  • Marriage is NOT Designed for Your Happiness...

    In this episode, Cassidy and Daniela get into a very counterintuitive subject--the PURPOSE of marriage. Don't be too quick to write this episode off! We guarantee you, there's more to the title than meets the eye. Our culture inundates us with all types of mantras and mottos, among which are the phrases "find the person that makes YOU happy" or "follow your heart". Though these slogans may sound good, they aren't entirely true. They lack a lot of depth. The Bible delineates the fact that as the Body of Christ, believers are created for a purpose, and the marriage relationship is a pattern of that purpose.

  • I'm Married to a Narcissist...What Now?
    In this podcast episode, Cassidy and Daniela pose the question "I'm married to a narcissist...what now?" DISCLAIMER: Cassidy and Daniela are NOT professional psychologists, psychiatrists or therapists. As relationship coaches, they share their knowledge based on past experience, their personal research as well as what they've gleaned from the Bible on this subject. They tackle the controversial question about whether it is even possible for a Christian to be a narcissist, though it may sound like a paradox.
    In this discussion, they break down the typical traits of a narcissist, identify the two general types of narcissism, and the main causes of NPD. The objective of this dialogue, is to examine and filter this disorder through a Biblical lens and offer hope and solutions for moving forward if you find yourself in a marriage with a narcissist. They are firm believers in that with God ANYTHING is possible--even recovery from narcissism; however, they maintain the balanced view that not all cases will result in success. Given the fact that in the very nature of a narcissist, there lacks the ability to acknowledge they have a problem, getting the person to break out of their denial can prove very daunting and challenging--but NOT impossible. Join the dialogue, as we share some simple strategies to bring light on this subject and start the process of exposing the issue, healing and moving forward.

  • Are You Guarding Your Kids' Minds?

    Have you noticed the acceleration of Witch Craft/magic and selling one’s soul to the devil in children’s programs? Have you discerned the increase in sexualization and violence lately? I mean, Disney has been doing this covertly from its inception, but now, it's no longer hidden and it’s ubiquitous. The battle for our kid's minds is real. In this episode, Cassidy and Daniela discuss how important it is that as parents, we protect the little minds of our children.

Not only are they our greatest God given responsibility; they are our greatest investment.

  • Are You Married to Your Ministry?

    In this episode, Cassidy and Daniela pose the question, "are you married to your ministry?" As always, this couple doesn't shy away from controversial subjects--so let's dig in! Someone's gotta talk about it, right?

    This discussion spurs from the common, yet false ideology that working in "ministry" is justifiably priority above the marriage relationship. The couple dispels this notion using biblical scripture and patterns that clearly delineate a different picture and demonstrate how and why marriage is of greatest priority above all ministry work and other relationships--apart from your relationship with Jesus Christ, of course. They expose and identify red flags that perhaps knowingly or unknowingly signify that you or your spouse may be guilty of committing this dangerous error--and talk about how to fix it! 

    Please share this episode with a loved one if you found it edifying!
