When marriage starts to feel transactional, we often begin building a case to justify why we’re done—replaying conversations, collecting offenses, and deciding the verdict before the conversation ever happens. 

In this episode, we unpack what happens when we attempt to take the place of God in our marriage, how internal narratives become reinforced, and why contractual love erodes intimacy and faith. If you’ve felt distant, defensive, or stuck, this conversation invites you back to covenant and reminds you that judgment was never your assignment.

In marriage—and in life—our biggest breakdowns often don’t come from a lack of love, but from assumptions, defensiveness, and rushing to protect ourselves.

In this episode, we talk about non-anxious curiosity and why it’s one of the most powerful relational skills you can develop. Instead of reacting, shutting down, or jumping to conclusions, non-anxious curiosity invites us to slow down and ask better questions—without fear, without accusation, and without needing to be right.

We also give a simple but transformative challenge:

Before you assume...Before you defend... Ask two more questions. This small shift can change the tone of your conversations, your marriage, and the way you relate to people everywhere you go.

Standards are easy to admire. Resolutions are costly to live.

In this episode, we unpack the critical difference between God’s standard and our resolution.

God’s standards reveal what is right, true, and good — rooted in Scripture and unchanging, regardless of circumstances. But many believers stop there. We agree with truth. We affirm it. We even teach it — without ever resolving to obey it when obedience costs us something.

Resolution is where pursuit becomes real.It’s the settled, internal decision that says, “This is not up for negotiation.”

From Daniel’s resolve in Babylon, to Jesus setting His face toward Jerusalem, to disciples leaving everything behind, Scripture shows us that transformation doesn’t happen through good intentions — it happens through costly obedience.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you know God requires and what you’re actually living out, this episode is for you.

Standards reveal God’s will.Resolutions reveal your surrender.

The holidays can bring joy—and they can bring pressure. In this episode, we talk about how to create a healthy dynamic for your marriage and your family by paying attention to what actually matters. It all begins with clarity and unity between you and your spouse, especially when it comes to calendars, commitments, and expectations. Because every yes is also a no—and when you learn to choose with intention, you make space for peace, connection, and the things God has truly called you to honor this season.

Insecurity quietly steals what God meant for connection. When we fixate on our flaws, we shift our eyes off of God and onto ourselves—placing a weight on our spouse and those closest to us that they were never meant to carry. 

In this episode, we’re talking about how insecurity robs us of intimacy, why it distorts our view of God and others, and how to start reclaiming truth. 

Challenge yourself this week: three times a day, speak God’s truth over the lie you’ve been living through. Freedom starts with shifting your focus.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why consistency trumps intensity in your faith, marriage, and parenting.

You can’t build a strong spiritual foundation by chasing emotional highs or trying to make up for inconsistency with one big moment. True growth comes from faithfully showing up every day, even when you don’t feel like it.

When you choose to show up — in prayer, in your marriage, and in your parenting — you move towards where you ultimately want to be. 

It’s those steady, obedient steps that help you both enjoy the intense moments and persevere through the hard ones.

Challenge of the Week: Ask God, “How do You want me to show up?” Instead of doing it your way, let Him lead your consistency.

If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent in your spiritual walk or home life, this episode will encourage you to slow down, trust God’s timing, and keep showing up faithfully.

What does it look like to truly live your faith out loud? In this powerful and personal episode, we sit down with our son, Gage, to talk about his incredible missionary adventures and the boldness it takes to share Christ in everyday life.

Gage opens up about how God called him into missions, the moments that stretched his faith, and the ways he’s seen God move across cultures and conversations. You’ll hear stories of transformation, lessons learned through obedience, and what it means to trust God fully—no matter where He leads.

We’ll also talk about what’s next for Gage as he continues his missionary journey, and how you can come alongside him through prayer, encouragement, and support as he steps out in faith once again.

If you’ve ever wondered how to live courageously for Jesus, how to share your faith with confidence, or how to support the next generation of missionaries, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of gratitude in marriage — how shifting your focus from what’s missing to what God is doing can bring hope, healing, and deeper connection. Gratitude doesn’t deny the hard seasons; it reminds you that God is working all things for good.

Verse: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

We’re more “connected” than ever—but many of us feel more disconnected than ever. Phones, endless scrolling, constant noise, and the pressure to always be “in the know” are leaving us unable to fully sit with ourselves or the people we love.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why silence and stillness feel so uncomfortable—and why that’s exactly where growth begins.

• How constant distraction is making us incapable of deep connection with ourselves and others.

• The importance of community, presence, and creating a smaller, more intentional world.

• Practical ways to step back from noise and cultivate meaningful relationships and spiritual grounding.

God designed us for connection, for presence, and for depth—not for endless scrolling and superficial interaction. If you’re ready to stop just existing and start truly connecting, this episode is for you.

We weren’t created for comfort—we were created for strength. In this episode, we explore why challenges are not meant to break us but to build us, how capacity is developed through resistance, and what it really means that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness. 

You wee made for hard things- things that are impossible without God, and so much of life is learning to trust Him through the hard, to trust the process He brings you through, and to learn to depend on him more and more. If you’ve ever wondered how to face the hard things in front of you, this conversation will remind you that you can—with Christ’s strength in you.
