✨ Welcome to Deserts & Gardens Podcast! ✨In this episode, "Knowing Your Real Enemy, Your True Source, and Your Companion," we’re breaking down three crucial truths that can transform your marriage and faith journey:🔥 In this episode, we cover:⚔️ The real enemy isn't your spouse—it’s the adversary (Ephesians 6:12).🙏🏽 Your true source is God, not your partner or circumstances (Philippians 4:19).💑 Your spouse is your companion, not your opponent (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).When tensions rise, it’s easy to misplace blame or look to the wrong source for fulfillment. But recognizing these biblical truths can shift your mindset, strengthen your marriage, and bring more peace into your home.📖 Key Scriptures:📖 Ephesians 6:12 – "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."📖 Philippians 4:19 – "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."📖 Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 – "Two are better than one... If either of them falls down, one can help the other up."📚 Recommended Resources:📖 Books on Spiritual Growth & Marriage:📌 Boundaries in Marriage by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend → https://www.amazon.com/shop/miaashmen/list/26ECAHQ638ZHA?ref_=aipsflist📌 His Needs, Her Needs: How to Build an Affair-Proof Marriage by Willard F.
