🎙️ SPILLING | Episode 1: Leave It on the Table

Trigger Warning: This episode contains conversations about child abuse, emotional abuse, and suicide. Please protect your peace while listening.

Episode Summary:

On the very first episode of Spilling, we’re not easing in gently—we’re diving deep. Bailey and Stacey share the raw, redemptive, and jaw-dropping story of Courtney and Scott, a couple who seemed to have it all… on the outside. Behind the scenes? A quiet storm of childhood trauma, infidelity, debt, depression, and darkness.

But this isn’t just a story about pain—it’s about prayer. About a wife who refused to give up. About a God who refuses to let go. About a transformation that happened not in a therapist’s office or a self-help book, but in a shower, on a Sunday morning, and in the sacred act of surrender.

What happens when a wife stops trying to be the Holy Spirit for her husband—and starts living out the gospel with quiet strength and relentless intercession?

Spoiler alert: God shows up. And when He does, it’s wild, beautiful, and completely impossible to ignore.

In This Episode:

• A candid look at how trauma shaped the earliest parts of Courtney and Scott’s love story
• The slow burn of resentment and isolation in marriage
• What happens when secrets, shame, and bitterness take root
• The supernatural power of prayer and the Holy Spirit’s role in heart transformation
• A surprise baptism that still has us crying ugly tears
• Encouragement for anyone unequally yoked or praying for a prodigal spouse

Scripture Highlight:

📖 Scripture Highlights:

• 1 Peter 3:1–2 – “Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives...”
• Romans 8:1 – “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
• 1 Corinthians 7:13–14 – “If a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him... For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife.”
• John 1:5 – “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
• Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

☕ Final Sip:

If God can transform Scott, He can transform anyone. If Cortney’s steadfast faith could carry her through spiritual loneliness and emotional warfare, so can yours. Keep praying. Keep spilling. Keep trusting.

Because what the enemy meant for destruction?

God’s just getting started.
