November 02, 2020 Tim and Stephanie Broersma and a Marriage Reclaimed After Marital Betrayal
Tim and Stephanie share the process they went through after Stephanie found a conversation between her husband and another woman after he left his Facebook page open in the 7th year of their marriage. Tim confessed to multiple affairs and to a pornography addiction which took them both on a journey to restoration as they determined to do the hard work and fight for their marriage because the prospect of the alternative was harder to bear than going through the uncomfortable middle.
On the other side, they have found beauty truly does rise from the ashes when we find our life and/or marriage has caught fire. Walk with them through the rubble as they share their testimony and the ministry God birthed in Stephanie as she coped with the pain, devastation of grappling with marital betrayal.

May 06, 2020 Jenn and Shawn Marriage Story - When God Moves Us Into Unknown, New Territory
Host Alysha Miller shares encouragement from Deuteronomy 6 as we find ourselves in lockdown across the globe.
However, we didn't let quarantine stop us and episode 17 was recorded live from Jenn and Shawn Stocking's home in Riverside, CA. It's sweet to hear the two of them share how Jesus came into their life and they each received the free gift of salvation He offers (Romans 6 and 7 are good chapters to read about this very gift and why we as sinners should be grateful for it!)
Journey with Shawn and Jenn as they recount their lives before Christ, how a death in the family turned Shawn off from God and caused him to hold atheistic views for a time. He debated things about God and refuted Him before he reconnected to Jenn and learned more about her faith.
When Shawn did give his life to Christ, Jenn supported him as he began to learn from God's Word. Coming from an atheist background he had to learn how to lead biblically.
Shawn shares, "Through God's Word, through Scripture, we know what’s expected of us in our marriage."

April 01, 2020 His and Her Perspective on Glowing Through Marriage, The Arts and Family ft. Kytia and Jerrell
Kytia and Jerrell have been married for 10 years. Together, they host a podcast, Glowing Through It, and it's a "his and her perspective" on an array of topics, from social media, faith and current stories.
On episode 16, we get to hear the his and her sides of their marriage story and beyond. Listen in to learn on how they knew each other were "the one", how God has called them to be "fire starters" or pioneers in new creative mediums, the conviction of saving themselves for marriage and the importance of family in a world and culture that is trying to abolish the family unit.
This is a timely episode in the times we are living in. Kytia and Jerrell's platforms are a light in a dark world and I pray you're encouraged by their ministries.
Here is a link to their channels and podcast:

March 04, 2020 Marriage and Redefining Our Identity with Zack and Daniella Peck
Daniella grew up Catholic. Her family is from Italy and England. She knew of God, believed in Him but it was always more about the rituals and had never opened up God’s Word for herself. Becoming a Christian was an easier transition as being raised Catholic meant believing in the same God but it became a more intimate, personal relationship with Him, knowing Jesus as God.
Zack was raised in a Christian home and says he was a “Calvary kid”. or a “Sunday school kid”. Never had deep roots…”I was friends with kids who memorized the Bible but never knew them for myself”. He identified with being the joker and says that was probably very reflective of His relationship with the Lord, would make light of it.
“A lot of the serious things, the things that would cultivate good growth, I joked about”.
His relationship with the Lord didn’t start at this “wow” moment, it was a gradual thing.
“The Lord’s all about the long game”. — Zack
Zack was also adopted at a young age, knew his bio mom but never knew who his bio dad was and is still a mystery to this day.
That was the seed that brought him to the Lord and for 12-14 years led down a path of lies and destructive tendencies.
They share how they met (while in junior high/high school) and the ways the Lord showed them what they were making idols of and how He didn't bring them back to each other until He had their whole hearts.
All this and more on this month's episode!

