                  • Bonus | Being Unequally Yoked in Marriage: Navigating Faith, Conflict, and Connection (ft. Britton George)

                    When the Picture-Perfect Marriage Isn’t Your Story With Special Guest Britton George. What if my marriage is a little untraditional? In this episode, we discuss second marriages, unequally yoked, how anxiety and depression play a part in this, and the realities of a blended family.


                    Marriage is already a journey, but what happens when you're navigating a second marriage, a blended family, or differences in faith? These challenges can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to divide you.

                    In this bonus episode, I sit down with Britton George for an honest conversation about what it’s like to rebuild after brokenness and follow God through an unequally yoked marriage. We talk about getting married young, healing after divorce, navigating trauma in your relationship, and learning how to show up in a marriage where you’re not equally yoked spiritually.

                    Britton shares what it’s been like blending a family, surrendering the image of a “perfect Christian marriage,” and trusting God’s timing—even when it’s not what you expected. If you’ve ever felt like your story doesn’t fit the mold, this one’s for you.

                    Here's what you'll learn:

                    ✅ What it means to be unequally yoked—and how to handle it

                    ✅ Why your spouse might shut down—and what it really means

                    ✅ How past wounds and experiences shape the way you show up in marriage

                    ✅ The key to navigating emotional withdrawal and differences in communication

                    ✅ How to trust God with the marriage you have, not just the one you imagined

                     

                    🎧 Tune in now for biblical encouragement and practical strategies to strengthen your marriage, no matter where you're starting from!

                  • 25 | Healing A Broken Marriage: What Actually Works (And What Doesn't)

                    How to fix a broken marriage?

                    Imagine waking up and finally feeling safe, seen, and supported in your marriage. No walking on eggshells. No more wondering if it’s even worth the fight. Just peace, connection, and knowing you're in this together. Sounds far off? It’s not. In this episode, we’re diving deep into what actually works when your marriage feels broken—and what doesn’t.

                    If you’ve ever thought:

                    • “Is it even possible to fix this?”

                    • “I’m the only one trying…”

                    • “We’re just too different.”

                    • “He’ll never change.”

                    • “I don’t even know if I care anymore…”

                      You’re not alone—and you are NOT without hope. Today we’re talking through those thoughts, how to reframe them, and how the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2) can transform your entire relationship from the inside out.

                      🎧 Hit play to learn:

                      • What you might be doing that’s pushing your spouse away (without realizing it)

                      • Why “waiting for them to change” doesn’t work—and what to do instead

                      • The role of spiritual warfare in your marriage (and how to fight the right enemy)

                      • Simple, doable shifts that make a BIG difference (like one daily habit that builds connection)

                      • How God can restore what feels beyond repair

                        🙌🏽 This episode is packed with truth, hope, and practical help—whether your spouse is on board or not. You don’t have to stay stuck. Healing is possible. And it starts with the way you think.

                      Are you on an emotional healing journey with God?

                      Do you feel like no matter how hard you try to make things perfect, you never feel like you do enough… or are enough?

                      Do you find the pain or loss of your past still affecting you and your relationships today?
