      • 60 | The Lie of Busyness in Christian Marriage: What God Taught Me About Biblical Time Management (ft. Lissa Figgans)

        Do you ever feel like no matter how much you plan, there’s never enough time? Like your to-do list keeps growing, but your quality time with your spouse keeps shrinking?

        Are you stewarding your marriage and time well? Or have you slipped into the enemy's trap of distraction and division? Listen to learn what God Taught Micaiah Gray and Lissa Figgans About Time, Productivity, Marriage, and the Lie of Busyness.

         

        In this powerful conversation, Lissa Figgins shares why “time management” isn’t working—and what God really wants us to do instead. As a recovering busy-ness owner, Lissa helps Christian women stop trying to control time and start partnering with the One who created it.

        She’ll show you how to shift from managing your time to stewarding it, how to stop living in hurry-mode, and how one simple question—“What is it time for?”—can change everything about the way you show up for your marriage, your kids, and your calling.

        If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, constantly behind, or guilty for not doing enough, this episode will help you breathe again. You’ll walk away with a heart reset and a whole new way to look at your days.

        About Lissa Figgins:

        Lissa Figgins is a recovering BUSY-ness owner who UN-hurried her heart, finally letting go of her addiction to controlling time, multitasking, and always doing. Now her mission as a Scaling Strategist is helping busy Christian women business owners scale their revenue (+ results).  Instead of just managing time, she teaches how to multiply the 24 hours you are entrusted each day so that time is no longer your biggest obstacle, but your greatest opportunity for growth!

        Lissa loves walking & talking, traveling & planning, reading & leading…plus lots of dark coffee + dark chocolate.

        And most importantly, she speaks the truth that: YOU. HAVE. TIME.

                    Did you grow up hearing “sex is dirty” only to get married and wonder why you still feel shame in the bedroom?

                    In today’s episode, Micaiah sits down with Michelle Castro—wife, mom of three, and host of the Rip It Off podcast—for a real, Spirit-led talk about God’s design for intimacy in marriage. If you’ve ever struggled to feel comfortable with sex or wondered how to talk to your husband about what you actually enjoy, this conversation will set you free.

                    Michelle shares her journey from religious confusion to revelation—how the Lord rewired her thoughts, healed old shame, and invited her to experience intimacy the way He intended: holy, wholehearted, and yes… joyful.

                    We’ll talk about how to:
                    Break free from shame and lies around sex.
                    Communicate with your husband without fear or awkwardness.
                    Invite God into your intimacy (and why that’s not weird!)
                    Understand pleasure as part of God’s good design.
                    Take action when prayer alone isn’t enough.
                     
                    You’ll walk away encouraged, equipped, and reminded that your marriage bed was God’s idea—and He calls it good.

                      If you’ve ever whispered, “Why won’t he just talk to me?”—this episode will show you a path toward healing a broken marriage and rebuilding trust, intimacy, and understanding.

                          • 52 | The Hidden Marriage Battle You’re Probably Losing (Understanding Spiritual Warfare, Anxiety, and God’s Design for Healthy Relationships)

                            Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, your marriage just isn’t changing? What if the real battle isn’t between you and your husband—but a spiritual one?


                            In this episode, Micaiah unpacks the hidden reason so many Christian marriages struggle: spiritual warfare and spiritual starvation. Through her own marriage restoration testimony and Bible scriptures on marriage, she shows you how to fight for your marriage God’s way. You’ll discover how marriage as a covenant changes everything, what biblical healing looks like, and simple, powerful steps you can take to save your marriage through prayer, fasting, and the Word. If you’ve been searching for a Bible verse to save your marriage or asking, “How do I save my marriage?”—this episode is for you.
