👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This post BLEW UP! A couple weeks ago, we made a post on IG about prioritizing your spouse over every other relationship.... including your kids. Aaaaand it got some pushback. 

In this episode, we unpack the tension around prioritizing your spouse and bring clarity to what “putting your marriage first” actually means (hint: it’s not about neglecting your kids). If you’ve ever felt like your spouse gets the leftovers or you’re stuck in survival mode, this is your reset moment.

👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏽 Submission is a hot topic because it's often misinterpreted, ignored, or distorted. In this conversation with Cornelius J. Williams, we unpack a fresh, thought-provoking framework: what it really looks like to surrender your mind, will, and pride to God and each other in marriage.

Let's get honest about the messy middle where faith meets everyday decisions. If you’ve ever wrestled with roles, authority, or how to stay unified when you disagree, this one will challenge and ground you in a deeper, more beautiful vision of partnership.

😰 When your body sounds the alarm, you feel out of control, and you can't even identify what triggered it, you may be having a panic attack.

In this episode, we’re unpacking panic attacks -- what they are (and aren’t), why they can feel so intense and out of nowhere, and how fear can quietly fuel the cycle.

You’ll hear Karissa's personal story, learn how panic connects to your mind, body, and spirit, and walk away with practical tools to steady yourself (or your spouse) in the moment.
