When Numbness Steals Your Marriage: Breaking Free from Apathy | S.H.A.M.E. SERIES // 19


Listen Later

You’re not crazy. You’re just tired. So tired, you stopped caring. But numb isn’t peace—and it’s not your destiny. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not mad, I just don’t care anymore,” this episode is your wake-up call. Because apathy in marriage isn’t neutral—it’s spiritual warfare.

💖 Episode Summary:

In this third installment of the summer shame series, Michelle dives deep into one of the most dangerous and misunderstood struggles in Christian marriages: apathy. When you’ve cried the tears, prayed the prayers, and still feel nothing—it’s not the end, it’s a warning light. With bold honesty and Holy Spirit fire, Michelle exposes how the slow fade of apathy numbs desire, disconnects hearts, and invites shame to take root. But friend, numb isn’t your new normal. God has more for you.

📌 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why apathy isn’t harmless—and how it quietly destroys connection

  • How Satan patiently uses numbness to steal your joy and intimacy

  • The difference between peace and emotional detachment

  • Biblical truth that can reignite desire and drive out numbness

  • A powerful prayer strategy to invite God into your emotional dead zones

  • Practical steps to start feeling again—even after years of “nothing”

    🙌 Call to Action:

    Sister, if apathy has crept in, it’s time to armor up. Don’t let numbness be your new normal. Reclaim joy, passion, and God’s purpose for your marriage. Start by naming the numbness—and surrendering it to the One who heals.
