Hi friend!
Submission has picked up a lot of baggage over the years—and not all of it is biblical. In this episode, we’re unpacking some of the most common lies about submission in marriage, including the belief that it means passivity, weakness, or one-sided obedience.
It’s time to strip away the distortions, return to Scripture, and rediscover the freedom found in God’s original design.
Let’s do this.

Hi friend,
We often hear that it takes two committed individuals to make a marriage work but what if we told you that it takes one courageous spouse willing to make the move towards progress to begin this process.
Being a courageous spouse means choosing to partner with God and making courageous moves needed for a more loving & connected marriage…even if your spouse is not currently on board!
We’ve both had to play that role at different points in our journey, and we’ve seen firsthand how powerful one person’s faith and action can be in shifting the tone and direction of the relationship.
So if you desire a deeper connection in your marriage, but feel stuck because your spouse isn’t showing up right now, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, you’ll discover:
3 reasons why waiting for your spouse to get on board before working on your marriage could be holding you back
How to begin moving forward and creating change — even on your own
Simple steps to start building the stronger marriage you truly long for
We pray this blesses you!

Hi friend!
When we get married—and as the years go by—we bring expectations into the relationship. Some are spoken, others unspoken. But what happens when those expectations aren’t met?
Disappointment can quietly build up and create distance, especially when it happens repeatedly.But here’s the truth: how we respond to unmet expectations can either drive a wedge between us or open the door to deeper connection.
In this episode, we have an honest conversation about navigating disappointment in marriage. You’ll discover practical ways to handle unmet expectations—even if it’s not the first time—so you can move from frustration to reconnection.
We pray this episode blesses you and offers a fresh perspective on your marriage journey.

Hi friend!
Let’s talk about something often overlooked—but essential—for a healthy, thriving marriage: REST. Not just physical rest, but the kind that restores your mind, heart, and your connection with your spouse.
What if the closeness you’re craving isn’t about more time or better communication, but about learning to slow down together?
In a world that celebrates busyness, many couples are quietly running on empty—tired, disconnected, and just trying to keep up. But what if rest isn’t a luxury? What if it’s one of the keys to thriving in your relationship?
In today’s episode, we unpack why rest—not more effort—might be exactly what your marriage needs this season. If you desire deeper intimacy, emotional connection, and closeness, then this episode is for you.

Men’s Mental Health: You Are Not Alone
“I can’t hide myselfI don’t expect you to understandI just hope I can explainWhat it’s like to be a manIt’s a lonely road, and they don’t care about what you knowIt’s not about how you feel but what you provide inside that home.”— Dax, “To Be a Man”
This is the chorus of Dax’s song “To Be a Man”—and I know some husbands out there can really relate.The pressure.The silence.The weight of holding it all together by providing.
So as we wrap up June and Men’s Health Month, I want to speak directly to my brothers:
You don’t have to walk through it alone.
Taking care of your mental and physical health isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom. It’s strength.
And it’s one of the greatest things you can do for yourself, your marriage and your family.
No matter where you are in this season—or how deep the struggle feels right now—know this:
There is hope. And there is help.
Let’s talk about it.
David

Hi friend!
You’ve probably said it—or at least thought it:“Once things calm down... once I get that promotion... once the timing feels right, then we'll reconnect."
It’s so easy to fall into the trap of waiting for the perfect time to connect with your spouse. But here’s the truth: waiting might be hurting your marriage more than helping it.
In this episode, we’re unpacking 4 powerful reasons why you shouldn’t delay meaningful connection with your spouse—including how waiting for the “right time” can quietly sabotage intimacy and what to do instead.
Whether you’ve felt emotionally distant lately or simply “too busy,” this loving (and practical!) conversation will give you the nudge you need to prioritize your marriage right now—in the middle of real life.
