This week’s episode is on humility, which is the opposite of pride – and a really difficult thing to pursue in ANY relationship. Too often our focus in marriage is more on what we can get for ourselves rather than how we can serve our spouse. Ryan’s lesson really focusses in on the opportunities we have to be “little pictures of Jesus” to each other in marriage. That sounds sweet, but it’s really hard to do! So let’s listen and learn.

Too many couples have a warped view of God’s love and think that they have to somehow earn His favor. It’s exhausting and impossible to then apply that works-based thinking to our marriages. “I’ll respect him when he finally [whatever],” or “I’m going to x-y-z so he’ll love me.” That’s not actually how God functions, so why are we constantly doing this in our relationships? We really need to understand God’s grace in order to extend it to our spouse. Let’s listen to Ryan’s supplemental teaching on how we should start thinking about extending God’s grace to others!

Brokenness is a difficult reality to admit in your life and marriage. It's hugely impactful when you can recognize that both you and your spouse play a part in the problems of your marriage. So if you’ve come to re|engage believing your spouse is the problem, let this week be a reminder that even you fall short of God’s standard, and that your marriage is broken because it is made up of two broken people. Let’s hear more from this teaching by Ryan McCarthy, one of the associate pastors at Christ Chapel Bible Church in Fort Worth, Texas.

Welcome to Christ Chapel’s supplemental teaching podcast for re|engage. This podcast was designed to be an addition to the core curriculum that you’ll get from your re|engage workbooks. So, each week as you spend time reading, reflecting and doing the action items in your books, we want you to also take time to listen to this podcast to hear a little more about God’s design behind the concepts.

In this first session, we’re talking about LOVE! Whether you’re listening to this and feeling peacefully in love, or you’re finding that word really difficult, we think you’ll get a lot out of this teaching. We’re joined by Matt Lantz, the West Campus Pastor at Christ Chapel Bible Church in Willow Park, Texas. And he’s going to teach us about what love really is. Enjoy!

Welcome to Christ Chapel’s supplemental teaching podcast for re|engage. We love this marriage enrichment program because it joins you and your spouse with a community that will walk with you in your marriage – no matter if it feels like you’re currently at a 2/10 or 10/10 – you’re in the right spot because you’re ready to get help in loving each other better.

This podcast was designed to be a supplement to the core curriculum that you’ll get from your re|engage workbooks. So, each week as you spend time reading, reflecting and doing the action items in your workbooks, we want you to also take time to listen to this podcast to hear a little more about the theology behind the concepts. We’ve found that sometimes listening to the teachings here before doing the action items can make for a more peaceful conversation. However, some people may prefer the inverse—listening to this podcast after the workbook content. Whichever way you do it, we think it will enrich your group discussions as well as keep these topics and teachings in the forefront of your mind throughout the week. Listen while you get ready in the morning, on your commute, or during your workout!

We believe the Bible is the best marriage book around. Because we believe that God created everything—including marriage—and has a purpose beyond what makes sense to us, we’re going to teach a lot from the Bible. It’s God’s truth given to us for how to live – even when it seems different than what’s popular in today’s culture.
