In this episode, we get real about why most conflict isn’t about the issue—it’s about emotional overwhelm, unspoken expectations, and trying to do marriage alone. 

We talk through how learning to regulate emotions, communicate expectations early, and stay connected to healthy community could have saved us years of unnecessary pain. 

This isn’t theory or perfect advice—it’s hindsight from lessons learned the hard way. 

If you’re fighting for your marriage or simply want to build it wiser and stronger, this conversation is for you.

This episode isn’t marriage advice—it’s hard-earned hindsight we wish we had before we said “I do.” 

Regardless if you’re married or not (yet), we share the first 2 things we’d change if we could start over, starting with inner healing, because unhealed wounds will always run the marriage no matter how good your communication is. 

If you’re growing and your spouse isn’t ready yet, this episode will break the lie that healing has to be mutual to be effective. 

If your marriage feels stuck, tense, or heavier than it should be, this conversation will help you understand why—and what to do next.

Interview with My Sister Who Prayed Me Home.

A Story of Relentless Prayer, Family Love, and God’s Pursuit

In this episode, I sit down with my older sister, Jessica—the one who refused to quit praying for me.

The real moments, the laughter, and a few stories only sisters can tell

Simple, practical ways to keep praying for someone you love when you’re not seeing change yet

If you’ve ever carried someone on your heart and wondered if your prayers are doing anything—this episode will stir your hope again.

Almost every husband and wife that we end up working with has felt like they’ve lost themselves and feel like they don’t know who they are anymore. 

Or they never themselves at all outside of what they do… 

And one of the most subtle and dangerous places to find yourself in, in your marriage is when you feel like you’ve lost your purpose and they’re going through he motions of being a spouse and are good at managing the day to day stuff that needs to happen for the house to run but totally dry when it comes to feeding the marriage…or yourself.

We dive deeper on living in your True Identity and why we operate in a false identity.

We share two recent stories that just happened that you are incredible teaching moments.

It’s an honor and a joy to welcome our good friend, mentor, and spiritual father — Mr. Clyde Lewis.

He loves Jesus, he’s a husband, a father, a pastor, and a prophetic coach who helps leaders and business owners discover how to walk in their God-given identity and carry kingdom authority into every area of their lives — including the marketplace.

This is one of the most important topics we could ever talk about…

Knowing your true God given Identity.

 Your identity becomes your marching order — your compass for life.

The two most important things in life are knowing who God is — and knowing who you are.

And make no mistake: Satan hates it when you discover that. Because when you do, you become unshakable.

We get deep, raw and real in this episode as we share where we had to learn how to forgive in our own lives.

Without this critical principle nothing in your life will work. It is a STOP to all growth. While it might be one of the most difficult principles to start, it quickly becomes the easiest one to master. We need to forgive. We need to become master forgivers. 

The reason we can forgive is that Jesus Forgave us. Forgiveness is an act of faith and it’s a command not a feeling. The moment you decide to forgive – is the beginning of forgiveness. 

Marriage is one of the best training grounds for learning the power of forgiveness.

Erica came to us 3 years ago when her marriage was in ruins. Even her closest friends told her it was time for her to let the marriage go, but something inside her (God) told her ‘not yet.’ 

There was years of dysfunction, alcoholism, betrayal and pain that needed to be healed and she felt like we were her last stop before she made the final decision to move on.

But God. I interview her on details of what was going on and what she did to walk out her and Chris’s healing journey. Today they are sharing their testimony of restoration and how they now help other marriages heal and become a testimony for God’s glory.

You will be encouraged and realize if they can heal from what they’ve walked through, God can be the author of your healing story too!
