    On what do you rest this trust of yours? + A Special Announcement

    Topic: The Power of Words Illustrated in Biblical Narratives
    Continuing our series on the power of words, we explore specific Bible stories that emphasize the significance of language in shaping destinies. We examine the story of Hezekiah and the Assyrian threat, focusing on how words were used to challenge his faith.
    The Assyrian messenger attempts to undermine Hezekiah's trust in God through persuasive words, questioning his reliance on divine intervention. We discuss the parallels with modern challenges to believers' faith and the tactics used to instill doubt.
    Eliakim, Shebnah, and Joah's response to the messenger showcases the importance of protecting ourselves and our loved ones from discouraging influences. We draw insights on safeguarding against fear and doubt.
    Despite the pressure to heed the Assyrian king's words, Hezekiah turns to Isaiah for reassurance, exemplifying the need to seek truth amidst deception. We relate this to personal struggles with faith and the importance of anchoring ourselves in God's promises.
    Transitioning to the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we discuss their unwavering faith in God, even in the face of death. The recurring theme of "Even if" underscores the essence of trusting God amidst adversity.

    This truth can change the course of your life

    This truth can change the course of your life

    In this episode, we discuss an important truth - the words we choose to receive and believe directly impact and direct the course of our lives. We see in Proverbs that wisdom and understanding come from knowing and accepting words of insight. Like Jesus' parable of seeds and soil, words only take root and have power in us when we fully receive and believe them.
    We share examples of how believing certain words led to accomplishing dreams like getting out of debt and writing our book, Marriage After God. The enemy also knows that lies believed lead to deception and destruction. That's why we must be careful about the repeated messages we internalize from the world and own thinking.
    God provides abundant life-giving words and wisdom freely to those who ask. We present Scriptures on walking in blessing versus falling into worldly patterns. What words are shaping your beliefs, perception, and direction? Let God's Word and truth set you firmly on the path of life!
    Main Topics:
    Wisdom comes from receiving wordsBelieving words leads to accomplishing dreamsLies believed destroy livesGod freely gives wisdom if we askChoosing which words direct our path

    Are words spirit? And what does it mean if they are?

    Are words spirit? And what does it mean if they are?

    In this episode, we explore an incredible but overlooked truth - words are spiritual things! Just as God spoke the world into existence, what we say also carries spiritual power and implications.
    We look at 1 John 4 on "testing the spirits" and see this refers to assessing the words and messages people speak to determine their origin - from God or not. Jesus calls His own words "spirit and life." But does the Bible give us any other scripture to show us how words are spirit?
    Understanding words are spiritual means we recognize the responsibility we have in what we speak and what or who we listen to.
    Topics:
    God created the world with wordsTest messages to see if they're from GodJesus calls His words "spirit and life"Our words represent what we believeWe'll be judged for what we sayWe can speak life like GodConnect:

    Words Build & Shape: If We Have The Same Words In Marriage, We Can Accomplish Anything

    Words Build & Shape: If We Have The Same Words In Marriage, We Can Accomplish Anything

    In this episode, we explore the incredible power words have to our world and our marriage, tracing this truth back to the creation story. Just as God spoke the world into being, the enemy tempted and deceived using words. We see through stories like the Tower of Babel how unified language and common words allowed people to accomplish anything. And how having the same words in our marriage can allow us to accomplish anything in our marriages.
    The printing press revolution spread ideas widely and the Bible was translated into common tongues. Shared words and meanings are key for communication and progress. Today, definitions are shifting as words are redefined contrary to their original intent, causing breakdown in society.
    Whose words are we listening to and repeating? Do toxic words from the world and the enemy fill our minds? Or are we saturating our hearts with God's living, life-giving words? What we continually speak and believe directs our perception, relationships and future. Next we'll explore how words impact more than our marriages, they affect everything!Main Topics:
    God created through wordsSatan tempts through wordsPower of united words and meaningsPrinting press spread ideas and common BibleWords shape how we perceive the worldToxic words vs God's life-giving wordsWhat we believe directs our lives

    We're Back! The power of Words, the loss of my Brother, and whats to come.

    We're Back! The power of Words, the loss of my Brother, and whats to come.

    In this episode, we share that we are bringing back video to our podcast! We started out years ago with video but took a break to focus just on audio. Now we're excited to add in some visual elements again.
    We recap what the start of 2024 has held- grieving my brother's passing, celebrating Jennifer's birthday and our 17th anniversary, and dealing with pipes freezing in our home. It's been an eventful and emotionally challenging start to the year.
    We then introduce our new 8-week series on the power of words in marriage and life. Recent experiences with grief and observing our kids' speech has reminded us how profoundly impactful the words we speak and believe are. From Genesis to John, the Bible is full of examples of how words create, encourage, transform and heal. We want to study Scripture on the tongue and learn to steward our words well.

Huge blessing

Has greatly helped our marriage and has helped me not be such a knucklehead husband. Putting God first isn’t always easy but focusing on him makes the rest of our house work. Thanks!

Encouraging Your Marriage, Rooted in Scripture

I first discovered Aaron and Jennifer Smith and Marriage After God about six years ago. I was going through something in marriage that I felt so alone in and didn’t think anyone else understood the physical and emotional pain it caused. Then I came across Jennifer’s book, Unveiled Wife, and it was such an encouragement to me because it not only showed me that someone else understands what I was going through, but it gave me hope for our circumstances, and was a reminder to me on how God is good through it all. I love when He uses people and books, or podcasts, as a tool of comfort and to meet you where you’re at and remind you you’re not alone. Since then I have read all of their books and thoroughly enjoy their podcasts. It is a great resource if you are truly desiring to have a Marriage after God. They not only give practical tips and resources, but their vulnerability to share not even not just the joys of marriage, but the challenges too, rooted in biblical teachings, is really encouraging and their intentionality and love for the Lord, each other, and for others shines through.
