Fierce Marriage

Seeds and roots of bitterness start subtly. However, we must be aware and wise to identify them and uproot them before they get out of control. In this episode, we talked about the true root of bitterness (it may not be what you think) and how standing in awe of God is the only true way to uproot it.

Sometimes the reasons marriage is challenging is because of a lie we're believing on some level. For example, we sometimes believe it's our primary job to change one another. In other cases, we wonder if we married the wrong person, or we expect our spouse to "complete" us.

In this episode, we discussed common lies we believe in marriage and talked about how to dispel them. Enjoy!

Approaching the Bible can be intimidating. We can easily feel overwhelmed or under-equipped. However, reading God's Word is easily one of, if not THE, most important things you can do as a couple. With that said, take heart! God is faithful to make His word accessible to all who approach it willingly.

In today's episode, Ryan and Selena talked about how to overcome fears, what the Bible actually is (the canon, etc), methods for reading the Bible, and how to read Scripture together. Enjoy!

Being in a blended family is as complex as it is challenging. The good news is that you aren't without hope in the Gospel and help from others who care! In today's special interview episode, we had the incredible joy of speaking with Mike and Kim Anderson, the proverbial "experts" on blended families.

Mike & Kim have been supporting stepfamilies since 2001. Their marriage formed a stepfamily and Mike grew up in challenging stepfamily dynamics.

A marriage on mission fulfills the Great Commission in ways specific to how God designed the relationship to flourish and function. A couple "on mission" does this with unity, joy, and gospel-fueled excitement.

In today's episode, we discussed how to live as a "marriage on mission" by looking at the underlying biblical mandates for us as Christians first, then as a married couple.

In today's episode, we answer listener questions. Some on the lighter side, some tough, all honest.

We answered questions about how to grow in intimacy, how to deal with a spouse who wants an abortion, headship and submission, and others.

Note: we're not counselors or therapists. Seek professional help if you need it. Our answers shouldn't be construed as professional advice, and given the medium, please give grace on the nuances of each topic covered (there were many, and a few are very complex in nature). Nothing here should replace godly, Bible-based counsel or Christian community rooted in the gospel.
