Does being caught in sin vs confessing have an impact on whether there is genuine repentance?

How do you truly know if someone is repentant? What does that look like? We talk about these topics and much more on this episode, and we encourage you to evaluate where your trust lies, and to listen to God’s voice over any and all others. Don’t move until He tells you to move, and if He tells you to move, be radically obedient!

In addition, we challenge you to confess to a trusted source whatever God lays on your heart while listening to this episode. And DON’T GIVE UP! There are so many resources available.

We often hear from those who has been betrayed about the struggle between where their life started being a lie, and the reality that so many of their beautiful memories have been tainted through the lens of their pain. 

On today's episode, we share unique personal insights into how this came to pass in our own marriage, and both the dangers and the necessity of compartmentalization. 

We also want to encourage you in your healing. Jesus sees you! He does not want you to be stuck in pain or shame. He wants to redeem every aspect of your life. Go to Him for it all!

100 EPISODES!!!! Wow, what a journey. We want to give all praise, glory, and honor to Jesus for taking us each step of the way as only He can. We could never have anticipated what the past two years have held, and we look forward with anticipation to what God is going to do in our future. We couldn't be doing this without our family and are so beyond grateful for each of them, and for each one of you and your encouragement and support through it all!

We encourage you, in your own faith walk, don't be satisfied with being a sideline Christian. We want to challenge you to step into whatever area of faith that God is calling you towards,  and don't take for granted the opportunity to read your Bible, memorize scripture, and be used by God.

Few people who follow Christ deny the power of prayer, but often we choose not to access it. Instead, prayer is often treated as a last resort, instead of a first step. We want you to evaluate what it looks like to go to God in prayer for everything. What would your life look like to go to Him FIRST?

The reality is that prayer may not change your circumstances the way you like, but IT WILL CHANGE YOU! Dive into an intentional and intimate relationship with your Heavenly Father and go to war for your family and your marriage! 

Remember to pray those bold prayers and then surrender to God's will,  just like Jesus did. Luke 22:42, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.

Surrender is not an easy process because the reality is that we all crave control, and we like to think we can somehow dictate outcomes. However, that is not the reality, and we all need to learn to surrender every area of our life. 

We often don't consider this, but in reality we are all surrendered to something, and we need to choose what that is. You can choose to give it to God or you can choose to be surrendered to your fear, your pain, your shame, your addiction, or your past.

On this episode, we talk about what surrender looked like for each of us, and the day to day questions we have to ask God to help us in this pursuit. We also emphasize our desire that each of you recognize your need for this in your own life and marriage. Ultimately, we hope this brings you hope no matter what you might be facing and remind you who is truly in control. Exodus 14:14

WELCOME BACK TO OUR NEW SEASON!

We get very personal on this episode and invite you into the details of our renewal ceremony at 15 years, and even read our vows that we spoke to each other. Find out why we believe legacy matters so much, and how we have seen how God has moved immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine in the past 11 years. 

We also challenge each of you to look closely at what you are planting now and what that will produce in the future.

In culture today, there is a mind-set of self-love, vs. what Christ calls us to, which is to be selfLESS. 

We were shocked by several articles that stated the reason they chose to get a divorce is because of self-love. We see the continued trend of how culture is demeaning marriage, the value of it, and also giving it the appearance of it being simple to walk away from.  In fact, the lie is that it will actually benefit your family to see you pursue happiness vs. staying in your marriage. 

Don't fall for the lie! Don't start serving self and stop pursuing one another. 

Once again, Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and follow Him. Let's not take this lightly. Luke 9:23 “Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”

It is so easy to come from a place of expecting God to meet us, instead of chasing after God. What is your posture towards God?

Your marriage is designed to be a team effort, filled with purpose, effective for the kingdom. You are meant to be better together, instead of being half of what could be. Don't settle, don't harden your heart, don't be lukewarm, don't hold back....chase after God. He can handle all your questions and all your doubts, and you have nothing to lose by going after God, and everything to lose if you don't.
