Marriage Unfiltered

This felt a little like a venting session about how difficult parenting can be, but turns out we have a lot to learn from the challenges our kids face too. We have to experience the refining process to really learn and change. If our motives are to just make some surface change or behavior modification, lasting change doesn't really occur.

What happens when we just try to do things on our own or our way? Sometimes God allows us to face a challenge to get us to slow down and rely on Him.

We are clearly not theologians. Listen in as we debate what Jesus did and didn't do out of anger, what type of anger is okay and when is anger a sin. We also debate how some types of worship can make us uncomfortable and the negatives about social media. Please let us know if you have comments about this debate.

Scriptures referenced: 

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that."Luke 6:32-33, "

In your anger do not sin." Ephesians. 4:26

Eric and Teresa Villanueva have been married 22 years, but they almost called it 3 years ago. Their story of hope and restoration is one that will inspire any marriage that feels like there is no hope.

Eric joined us before on the "bro-cast" aka "Unfiltered Warrior" episode 22

Books mentioned on this episode: "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge, "Captivating" by Stasi and John Eldredge, "The Power of a Praying Wife" and "Power of a Praying Husband" by Stormie OMartian

The verse Alissa was trying to think of is Hebrews 11:6 “It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. . . ”

Why do we turn to control? Listen this week as Lisa and Alissa break down where the desire to turn to control comes from. Then where they have learned to go when they are being controlled by the lie of control.

"Fallen Eve" is taken from the book "Captivating" by Stasi Elderedge

Thank you to Paul Tripp Ministries for this list of what Love is according to what Christ asks of us. We hope you will be challenged and inspired.

1. Love is being willing to have your life complicated by the needs and struggles of your husband or wife without impatience or anger.

2. Love is actively fighting the temptation to be critical and judgmental toward your spouse, while looking for ways to encourage and praise.

3. Love is the daily commitment to resist the needless moments of conflict that come from pointing out and responding to minor offenses.

4. Love is being lovingly honest and humbly approachable in times of misunderstanding, and being more committed to unity and love than you are to winning, accusing, or being right.

5. Love is a daily commitment to admit your sin, weakness, and failure and to resist the temptation to offer an excuse or shift the blame.

6. Love means being willing, when confronted by your spouse, to examine your heart rather than rising to your defense or shifting the focus.

7. Love is a daily commitment to grow in love so that the love you offer to your husband or wife is increasingly selfless, mature, and patient.

8. Love is being unwilling to do what is wrong when you have been wronged but to look for concrete and specific ways to overcome evil with good.

9. Love is being a good student of your spouse, looking for his physical, emotional, and spiritual needs so that in some way you can remove the burden, support him as he carries it, or encourage him along the way.

10. Love means being willing to invest the time necessary to discuss, examine, and understand the problems that you face as a couple, staying on task until the problem is removed or you have agreed upon a strategy of response.

11. Love is always being willing to ask for forgiveness and always being committed to grant forgiveness when it is requested.

12. Love is recognizing the high value of trust in a marriage and being faithful to your promises and true to your word.

13. Love is speaking kindly and gently, even in moments of disagreement, refusing to attack your spouse’s character or assault his or her intelligence.

14. Love is being unwilling to flatter, lie, manipulate, or deceive in any way in order to co-opt your spouse into giving you what you want or doing something your way. (continued on next page)

15. Love is being unwilling to ask your spouse to be the source of your identity, meaning and purpose, or inner sense of well-being, while refusing to be the source of his or hers.

16. Love is the willingness to have less free time, less sleep, and a busier schedule in order to be faithful to what God has called you to be and to do as a husband or a wife.

17. Love is a commitment to say no to selfish instincts and to do everything that is within your ability to promote real unity, functional understanding, and active love in your marriage.

18. Love is staying faithful to your commitment to treat your spouse with appreciation, respect, and grace, even in moments when he or she doesn’t seem to deserve it or is unwilling to reciprocate.

19. Love is the willingness to make regular and costly sacrifices for the sake of your marriage without asking anything in return or using your sacrifices to place your spouse in your debt.

20. Love is being unwilling to make any personal decision or choice that would harm your marriage, hurt your husband or wife, or weaken the bond of trust between you.

21. Love is refusing to be self-focused or demanding but instead looking for specific ways to serve, support, and encourage, even when you are busy or tired.

22. Love is daily admitting to yourself, your spouse, and God that you are not able to love this way without God’s protecting, providing, forgiving, rescuing, and delivering grace.