February 05, 2020 Chelsey and Corey DeMatteis on Putting Our Pasts to Death & Making Room for New Life in Marriage
Chelsey and Corey are honest that there are differences in their marriage, in some ways they are the total opposites yet at the same time complementary. God handpicked the two of them to be together.
They answer these questions.
You’ve been open about the tougher seasons you’ve walked through even more recently together, can you share briefly on that season you’ve been walking through?
2. What’s something you envisioned your marriage looking like on your wedding day that was such a misconception or something that never really played out?
3. Do you guys take things to each other to the Lord together, on occasion? Or go to Him separate than come together and share it more often? Do you think one is more beneficial than the other?
4. How do you two find the balance of including each other’s opinions, or respecting each other’s thoughts in making family decisions or don’t you? Is that something you work through, find hard to do?
5. Chelsey we have similar testimonies, promiscuous pasts/the party scene, how do you feel that’s carried over into your marriage?
We talk about the hard things knowing that in our weakness He is strong. And knowing Jesus is not done with us yet! We can be confident that’s not how He’s going to leave the story, on the struggle or part that might leave you feeling deflated or discouraged. He’s working.
6. You’ve heard the word revival over your marriage. What are some of the things you want to leave in 2019 focusing on the things you need to leave behind (not your souses) and what do you want to bring into 2020 in regards to your marriage?
7. Corey, you’ve recently started a men’s study, how has that changed things? Chelsey, you host a podcast and write for ibelieve.com and to the wife’s and mommas with dreams in their hearts, how do you balance it? How did you begin?
8. How have you been able to use your skills or passion to serve God together or what would the dream be? What are you each passionate about? How could those two things blend?
9. What are your family goals / plans for 2020?

January 01, 2020 Catching Up with Elliott and Andrea Johnson On Honoring God Through Your Finances and Finding Financial Peace
Elliott and Andrea are saying once they set that budget, it empowered them to spend. A lot of people can feel it’s restricting but the truth is when they come together in agreement that this much money is going to “xyz” it helps a lot.
11:30 It takes time to work up to creating a budget and it takes time and grace. They give couples 90 days to start and it’s okay if you mess up. It’ll take 3 months to get the framework and foundation of your budget.
16:50 the feeling of peace and freedom that came from cutting up their credit cards and not owing a single thing to a single lender.
18:00 we talk about tithing and offering. Tithing is biblical principle, not a marriage principle.
21:00 thoughts on separate bank accounts in marriage.
“When you get married everything is one. God says to be fruitful and multiply, 1x1 is 1.”
25:00 talking about having a budget meeting committee together and seeing where you can and cannot spend.
“I had a pronoun issue, when I would say “I go to work and this is my account”. It wasn’t just me myself and I. That wasn’t it. God really had to correct me, it’s “us, we, ours, it’s together.”
36:00 quick overview of how to even create a budget.
You start with a quick start budget that has different categories and list of your debt and start plugging in numbers.
“You have to give every dollar a name, every dollar has to be on mission, on task, on paper, on purpose.”
Elliott goes into what the debt snowball is and how to celebrate some little wins and how to get the snowball to roll of paying debt off.
“When you begin to slay all those things down and cut them all down, you begin to see what kingdom of God looks like and feels like and the things you can do in His Kingdom and see it grow and flourish not just in you but how it’s going to propagate through the Kingdom
42:00 comparing yourself to how others live in marriage and the danger of that.
“Don’t let the fear of man and comparison, drive your behavior” —Andrea
“Who are we going to honor with what we have?
Is it going to be money, status and the pride of life that we’re going to be living for or to fear the Lord and the way He tells us to manage finances?”
Link Andrea’s comparison devotional
“This keeping up with the Joneses mentality has error, because the Joneses are most likely in debt to have all those nice things. You become a slave to their lifestyle.”
@themarriageprojectco
“It’s not that we’re against nice things. I want you to have nice things, I just don’t want nice things to have you.” — Elliott
45:00 talking a bit about comparison in marriage and if men compare as much as women, and if they have the “hallmark” take of marriage like women do. And do spouses compare talents, income and giftings?
“Income level is not a point where you should find your value, your value is in Whose you are in Christ” — Elliott
54:00 for those dating, when the financial conversation should start to happen and how and when your accounts merge.
Financial peace is not an oxymoron. It is possible. They’re walked through it, through the pain and tension and have been blessed get out of debt and help walk others through getting out too.
