When you are looking to rebuild trust that has been broken, there is an innate longing for the truth. In fact, you will go to great lengths in order to unearth any deception. And truth is a beautiful thing...but do you need to know every detail to move forward? Does every thing you know truly lead you towards healing?

On this episode we go through some practical tips and questions to help you navigate this process. Transparency is key! The willingness to reveal any and all things is necessary in order to walk out reconciliation. However, we also want to encourage you to remember that everything you know you will have to heal from. Everything you see, read, and hear has the ability to taint even more of your past. Because of that, you definitely need to ask yourself some tough questions before finding out EVERY detail about everything. 

Ultimately, we ask you to go to Jesus. Pray for your spouse like you never have before, and specifically for their mind and yours!

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1st Corinthians 10:13

In the past few weeks, we have walked you through our individual stories, and what God had to do in both of our lives to bring us to the point of reconciliation. Now we want to take you through the actual reconciliation process and the steps that we learned along the way. 

On this episode. we talk about the detox process. We found this to be one of the most painful stages to walk through, as we were in a consistent cycle of distrust and failure. 

We are praying that some of the mistakes we made in this process, will encourage you to BE RUTHLESS in eliminating things in your life that are holding you back from what God has for you, and your marriage. Don't let the flesh win and be willing to do whatever it takes. Don't continue to hold on to facets of your life, places, people, or things that need to be eliminated from your life. 

And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:8-9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We are so excited to be back for Season 5! We love that you are joining us for this journey, and pray you find this content helps you to grow as an individual and in your marriage.

We have had the amazing opportunity to share our story in many places, but we realized over the summer that we had failed to share it here. We hope, as we relay some of the darkest moments of our life, that you get a glimpse of the WHY behind our ministry...why we do this, why we are passionate about what God can do in marriages, and why we so diligently share hope. Above all, we pray that the path we took either helps you to avoid those steps in the wrong direction, or trust God to heal deep wounds. 

This is Part 1 where Brad shares many of the small choices he made that eventually led him to places he never meant to go. He also shares how God reached him in those dark places, and offered him a choice.

Be sure to follow us so you don't miss next week when you will hear from Lisa for Part 2 of our story of reconciliation.

We got a question from one of you that inspired this entire episode! We sure love to hear from you guys! 

What does pursuit look like in your relationship? Do you know what pursuit feels like to you, to your spouse, and do you make time for it?

If there has been a breach of trust, are you going into hyper pursuit to really show your spouse that you value them, don't want to lose them, and to make new memories together?

The truth is, the longer you are together, the more intentional your pursuit of one another should be. And this should be fun!! You should want to pursue your spouse. This is the person you get to do life with! Don't waste it by selling for melancholy...go after extraordinary!

Are you an encourager? Do you give support, confidence, or hope to someone? Have you considered encouragement as coming alongside someone to place courage into them? Today we talk about the impact this has had in our lives, and challenge you to live it out in your own. We also want you to keep in mind that Jesus endured hard things for the joy that lay before Him.....for you and for me!

Hebrews 12:1-3Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

One doesn't normally associate the word discipline with positive connotations. In fact, typically the first thing that comes to mind is punishment. We want to challenge you on today's episode to look at this through a different lens. In fact, God tells us that He disciplines those He loves. We loves these verses talking about discipline and the benefits it yields.

Hebrews 12:11-13 tells us that, "No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the fruit of peace and righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but healed instead."

We challenge you to start a discipline, stick with one that you have started, and don't become discouraged. 

Develop the disciplines in your life that take you the direction you want to go.
