Doing Life with Ken and Tabatha

Ken Claytor and Tabatha Claytor

For over 20 years now, we’ve fought the good fight of faith, and along the way we have learned so much about living a God-first life. Before Jesus, Tabatha was diagnosed depressed for over 12 years, we had $100,000 in debt, and we were headed straight for divorce. But when we started living for God, our lives radically changed. Tabatha was healed, we prospered financially, and we became best friends. With God's help, we learned how to do life well. And that’s exactly why we’ve created this Podcast – to help you do life with us and do it well. We will help you unlock principles for doing life God’s way, which will lead you to more joy, more peace, and true freedom.

    10 Things You Must Know To See Lasting Change This Year

    Send us a text Resolutions powered by adrenaline rarely survive February. We’re after something deeper: a year that actually changes because your spirit leads, your mind renews, and your habits align with what God already says about you. Together we unpack why identity comes before intensity, how to let the old you die without shame, and the simple daily choices that turn conviction into consistency. We start with the core conviction: this will be your best year ever if it’s your best year spiritually. That means speaking new language over your life, finding identity in Christ above career, politics, or past labels, and embracing the crucified life of Galatians 2:20 where influence grows as self decreases. From there, we get practical. We pair faith with works—Scripture and prayer before scrolling, weekly church in person as a non-negotiable, and one to three priorities per quarter that actually fit your calendar. We walk through building when-then systems, designing your environment, and swapping bad habits for better ones so you can grow an oak tree, not a firework. Community and accountability carry the change forward. Choose friends going where you want to go, join a small group or serve team, and seek mentors with visible fruit inside your local church. Create boundaries that protect your calling—media limits, no-phone bedrooms, and clear yeses that define your noes. Celebrate small wins, restart without shame, and keep Matthew 6:33 at the center: seek first the kingdom and trust God with the rest. If you’re ready for lasting change rooted in faith and multiplied by wise habits, press play and journey with us. Subscribe, share this conversation with a friend who needs a reset, and tell us your top three goals so we can pray with you. Let’s make this your strongest spiritual year yet.

    Why Fast? | Benefits of Fasting

    Send us a text Ready to trade comfort for clarity? We’re kicking off the year with a 21-day journey that goes beyond skipping meals and straight into a deeper pursuit of God. Fasting without prayer is just a diet; fasting with prayer, scripture, and generosity becomes a spiritual reset that reshapes your days, your decisions, and your desires. We share real stories and useful steps. Tabatha talks about fasting through a cancer battle and why walking into chemo in a fasted state (think autophagy and immune reset) paired with steady prayer brought strength and focus. Ken opens up about years of weekly fasting while launching a church and why he loves the benefits, even when his flesh complains. Together, we map out practical paths—sunrise-to-sunset, one-meal-a-day, Daniel-style—along with a rhythm that actually works: plan meals before day one, schedule prayer and scripture, reduce digital noise, and let hunger cues trigger time with God. Isaiah 58 gives us the blueprint: a fast that breaks yokes, feeds the hungry, and ushers in healing and light. We press into that promise with simple, doable actions—reallocate time and food money to serve, forgive quickly, invite accountability, and make this a family practice. Kids can give up one favorite thing, couples can align their plans, and singles can thrive with a strong check‑in partner. If you slip, adjust without quitting. Finish by reassessing what returns to your life and what stays on the altar, then extend the momentum with our six‑month challenge: build your calendar around church, daily time in the Word, and a steady, prayerful pace. Join us for 21 days, then decide what you never want to pick back up. Subscribe for new Thursday episodes, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and if you need a church home, join our live Sunday service at 9:45 AM EST on YouTube. Leave a review and tell us: what are you laying on the altar this year?

    Our Best Godly Wisdom

    Send us a text Ready to stop making resolutions that fizzle and start setting goals that actually change your life? Ken and Tabatha dig into the difference between hype and habits, laying out a practical, faith-forward way to plan your year with clarity, courage, and consistency. We talk about why most resolutions collapse—no strategy, no steady will, too much emotion—and how to replace them with God-aligned goals backed by action steps, Scripture, and a plan you hold loosely while trusting God to direct your steps. We get specific about what keeps you on track. Think written targets that focus your faith, goals that act like guardrails in a noisy world, and a morning you master by starting the night before. You’ll hear simple, proven tips: create a wind-down routine, protect your bedroom as a sleep sanctuary, shut down screens, journal, read the Word, and set out tomorrow’s cues so your decision is made before your feelings show up. We also cover wake-up motivation hacks, new-workout grit, and the daily rhythms that build a resilient soul—time in Scripture, prayer, worship, and practicing God’s presence beyond the quiet time. If your heart carries “goal fatigue,” this conversation aims to restore it. We normalize obstacles, celebrate the wins that did arrive, and share stories of long-delayed breakthroughs that finally bloomed. The message is steady and hopeful: set your will, make a plan, pray it through, and don’t quit. Faith needs a target; your goals can be that target. Subscribe for more faith-and-life tools, share this with someone setting new goals, and leave a review to help others find the show.

