The Simple Mission Podcast David & Lianna Bond

This is episode #2 of how to have a thriving marriage series - let's get right to it! But, first, let's start out with a question...What foundation is your marriage founded on?



Is it God, the world & the culture, or selfishness…truly think on this. If it is not founded on God, then anything that we say or do to “improve” our marriage will not work because it is based on selfishness or following your own heart.



But the truth is that in God's world, everything is flipped upside down. Here's a plot twist for you: marriage is not for ourselves. Rather than serving ourselves and our desires, we are to serve one another, like Christ! We each have a God-designed role in marriage: the husband and the wife. Ephesians 5:22-33 covers all the roles for both husbands and wives.



The wife is to submit to her husband who represents Christ and the husband is to love his wife, like Christ loves the church. We cover everything on submission, the exceptions to submission, respect, treating each other as equals, and loving one another in this episode for our thriving marriage series!



We did a very deep study on Ephesians 5:22-33 on the blog so if you are interested in more, head to the blog post here!

If you are married, we should be enjoying our spouse to the fullest! But, we know that marriages are not perfect, but if both you and your spouse have dedicated your marriage to God and have set Him as your foundation over your lives, then there’s nothing that He cannot do for you, especially within your marriage. Let's go over what God says on how to have a thriving marriage, not just a surviving marriage!



We are so excited to share that all of the 7 points we are sharing today will each be its own podcast episode! How To Have a Thriving Marriage will be a series on the podcast for the next few episodes. So, if one or two or really ALL of the points really piques your interest, we will be covering it more deeper in the series!

We are so excited for this episode! This is not just a topic we are passionate about but living the lifestyle of Jesus is something we strive to do daily. Even though we aren't perfect, we share what we've learned on how to live like Jesus and the 3 ways to approach this is just a starting place. If Jesus was with us right now, how would he live in today's current day and age? More often than not, Jesus chose to do life differently and knew where His true identity and worth was in: in His Father alone.



This episode covers setting boundaries, choosing silence than the noise, hearing God's voice, the difference between gratitude and discontentment, & slowing down for the sake of the Gospel. We hope you enjoy this episode & God bless!



 



Bible verses mentioned:



Psalm 119:36-37, “Cause my heart to bow before your words of wisdom and not to the wealth of this world. Help me turn my eyes away from illusions so that I pursue only that which is true; drench my soul with life as I walk in your paths.”



Luke 10:37, "But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion.”

We are back after a 9-month hiatus! We have good reason though...we found out we are pregnant and life has changed so much since then. We share updates on our pregnancy so far, when baby is due, our 3-year journey of getting pregnant, & our thoughts on becoming parents.



Also, since it is July, it's about the mid-point of the year so let's check in-- how has your 2023 been going so far? We've already passed the 200 days mark of 2023! Time is literally flying by. We know that sometimes it is time to evaluate, pray, and surrender certain areas of your life over to God. We share our thoughts on what we are surrendering, changing, and how we will be slowing down and taking Sabbaths, especially being inspired by a book we read together, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer.

Today is Halloween Day and we are sharing our thoughts on celebrating Halloween as believers. We share on how we grew up with Halloween, the history behind Halloween, and what we do now according to our personal conviction with the Lord. We bring up scary topics like witchcraft, spiritual realm, and our culture's embrace of darkness. We just want you to be aware of who you allow to influence you because that is who you will become.



We also bring up why this midterm election is so paramount as Americans and the importance of voting to share your voice, values, and beliefs. Honestly, we get a bit heated in the end - possibly giving a rant over why we have it so good here in America. Election Day is on Tuesday, November 8th, but check for early voting where you live.

When you think of real estate investing, do you often think of people like Donald Trump? You might be surprised that ANYONE can start investing in real estate, if they have a plan and have a small amount of savings. This is the episode where we finally share about our investment in real estate even though we are nervous to do so.



Going into real estate investing is a lifestyle that one of us wrestled with. They thought only people like Donald Trump bought and sold real estate to make millions, and it was a greedy practice to always be searching for the next property to flip and lease out.



But, the Bible does say a few things on investing that we share more in this episode. For the rest of the episode, we explain the real estate trends, our experience with flipping and leasing out a house, and all the major tips on before, during, and after buying a property. ALL of these tips are all important things and lessons that we have learned in the last 5 years of real estate investing, so don't miss out on these tips!
