    555-Married (Sacred) Sex: Interview with Gary Thomas — Listener Favorite (Re-release)
    2026/10/07
    Married (Sacred) Sex: Interview with Gary Thomas - Listener Favorite (Re-release) What if growing closer to God could also help you grow closer to your spouse? In this Listener Favorite re-release, Belah welcomes bestselling author and international speaker Gary Thomas for an honest conversation about faith, marriage, and sexual intimacy. Gary's books—including Sacred Marriage, Sacred Pathways, and Cherish—have helped readers explore spiritual growth and deeper relationships. His work draws on Scripture, church history, and Christian wisdom to encourage people toward greater love for God and one another. In this interview, they discuss Married Sex, which Gary coauthored with licensed counselor Debra Fileta. Together, their perspectives invite husbands and wives to understand and appreciate each other. Gary offers practical ideas: ask what your spouse enjoys instead of assuming; consider how music, scent, and touch shape connection; and build anticipation through what he calls "simmering"—preparing for intimacy before the moment arrives. They also explore barriers involving beliefs, emotional wounds, physical challenges, and creativity. Gary shares how noticing his wife's everyday sacrifices deepened his appreciation for her. As you listen, consider where you might be approaching your spouse with an expectation when a question would be more helpful. What haven't you asked lately? What effort have you noticed but haven't acknowledged? Sometimes a meaningful next step begins with helping your spouse feel seen. You don't need to turn the conversation into a list of things to fix. Choose one idea that catches your attention and share why it matters to you. Give your spouse room to respond, and look for something you would both welcome. After listening, try asking: "What is one way I could help you feel more cherished this week?" We hope this conversation encourages you to keep learning about each other and making room for connection.

    At DYM we coach husbands and wives to transform their marriage even if only one does the work, but we encourage the husbands to go first.

    With love,
    The Delight Your Marriage Team

    PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent Academy program graduate:
    "My wife and I have been separated for 6 months, and the same day as our Academy graduation, she chose to and began moving back into our matrimonial home. I also told her about our Academy program that same day. Up until then, I had said I was attending a men's bible study. All praise be to God."

    554-Jesus Was Kind, but He Didn't Care. Until...
    2026/10/01

    Jesus Was Kind, but He Didn't Care. Until...

    Ben planned a date night by the pool. Charcuterie board, music, the whole thing.

    And that night his wife told him: "If you don't change, I'm leaving."

    Married 24 years. Four kids. A business owner who casts limestone mantles and is in his shop by 5:15 every morning. A man's man. On one of his first calls he told me, (amongst explitives) "I've never even apologized in my life... I don't know how to do this."

    But Ben looked around and believed, his kids are worth it. His family's worth it. God is worth it.

    This week he's on the podcast, and he said something I hope husbands stop and think about:

    "She just wants me to be kind, and I'm like, 'You know what? For me to be kind, I have to care.' And for most of my life, I didn't care... And that's not a loving Savior."

    Ben's view of God shifted from a harsh God who is just there to discipline and not much else, to Jesus, who is kind. And then his marriage started to change.

    Christian marriage transformation became real for Ben when his wife told him something had to change.

    In this episode you'll hear:

    How a hard childhood taught him to shut down and walk away
    Why he finally understood what she meant by "You don't make me feel safe" and how that blocked everything
    Why he went through the program twice, and what finally broke through
    His blunt advice for the man who's where he was

    Today? They're 180 degree different and they're completely different, because of his transformation.

    Husband, you're the leader. When you change, everything in your marriage and family changes.

    If you're thinking, "Belah, I don't need the episode. I need the coaching," we'd love to help. delightyourmarriage.com/cc

    At DYM we coach husbands and wives to transform their marriage even if only one does the work, but we encourage the husbands to go first.

    Blessings,

    Belah

    PPPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say: [before coaching], "I felt like I was living a lie, didn't like my husband yet I didn't really believe in divorce and didn't want the consequences of how that would affect our family. I suffer from abandonment issues and felt like I was abandoned especially in my marriage. I had Extreme Loneliness, felt unfulfilled, disappointment, resentment, always questioning God "why would you choose this for me" , "why cant you just fix this." [after coaching], "I never saw myself as a controlling nag, I just saw myself with the unlucky draw of a husband who thought only of himself. Now I feel like I won the lottery."

