What does a godly marriage look like when both husband and wife have strong personalities, big ambitions, and different opinions?

In this episode of the Castleview Podcast, we sit down with Josh and Nicole Dole to talk about navigating marriage, raising children, running businesses, and keeping Christ at the center of it all.

As business owners and LifeGroup leaders, Josh and Nicole share practical wisdom on biblical submission, communication, working through disagreements, and building a marriage rooted in faith and mutual respect.

We also discuss why it's important for children to see their parents navigate conflict in healthy ways and what it looks like to pursue success while prioritizing your spouse and family.

Whether you're married, preparing for marriage, or looking to strengthen your relationships, this conversation is full of encouragement and biblical insight.

What do you do when you’ve prayed, waited, and trusted God, but the answer still hasn’t come?

In this episode of the Castleview Baptist Church Podcast, we talk about one of the most difficult parts of the Christian life: unanswered prayer. How should we respond when God seems silent? Does unanswered prayer mean God isn’t listening? And how can we continue trusting Him when things don’t turn out the way we hoped?

Join us as we look at what Scripture teaches about prayer, waiting on God, and trusting His plan even when we don’t understand it.
