  • Incarnate Love: How Christ’s Coming Shapes a Man’s Calling at Home

    Incarnate Love: How Christ’s Coming Shapes a Man’s Calling at Home
    2025/12/28
    In this first part of my conversation with Dr. Justin Tilghman, we explore the doctrine of the incarnation—God becoming human in the person of Jesus—and why it matters deeply for marriage and family life. Justin unpacks John 1:14 and helps us see how the full humanity and full divinity of Christ form the foundation of our salvation, our hope, and our understanding of love.From there, we turn to a husband’s calling to model Christ-like love in the home. Justin speaks candidly about the weight of that responsibility, the common barriers men face—especially when they lacked good examples growing up—and the ways children form early impressions of God from the fathers in their lives. We also talk about the tension women feel around leadership in marriage: when to step back, when to step in, and how trust in the Lord frames both postures.This episode lays the theological groundwork for Part 2, where we get very practical about incarnational leadership, emotional presence, and how husbands and wives become partners in modeling Christ to their families.Title: Incarnate Love: How Christ’s Coming Shapes a Man’s Calling at HomeGuest: Dr. Justin Tilghman, pastor and life coach What We Talk About in This Episode Why the incarnation is central to the gospel and essential to Christian life How John 1:14 reveals the heart of God entering human experience What it means for Jesus to be fully God and fully man—and why that matters for our salvation How fathers uniquely “image” God to their children The spiritual weight men feel in marriage, and why it often feels overwhelming The two major barriers men face in spiritual leadership: lack of modeling and selfishness How childhood experiences shape expectations around leadership in marriage The tension women feel between stepping back and stepping in Why trust in the Lord—not in a spouse—is the anchor in both scenarios A husband’s calling to love his wife as Christ loved the church Marriage as a partnership, not a hierarchy of control ✨ Key Takeaways The incarnation isn’t just theology—it’s the blueprint for how we love in ordinary family life. Jesus fully entered human experience, which means He understands every weakness, temptation, and emotion we face. Husbands are called to mirror Christ’s sacrificial love, not domination or control. Wives navigating leadership dynamics must examine motives, communicate openly, and place their deepest trust in God. Partnership, humility, and Spirit-empowered leadership are at the heart of biblical marriage. 📖 Scr...

  • Mary’s Surrender (pt 2) and the Soul’s Two-Step with guest Jeanne Bill

    Mary’s Surrender (pt 2) and the Soul’s Two-Step with guest Jeanne Bill
    2025/12/21
    This episode of Marriage, Mayhem, and Mercy features a rich conversation with Jeanne Bill about Mary’s surrender in Luke 1 and what it looks like to live a surrendered life today. Jeanne traces Mary’s quiet “yes” through pregnancy, Jesus’ ministry, the cross, and beyond, showing us that surrender isn’t a one-time decision but a daily process of trusting God in uncertainty and suffering.Jeanne also shares her own journey of healing, describing how daily surrender has meant allowing herself to feel pain, releasing it to Jesus, and practicing radical forgiveness—toward others and toward herself. We talk about bitterness and the body, the example of Jesus and Stephen in forgiving their enemies, the story of Joseph, and what Jeanne calls the soul’s “two-step”: surrender and submission. The episode closes with practical encouragement for living with a kingdom mindset, seeing our work and relationships as part of God’s family business, and believing that our “yes” to God is significant long before we see the fruit.Summary In this episode, Tanja sits down with Jeanne Bill to explore Mary’s surrender in Luke 1 and how her “let it be to me according to your word” continued through Jesus’ lifetime of ministry and suffering. Jeanne shares how God invited her into a daily practice of surrender in her own story of pain, regret, and healing. They discuss the difference between stuffing emotions and feeling to heal, the spiritual and physical cost of unforgiveness, the example of Jesus and Stephen forgiving their enemies, and what it means to live with a kingdom mindset in ordinary work and family life. Jeanne introduces the image of the soul’s two-step—surrender and submission—and reminds listeners that they are not behind in who they are becoming. In This Episode, We Talk About: How Mary’s surrender in Luke 1 flowed into a lifetime of trusting God through suffering Why “If you don’t feel, you won’t heal” matters for emotional and spiritual health The connection between unforgiveness, bitterness, and the body (“bitterness rots the bones”) The examples of Jesus on the cross and Stephen’s stoning as models of radical forgiveness Joseph’s response to his brothers and the truth that vengeance belongs to God What is really behind the un-Biblical concept of “self-forgiveness” Jeanne’s image of the two-step dance with God: surrender and submission Seeing your work as part of God’s family business and trusting Him for provision Why you are not behind in your calling—your delay may be development, not denial Practical Takeaways Let yourself feel so you can heal. Bringing your pain, regret, anger, and fear into the light is part of daily surrender; numbing only delays healing. Name and release unforgiveness. If you still feel that knot in your stomach when you see someone, ask the Lord to show you where forgiveness is unfinished.