    Our Best Marriage Advice

    Send us a text What if the gap between tension and tenderness is smaller than you think? We revisit a candid conversation about the real work of marriage—how to share the load at home, protect each other’s energy, and bring intimacy back from the brink without losing yourself in the process. No gloss, no clichés, just two people telling the truth about weight, pace, and the everyday choices that keep love steady. We start by naming the unseen emotional labor many women carry and the unique pressures men face as leaders in the home. From there we map out how to move the division of labor toward center—evaluating quality of life, delegating, hiring help when needed, and choosing the family’s pace on purpose. We talk about why marriage is gritty, why public loyalty and private encouragement matter, and why comparing someone else’s highlight reel to your partner’s lowlight moments sabotages trust. Communication threads through everything: how to say what hurts without shaming, how to confess temptation before it confesses you, and how to replace blame with curiosity when stress or depression hits a home. Then we get practical with seven keys to revive a sexless marriage. We reclaim a healthy, faith-filled view of sex, build a rhythm of honest conversations, and offer simple habits with outsized payoff: going to bed at the same time, touching outside of sex, scheduling intimacy when needed, taking turns initiating, and celebrating small wins during medical or emotional valleys. The goal isn’t to perform; it’s to reconnect—body, mind, and spirit—so your home feels like a refuge again. If you’re ready to trade constant friction for calm partnership and real closeness, this conversation will meet you where you are and give you steps you can use tonight.

    The #1 Mistake Singles Make in Choosing a Partner

    Send us a text Dating with wisdom starts by turning your list into a mirror. We talk candidly about why so many singles overvalue appearance and chemistry, then feel blindsided after the wedding when character gaps show up at full volume. Attraction matters, but it won’t hold a marriage together. What does? Shared faith, proven integrity, and the humble skills that make peace during conflict. We break down five practical filters for choosing well: spiritual alignment rooted in a real walk with God, character you can verify not just imagine, respectful conflict that doesn’t turn doors into drums, inviting wise counsel into your relationship, and giving time the chance to reveal truth. Along the way, we challenge narrow “types” and cultural boxes that can blind you to a great match. Preference isn’t a problem until it becomes a prison. If you’ve ever felt stuck between being pressed to couple up or too guarded to try, we show you the healthy middle: content in God, open to love, and clear on standards. You’ll also hear why breakups can be protection, not proof you failed, plus four self-check questions to ask before saying yes. And we elevate the single season as sacred—an unmatched window to pursue purpose, deepen prayer, serve boldly, and become the kind of person your future spouse will thank you for. Whether you’re building a new list or revising an old one, this conversation helps you choose a partner you can stay in love with through highs, lows, and everything between. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs clarity in dating, and leave a review with the one green flag you now look for. Your story might be the nudge someone else needs today.

    3 Things to Do When You Feel Far From God

    Send us a text When your heart whispers “God feels far,” what if the real invitation is to come closer? We open up about seasons of pain, busyness, and spiritual immaturity and show how a felt distance doesn’t mean God has moved. From battling cancer to navigating marriage stress, we trace the path back to peace and explain a simple framework that helps you reconnect: return to His presence daily, repent and release what blocks intimacy, and reconnect with God’s people who can carry you when you feel weak. We dig into the three layers of God’s presence—omnipresent, indwelling, and manifested—and get practical about hosting His nearness in ordinary life. Think worship in the car, quiet walks without noise, and quick prayers before a meeting. You’ll hear why awareness is like tuning a piano, how focus and surrender shape sensitivity, and what it means to live from overflow so serving doesn’t become burnout. We talk about Moses’ hunger for God’s presence as the mark that sets His people apart and how friendship with God moves you beyond mere duty into delight. If you’ve wondered why your joy leaks or your peace feels thin, this conversation offers clear next steps and honest encouragement. You are hardwired for communion with your Maker; loneliness can become holy solitude when you acknowledge the Friend who never leaves. Lean in for simple practices, a faith-building prayer, and a renewed vision for carrying God’s presence into your home, work, and relationships. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more people close the gap with God.
