    Joy in Marriage :: [Ep. 277]

    Joy in Marriage :: [Ep. 277] Joy in marriage isn't just for personal happiness but serves as a powerful testimony for Christ, showing others the benefits of following God. When couples follow God's design, their relationship becomes a living demonstration of God's undeserved love to a world that desperately needs to see it. In this week's episode, we are covering the following: • Why marriage is often reduced to roommates working through tasks rather than experiencing God's joy • Christians frequently portray following God as difficult with little joy, making faith unattractive to others • Learning from King Solomon who warns against worldly pursuits and encourages rejoicing in your spouse • How Biblical marriage provides tangible language to explain Christ's love for the church • Redemption in marriage isn't dismantling God's created order but recovering it We hope as you listen, you are encouraged and blessed!

    The False Promise of Happily Ever After :: [Ep. 272]

    The False Promise of Happily Ever After :: [Ep. 272] Join us this week as we debunk the entitlement myth that pervades modern marriages. We are challenging couples to reevaluate their lives through the lens of God's purpose rather than personal paradise. We will explore how cultural expectations and fairytale narratives create dangerous assumptions about what marriage should provide. We will be talking about the following: • Marriage wasn't designed to be perfect—it was designed to be purposeful • God created marriage for dual purposes • The pursuit of earthly paradise leads to disappointment and destructive behaviors • Nothing on earth was meant to be permanent or fully satisfying • Shifting our expectations from spouse-centered to God-centered • Action steps needed to move forward in the right direction We hope you are helped and encouraged!

    Becoming Your Spouse's Biggest Supporter :: [Ep. 271]

    Becoming Your Spouse's Biggest Supporter :: [Ep. 271] This week we explore how marriages deteriorate when the "we" transitions into "me, my, and I" as couples pursue individual interests rather than championing each other. We will talk about the following: • Couples often forget God's main purpose for marriage and prepare themselves for marital defeat • We often champion our children's interests without hesitation but fail to do the same for our spouse • Practical ways to champion your spouse include being shoulder-to-shoulder in their interests • Giving your spouse margin to pursue their goals shows you value what matters to them • The consequences that arise when spouses don't champion each other • The gap in marriage grows wider when couples don't support each other's God-given missions • Our selfish agendas often prevent us from championing our spouse's interests We hope you will be encouraged and helped in being your spouse's champion!

    How to Revitalize Your Marriage :: [Ep. 270]

    How to Revitalize Your Marriage :: [Ep. 270] In this week's episode we are exploring the concept of powerful pursuit in marriage, moving beyond the roommate mode to intentionally chasing after our spouse's heart with Christ-like love and passion. We will be hitting the following: • Breaking out of the "roommate mode" that many couples fall into during challenging seasons • Shifting from being critical observers to becoming rescuers in our marriage relationship • Understanding that true pursuit must be motivated by Christ's example of relentless love • Recognizing that God uses us as tools in our spouse's life to display His pursuit of them • Identifying where and when our spouse needs us to pursue them most effectively • Confronting self-focus and fear as primary obstacles to powerful pursuit • Embracing obstacles as opportunities to demonstrate commitment rather than excuses to give up   We hope you will join us and be encouraged and helped in better loving your spouse!  Support the show For episode transcripts, click HERE.
