Today on the Marriage After God podcast, we talk about how much our conduct shapes the culture of our marriage. We share how the way we speak, respond, and show love reveals what we truly believe about God—and how it impacts the emotional and spiritual climate of our home.

We discuss the husband’s role in protecting and caring for his wife and family, and how a wife’s conduct can strengthen and encourage her husband’s faith. As we reflect on Scripture and our own experiences, we encourage couples to stay rooted in prayer, lean on the Holy Spirit, and commit to living out love every day.

In this episode–

• Our conduct in marriage flows from our beliefs about God.

Today on the Marriage After God podcast, we explore the truth that Christ alone deserves the throne in our lives. The conversation challenges all of us to lay down anything we’ve elevated above Him and to find our worth, value, and identity solely in who He is. When we honor Christ as our ultimate authority, we experience the fullness, purpose, and freedom found only in Him.

In this episode–

• Christ does not want to share any throne in your life.
• We are called to seek our worthiness and value in Christ alone.
• All honor and glory belong to Christ and Christ only.
• Placing anything above Jesus diminishes His rightful authority.
• True value is found in a relationship with Him.
• Christ deserves our full devotion and undivided heart.
• Searching for worth outside of Him always leads to emptiness.