    553-The Fatherhood Focus That Changes Everything with Brad Rhoads
    2026/09/23
    The Fatherhood Focus That Changes Everything with Brad Rhoads "Most parents miss the joys of parenting trying to be a good parent." That's what Brad Rhoads's mentor told him. And it wrecked him in the best way. Brad's a father of five. Married to Marilyn for 30 years. He ran a law practice for 22 years before launching Grace Marriage (gracemarriage.com), a ministry that equips churches with ongoing marriage support. But fatherhood? He'll tell you he was overcomplicating it. Diet, academics, activities, spiritual development, family worship. The list felt endless. And no matter how hard he tried, it never felt like enough. Then his mentor said something that shifted everything: "Brad, just make it your mission that your children feel delighted in. That they feel there's nobody in the world that likes them more than you." Not 800 things. One thing. Delight. And here's what happened: one of his daughters told him, "Dad, a lot of dads spend time with their kids, but I can tell you actually want to." That's the fruit of delight. Not perfection. Not checking every parenting box. Just a kid who knows her dad likes her. I'll add, since Brad, a man of genuine integrity, graciousness, and generous character likes his kids, they WANT to be like him. It reminds me of God and the way he loves us. When we believe we are delighted in, we are drawn to love and delight Him even more! Husband, if the enemy's been whispering that you're a terrible father, this episode is for you. Delight changes everything. He also says the number first thing you need to be a great dad, is to be a great husband. At DYM we coach husbands and wives to transform their marriage even if only one does the work, but we encourage the husbands to go first.

PPPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say: [before coaching], "I thought things were great in our relationship" [after coaching] "I didn't know that this program could take our relationship to an even better level. I didn't know that there was still room to fall even more in love or be more grateful and close with my husband." Here is an AI-generated summary of today's episode: The Fatherhood Focus That Changes Everything: Interview with Brad Rhoads What if fatherhood didn't have to feel like drowning? Brad Rhoads, father of five, married 30 years, former attorney, and founder of Grace Marriage, sits down with Belah to share the one shift that transformed his parenting: making delight primary. His mentor called parenting "the modern-day black hole" and gave Brad a single mission: make sure your kids feel like nobody in the world likes them more than you. In this episode, Brad unpacks how that one phrase changed how he spends time with his kids, how he handles the hard seasons, and why the best thing a father can do for his children is love their mom well. "Parenting Is the Modern-Day Black Hole" Brad's mentor laid it out: the good diet, the activities, the music, the academics, the spiritual development, the family worship. "He said just like, ugh." The pressure to be a perfect parent is crushing, and it often backfires. "Most parents miss the joys of parenting trying to be a good parent. They feel this weight to really be a good, godly parent, but then their kids don't even necessarily feel like their parents like them." The mentor's counsel was simple: "Just enjoy your kids, and ultimately whoever's kindest will have the most influence." Make Delight Primary Brad shifted from analyzing everything to having fun with his kids. Not throwing discipline out the door, but flipping the priority. "I find that those that make discipline primary, it tends to cause rebellion." The more he did stuff his kids wanted to do, the more he liked them, and the more he wanted to spend time with them. It became a virtuous cycle. "Whoever likes you the most is who you're gonna wanna spend time around. And if you can tell somebody really wants to spend time with you, really enjoys their time with you, really thinks you're cool, really is into what you're doing, you're gonna be like, 'I kinda like that person.'" The Power of Pursuit Brad built simple, consistent rhythms: one morning a week breakfast with each kid (often McDonald's or Huddle House), one overnight a year with each child, and activities tailored to each kid's interests. One daughter loves the NFL, so they go to a different venue every year. Another got into golf, and it's now Brad's primary time with her. "The beauty of golf is if it's somebody you wanna pour into, golf takes a long time. And you're sitting beside somebody." He's also seen what happens when pursuit comes too late. Friends who tried to start breakfast dates with their high school kids found ...
