We illuminate the core of Christian marriage, emphasizing the strength in mutual respect and the strength that comes from mutual submission. Over this discussion we will weave a narrative that invites introspection and acknowledges the delicate balance of upholding personal convictions while engaging in the dance of submission within our relationships.

This episode is particularly special as we stand on the cusp of change, not only embracing a new medium but also preparing for my military relocation to Quantico, Virginia. We share the impact our journey has had on listeners far and wide, like the truck driver who found salvation through listening to the podcast while traversing the nation, and we ponder the future of this podcast that has grown dear to so many people.

As we close this chapter, we are filled with gratitude for the growth and shared experiences gained over the past 2 years. We reflect on the evolution of our perspectives and the strengthening of our hearts and convictions. We discuss the broader implications of submission in societal structures, the resilience born from adversity, and the transformative power of understanding and honor in relationships. As we part ways for a break, we leave you with this truth: God is King. Continue to study his word and continue to learn more about him.

Join us for this meaningful episode as we turn the page, ready for the blessings and challenges that await us on the horizon.

"How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’  John 3:4-5
