August 29, 2018 10 Fun Questions to Ask Your Spouse on Date Night
Del Taco, a screaming-band past, a three-hour massage, and the hardest lesson of being a wife. Steal these.
About This Episode
We heard each of our questions for the first time while recording so our responses would be genuine and off the cuff. It turned into a fun and surprisingly meaningful conversation. We laugh about favorite fast food, dessert, what we would do with three free hours, and Aaron's days singing in a metal band. Then we go deeper, talking about how we envision our family in ten years, what we would tell our 18-year-old selves, the hardest lesson Jennifer has learned as a wife, and the one piece of advice Aaron would give husbands who want to lead their wives better. We share all ten questions below so you can use them on your next date night.

August 22, 2018 What It's Like Being A Part of a Home Church
From megachurches to about 10 families in a living room: elders, a cappella hymns, and phones left in the car.
About This Episode
We grew up in what many would call megachurches, and today we are part of a small home church with about ten families. In this episode we share our first-hand experience of what it is really like. We talk about how our church is structured with elders and leadership, what a gathering looks like with kids staying alongside their parents, how that pushed us to be intentional about training our children, singing hymns a cappella, how teaching is shared among the men with elders guarding sound doctrine, and the long potluck fellowship that fills our Sundays. Whatever your church looks like, we hope this reminds you that the church is the people you gather with.

Structure — How elders and leadership work in a house church setting.
Kids in the room — Why children stay with their parents and how that shaped our training at home.

August 15, 2018 We Had A Sexless Marriage: Our Personal Story Of How God Saved Our Marriage
Married as virgins, we couldn't consummate our marriage for over four years. How God met us and what changed.
About This Episode
In this episode we share our personal struggle with physical intimacy in the first four and a half years of our marriage. We thought we had done everything right by saving ourselves for marriage and believed God owed us a healthy sex life, but painful intercourse meant we couldn't consummate our marriage. We talk honestly about broken expectations, the sexual sin we each brought into marriage, the doctor visits, the bitterness, and how prayer kept us going. Then we share the turning point, when God reminded Aaron of Jesus in Gethsemane, and the surprising discovery that changed everything for us physically. Listen and see how God used this trial to draw us closer to Himself and to each other.

High, uncommunicated, and wrong expectations: three ways working together goes sideways, and a threefold cord.
About This Episode
Whether you and your spouse work together in business, parenting, DIY house projects, or any other way, this episode is for you. Working with your spouse has its challenges and moments of joy. We have worked together through missions, jobs, a photography business, and ministry, and we share what has worked for us and remind you why the process matters. We talk about how expectations can impact a working marriage, how to stay on the same team, and how to take advantage of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

July 25, 2018 How to Live with an Unbelieving Spouse
Four biblical steps for the believer married to a spouse who doesn't know or obey God
About This Episode
Being unequally yoked means one spouse is walking in obedience to God and the other is not, and it can amplify every other struggle in a marriage. Prompted by a listener's question, Aaron and Jennifer speak to husbands and wives married to a non-believer, or to a spouse who claims to be a Christian but doesn't obey God's Word. The most important thing in that marriage is salvation, and the desire to see your spouse come to know and love God matters more than happily ever after. They walk through four biblical steps and encourage the believing spouse that there is hope, and it starts with the one who knows God.

Get God's perspective — He wants your holiness over your mere happiness and loves your spouse more than you do
See your spouse rightly — a brother or sister who needs salvation
Don't leave — why 1 Corinthians 7:12-16 says the unbelieving spouse can be won
Pray for them and for yourself — only God changes hearts, so ask for their salvation and your own endurance and peace
Be an example — how 1 Peter 3:1-2 describes a spouse won without a word by pure conduct
The Case for Christ — the Lee Strobel story they share as encouragement
Your first ministry — why the believing spouse's marriage is where ministry begins

July 17, 2018 What To Do After a Fight
Why fights should be rare for Christian couples, and biblical steps to reconcile when one happens
About This Episode
Fights are more common in Christian marriages than they should be. Prompted by a listener's question, and honest that they had just had a hard conversation of their own before hitting record, Aaron and Jennifer explain why fighting should be a rare occurrence for a husband and wife walking in the Spirit. When a fight does break out, the goal is reconciliation, unity, and oneness. They walk through the biblical steps that help them get there: remembering who you are in Christ, pursuing reconciliation instead of winning, not letting the sun go down on anger, confessing and praying together out loud, letting go of the record of wrongs, and even holding hands to reconnect.

In This Episode
Why fighting should be rare — walking in the Spirit makes a fight nearly impossible
Live as a new creation — putting off anger and putting on love from Colossians 3 and Ephesians 4
Ambassadors of reconciliation — what 2 Corinthians 5 means for a husband and wife after conflict
Don't let the sun go down on your anger — pausing a conversation while still reconciling the relationship
Confess and pray together — praying out loud with each other, as James 5:16 describes
No record of wrongs — letting 1 Corinthians 13 love shape how you move forward
Physical touch — holding hands to reconnect the physical to the spiritual

July 11, 2018 How to Stop Bickering with Your Spouse
We jokingly teach bickering tactics, then open Scripture on why couples bicker and how to stop
About This Episode
At the start of this episode, Aaron and Jennifer share their favorite tips on how to bicker with your spouse. Of course, they're playing. The real intention is to identify why married couples bicker and to help you learn how to stop in a biblical way. They confess they used to bicker all the time, share the car ride when a friend asked Aaron if he realized how he was talking to his wife, and explain how their kids now act as little alarms around the house. From James 4, Galatians 5, and the words of Jesus in Luke 6, they show that bickering comes from the flesh and from what is stored up in the heart, and that it's really a devouring of one another.

Why we bicker — James 4 and the passions at war within us
Bickering is devouring — Galatians 5 and walking in the flesh versus walking in the Spirit
Called out by a friend — the car ride that showed Aaron how he was talking to his wife
Kids as alarms — why repenting to your children matters when they hear you bicker
Quick to hear, slow to speak — James 1:19 and really listening instead of waiting to respond
A soft answer — Proverbs 15:1 and Proverbs 17:14 on stopping strife before it bursts
The heart behind the words — Luke 6:45 and asking God to reveal and change the root