  • Mary’s Surrender, Part 1: Saying “Yes, Lord” When Life Doesn’t Match the Call

    Mary’s Surrender, Part 1: Saying “Yes, Lord” When Life Doesn’t Match the Call
    2025/12/14
    In this episode of Marriage, Mayhem & Mercy, Tanja talks with nurse coach Jeanne Bill about Mary’s surrender in Luke 1 and what it means when God interrupts our carefully laid plans. Jeanne shares her journey from being a teenage mom on welfare to becoming a registered nurse and holistic nurse coach, and how God’s call on her life persisted through fear, limitation, and discouraging voices.Together, they explore how trauma is stored in the body, why healing must address spirit, soul, and body, and how Mary’s “yes” to God shows us a posture of trust when reality doesn’t match the promise. They also contrast Mary’s faith-filled question with Zechariah’s doubt, and imagine how Mary’s time in Elizabeth and Zechariah’s home quietly trained her in the power of words, surrender, and daily obedience.Mary’s Surrender, Part 1: Saying “Yes, Lord” When Life Doesn’t Match the Call Episode Summary In this episode, Tanja is joined by nurse coach Jeanne Bill to explore Mary’s surrender in Luke chapter 1. Jeanne shares her powerful testimony of being a teenage mom, facing academic insecurity and lack of support, and yet following God’s long-term invitation into nursing and holistic coaching. They talk about trauma stored in the body, how God often calls us in direct contradiction to our circumstances, and what it means to position our hearts to serve God’s purposes when our plans—and our reputations—are on the line. In This Episode, We Talk About: How Jeanne went from teenage mom on welfare to registered nurse and nurse coach. The way unhealed trauma can manifest as unexplained physical symptoms like migraines, chest pain, or stomach issues. Mary’s story in Luke 1 as a picture of God interrupting our plans with His purpose. The difference between Mary’s question (“How will this be?”) and Zechariah’s question—and why one was honored and the other was disciplined. How Mary’s stay in the home of Elizabeth and Zechariah may have shaped her understanding of the power of words, surrender, and daily trust. Practical Takeaways God’s invitations often contradict your circumstances. Feeling unqualified or under-resourced doesn’t mean you misheard God; it may mean He plans to show His strength in your weakness. Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget. If you’re experiencing chronic, unexplained symptoms, it may be wise to consider the impact of past trauma on your body and soul. Positioning your heart to serve God’s purpose starts with trust. Mary shows us what it looks like to say, “I am the Lord’s servant,” even when the path ahead is unclear. Your words matter. Zechariah’s silence and Mary’s quiet pondering remind us to be “quick to listen, slow to speak,” especially when doubt and fear are loud. Timing is part of calling. Jeanne’s 20-year journey to nursing school highlights that God’s call may be immediate, but His timing for fulfillment often unfolds slowly. Scripture Mentioned
