🚨 Are you operating with old strategies in a new season? 🚨

If you don’t learn the protocols of your next level before you get there, the very thing meant to bless you could become the thing that crushes you. Many marriages struggle not because of a lack of love, but because of a failure to adapt to the new challenges, responsibilities, and blessings that come with growth.

In this episode of Needed Conversations, we (Ryan & Viktoriya Cole) are talking about New Rules for a New Season in Marriage—how to recognize when it’s time to shift, redefine what “winning” looks like in your marriage, and upgrade your strategy so you can fully step into what God has for you.🔥

Consider the season of your marriage that you're in—what worked before may not work now, and that’s okay! But if you don’t recognize the shift, resist change, or fail to prepare for what’s ahead, you’ll find yourself frustrated, disconnected, and stuck.

Today's episode of Needed Conversations takes a heartfelt look at the subtle ways fear infiltrates our lives and relationships, particularly in marriage. We delve into how fears, often stemming from childhood experiences, shape our interactions and responses in adult life.

Fear isn't always dramatic; it doesn't have to be the boogeyman or a sinister figure with red horns. More often, it's the quiet anxiety over rejection, the fear of not being enough, or the dread of failure that lurks in our day-to-day lives. We also explore the biblical perspective on fear, emphasizing how scripture and our relationship with Christ can help us address and overcome these deep-seated fears.

Join us as we unpack how these fears can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies within our marriages, creating barriers to love and understanding. Through personal stories and biblical insights, we discuss how identifying and confronting these fears with the help of our spouses and God's word can transform our lives and relationships.
