    Adulting: Grown Up Truths For Family Life

    Family can be beautiful, messy, complicated, and sometimes downright hard. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it takes to build a healthy family in the middle of real-life challenges. Lennon and Christal share five practical, biblical principles for navigating family relationships: why every family faces spiritual opposition, why we need to let go of the pressure to have a perfect family, why parents have influence but not control, how your marriage sets the tone for your home, and why forgiveness and reconciliation are essential for families that go the distance. Whether you're raising young children, navigating the teenage years, relating to adult children, or dealing with difficult family relationships, this conversation will encourage you to stop striving for perfection and start making room for God's grace. Your family doesn't have to be perfect to be healthy. And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for the people you love isn't lecture them—it's pray for them, love them, forgive them, and trust God with what you can't control.

    20 Lessons Learned In 20 Years Of Marriage

    20 Things We’ve Learned in 20 Years of Marriage Twenty years of marriage has taught us a lot—and some of those lessons we definitely didn’t see coming! In this special anniversary episode, we’re celebrating 20 years of marriage by sharing 20 things we’ve learned along the way. Some are funny (like why we’re perfectly happy with our own sides of the bed!), while others are lessons we’ve learned through hard seasons, parenting, ministry, conflict, change, and simply growing older together. We talk about why arguments aren’t the end of the world, why date nights are a lifeline for romance, how to stop making things harder than they need to be, why it’s okay to be different from your spouse, and how important it is to trust each other’s strengths and gifts. We also get real about some of the things couples don’t always talk about—including aging, hormones, intimacy, parenting, forgiveness, prayer, encouragement, and learning when to let things go. And as we look toward the empty-nest years, we share why we’re actually excited about the years ahead—and why we believe a good marriage is always worth the work. Whether you’ve been married for two years or twenty, we hope this conversation encourages you to keep choosing each other, keep investing in your marriage, and remember that things can get better, love can grow deeper, and your marriage is worth fighting for. Come celebrate 20 years with us—and maybe laugh a little along the way!

    Is Your Phone Hurting Your Marriage?

    Is Your Phone Hurting Your Marriage? Your phone is always within reach—but is it coming between you and your spouse? In this episode of the Home and Marriage podcast, we’re talking about a modern marriage problem that almost all of us have experienced: phubbing—when your phone gets more of your attention than the person sitting right in front of you. We’ll talk honestly about how scrolling, texting, social media, work, and simply using our phones to “check out” can slowly replace meaningful conversations and connection with our spouse. We’ll also talk about the deeper issues that can be hiding behind excessive phone use, including stress, emotional disconnection, temptation, and the need to escape. Together, we’ll ask four important questions: Are you connecting with other people on your phone more than you connect with your spouse?Are meaningful conversations becoming less common?Is your phone becoming a doorway to temptation or secrecy?Are you becoming easily irritated when your family interrupts your screen time?But this episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about course correction. We’ll share practical ways to create phone-free moments, establish healthy boundaries, protect your marriage from temptation, and intentionally make room for real connection. Because your spouse shouldn’t have to compete with your phone for your attention. Your marriage is worth putting the phone down for.

    Fight FOR Your Marriage

    Marriage is worth fighting for—but there’s a difference between fighting with your spouse and fighting for your marriage. In this episode of Home and Marriage, Lennon and Christal explore what it means to pursue the marriage God designed, even when life gets difficult, disagreements pile up, and the love you once felt seems harder to find. A strong marriage doesn’t happen by accident. It requires faithfulness, intentionality, and a willingness to choose each other again and again. Drawing from Scripture and real-life marriage experiences, this episode explores three essential things every couple needs to fight for: Forgiveness: Learning to let go of offenses, address hurt in healthy ways, and extend the grace we’ve received from God.Romance: Protecting the connection, affection, and intimacy that make marriage more than simply sharing a home.Unity: Remembering that two have become one and choosing to pursue togetherness rather than allowing division to take over.Whether your marriage is thriving, feeling just “fine,” or going through a difficult season, there is hope for something better. God provides the grace and strength we need to grow, reconnect, and build a marriage that reflects His design. Your marriage is worth the effort. It’s worth the intentionality. And it’s worth the fight. Listen in and discover how you and your spouse can stop fighting against each other and start fighting for your marriage.

    Rest and Renewal: Why Couples Need a Rhythm of Rest

    Are you tired of being tired? In a culture that often treats busyness like a badge of honor, rest can feel unproductive, selfish, or even impossible. But what if rest isn't a reward you earn after getting everything done—it’s a rhythm God designed us to live by? In this episode of the Home and Marriage Podcast, we talk honestly about why so many of us struggle to rest and how constant busyness, being endlessly available, and even our phones can keep us from truly being refreshed. We’ll share three signs that you may be living a restless life and three practical ways to make rest a regular part of your life. We talk about: Why weekends and vacations can't fix a lifestyle of constant busynessHow being constantly available can rob you of rest and presenceWhy your phone and social media may not be as restful as you thinkHow to make rest a rhythm instead of a rewardThe difference between recreation and simply numbing yourselfWhy couples need hobbies, friendships, and intentional time to rechargeWhy biblical rest is more than just the absence of workHow the presence of God brings the kind of rest our souls truly needMost importantly, we’re reminded that rest is an act of trust. God doesn't need us to keep everything running. When we slow down, we acknowledge that He is God—and we are not. If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, constantly “on,” or struggling to enjoy the people and life God has given you, this episode is an encouragement to slow down, make space for rest, and invite God into the process. You don't have to earn your rest. You were created to receive it.

    Husband vs. Wife: A Couples Connection

    Husband vs. Wife: 10 Questions Every Couple Should Ask How well do you really know your spouse? In this fun and surprisingly vulnerable episode, Christal and Lennon put their 20-year marriage to the test with 10 Husband vs. Wife questions—without letting each other see their answers first! From the little things that drive each other crazy to what makes them feel most loved, they discover where they see things the same way… and where they definitely don’t! They talk about stress, conflict, date nights, personal growth, traveling together, giving each other space, and what they’ve learned through some of the hardest seasons of their marriage. But underneath the laughter and playful teasing is an important reminder: a healthy marriage requires continually getting to know your spouse, communicating well, staying on the same team, and choosing to invest in your relationship—even when life gets hard. They also share what helped them navigate difficult seasons, including the importance of prayer, staying connected romantically, and remembering that you and your spouse are partners—not enemies. And the final question leads to one of the most heartfelt moments of the episode as they share what they are more grateful for in each other today than when they first got married. Want to try it with your spouse? We’ve included all 10 questions in the show notes so you can listen together, answer them for yourselves, and see how well you really know each other!

    Two Are Better Than One: Why You Need Each Other

    What does it really mean that “two are better than one”? In this episode, we dive into Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 and explore the incredible gift of having a spouse beside you through the hard seasons of life. Marriage doesn't mean we will never struggle—it means we don't have to struggle alone. We talk about how couples can work together, lift one another up when one of them falls, and find strength simply through the steady presence of their spouse. Sometimes loving your spouse well means offering encouragement and perspective. Other times, it simply means sitting beside them, listening, and reminding them, “You're not alone in this. I'm in it with you.” We also talk honestly about seasons when one spouse has to carry more, learning to ask for help, being flexible when life changes, and taking turns being strong for one another. And ultimately, we look at the beautiful picture of the three-stranded cord—husband, wife, and Christ. Because there is a strength available to our marriage when we invite God into the relationship that we simply cannot create on our own. If you're going through a difficult season in your marriage, we hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to face it alone. Two are better than one, and with Christ at the center, your marriage can be stronger than either of you could be by yourselves.
