What if your marriage had a game plan as intentional as a championship team?

In this episode, Brad talks with George and Tondra Gregory, NFL chaplains and founders of Journey for Life, who have spent years walking with professional athletes, coaches, and couples who want to build marriages that reflect Christ. They share how serving NFL teams opened unexpected doors for ministry, how success can become either a platform or an idol, and why many husbands settle for “average” when God calls them to something far greater.

George and Tondra break down the key components of a winning “marriage game plan”: knowing you’re on the same team, identifying the opponents of your marriage, setting shared goals, creating rhythms of intentionality, and refusing to coast. They also challenge men specifically with a powerful question: Why would you want an average marriage when you serve the greatest of all time?

If you’ve ever drifted, settled, or assumed “we’re fine,” this conversation will push and inspire you.
