In this powerful episode of the Fight for Your Marriage Podcast, you'll hear James share his remarkable journey of God's redemption. James was once the prodigal spouse, running from God, running from his marriage, and unaware of the prayers being lifted for him day after day by his wife.

But then the roles unexpectedly reversed. His wife reached a breaking point and said she had finally had enough. She left. And suddenly, James found himself in a position he never imagined: he became the standing spouse, fighting and praying for his marriage.

James openly shares the heartbreak, the humbling, and the holiness of this season. He talks about what God has been teaching him and how He is using others to speak encouragement when he is weary.

Whether you are a prodigal, a stander, or someone who loves a prodigal, James' testimony will encourage you to keep praying, keep believing, and keep trusting the God who restores.

Kate's story is one of deep transformation through Christ. From childhood, she carried the wounds of rejection and exposure to things no child should face. After her parents' divorce, she sought approval in relationships and substances, not realizing she was really searching for the love of God.

When her marriage began to crumble, Kate discovered that her husband had become an idol in her life. In her brokenness, she surrendered fully to Jesus, and that is when everything changed. Today, Kate shares how God healed her heart, gave her a new identity in Him, and is teaching her to trust Him with her marriage.

Her testimony will encourage you to stop striving, release control, and trust the Lord with every part of your life. As you listen, you'll be reminded that God heals hurting homes by first transforming one heart at a time.

In this episode, we sit down with author and illusionist Drew Worsham to discuss his new book, The Magic of Curiosity: Unlocking Personal Growth, Deeper Connections, and Creativity in Every Area of Life.

Drew unpacks how curiosity can transform both our spiritual journey and our relationships. He challenges us to consider: How often do we miss out on divine moments because we're too busy or distracted? By leaning into curiosity and even wrestling with God, we move beyond surface-level faith and discover a deeper, more vibrant relationship with Him.

We explore how curiosity plays a powerful role in marriage and connection. Whether you're standing for marriage restoration, navigating separation, co-parenting, or seeking healing within your home today, this conversation will inspire you to build stronger communication and connection, so you are prepared for the next phase of your marriage. Drew reminds us that curiosity, about God and about one another, opens the door to growth, understanding, and restored relationships.

This is a conversation for anyone longing for hope, healing, and a deeper walk with God in every season of life and marriage.
