matters When Your Spouse Isn't on Board | Episode 43

    Is your spouse refusing to get on board with your faith, family vision, or intentional living? Derek and Gina England lovingly debunk the lie that your personal obedience is dependent on your spouse's immediate "buy-in." Your faithfulness still matters. God sees it, your family needs it, and hearts can change because God can change them. If you feel like you're rowing the boat alone, this episode is your compass! In this episode, Derek and Gina tackle the tension of mismatched conviction in marriage—and what it means to follow God even if you’re walking alone (for now). So many marriages struggle when one partner is eager to pursue a deeper faith, a healthier family culture, or simply a more intentional lifestyle, and the other partner resists. In this raw and encouraging conversation, Derek and Gina tackle the biggest excuses behind a spouse being "not on board." You'll learn: - The deeper reasons for a spouse's resistance (fear of discomfort, fear of failure, lack of vision). - How the fear of man is a snare in your marriage and family life. - Why a spouse's disobedience is NOT your excuse to stop your obedience. - The scriptural truth that God changes the hearts of kings (and your spouse's heart!). - Practical strategies for timing big conversations and making small behavioral changes that win your partner over. Don't lose hope. Your intentionality is laying a generational foundation for your family, even if you are the only one on the boat today. #god #podcast #familyonpurpose #familyfirst #christianmarriage #christianparenting #christianfamily #family #inspiration #biblicalparenting #marriage #solo #divorce ************ 🔔 Subscribe for weekly podcasts, family meeting hacks, and Christian parenting encouragement! @familyonpurpose 👇 Connect with us: Instagram: instagram.com/derekandginaengland/# Facebook: facebook.com/people/The-Englands/61569886013432/# 🎯 Keywords You’ll Find Here: family on purpose, intentional living, Christian parenting, Christian family, faith at home, raising kids with values, biblical marriage, family meeting, family devotions, godly family, Christian mom, dad encouragement, Christian podcast
