What do you do when you're in a battle that feels like it just won't end? Whether you're fighting a spiritual battle, financial battle, marriage battle, career battle, family battle, or something completely different, this episode is about what it takes to keep fighting until you win.

Tony and Christina pull lessons from the biblical story of David and Goliath and break down three practical steps that can help you face the giant in front of you.

David didn't defeat Goliath because the battle was easy. He stepped onto the battlefield with faith, remembered what God had already brought him through, and was willing to finish the fight.

Whatever your “Goliath” is right now, don't quit in the middle of the battle.

In this episode:
3 steps to keep fighting until you win
What David and Goliath can teach us about our battles today
Why remembering past victories matters
How faith changes the way you approach difficult seasons
Why you can't allow the size of the battle to determine the size of your
confidence
What it means to finish the fight
Your giant may be big—but that doesn't mean it wins.

In the final episode of “Are They the One?”, Christina shares a story from the early days of our relationship involving Kangaroo Jack, a nickname in her phone, and a text conversation that taught Tony an important lesson about humility.

Part 3 Takeaway
If both people are too prideful to say “I'm sorry” or “I apologize,” there may be a problem.

Christina's willingness to apologize for unintentional hurt showed Tony the importance of humility in a relationship—and over 10 years of marriage, her example helped him become better at apologizing too.
The right person won't be perfect, but they should be willing to apologize, grow, and repair.

That wraps up our three-part “Are They the One?” mini-series!

Do you feel like you have to impress the person you're dating to keep them interested?

In Part 2 of our three-part mini-series, “Are They the One?”, Tony and Christina share another story from the early days of their relationship—this time involving a date that cost just $3.

No expensive restaurant. No elaborate plans. No pressure to impress.

Just a trip to the donut shop.

Tony shares why this simple date became an important reminder that when you're with the right person, you shouldn't have to constantly perform, impress, or pretend to be someone you're not.

Part 2 Takeaway
If you have to perform or impress, they may not be the right person for you. Compatibility matters. If one person desires a lifestyle centered around the finer things while the other genuinely doesn't, neither person is necessarily wrong—but that difference matters when you're considering a life together.

The right relationship should give you room to be authentically you.

How do you know when you've found the person you're supposed to spend your life with?

While divorce rates in the U.S. have declined from the often-cited “50%” figure, a significant percentage of marriages still end in divorce. But what if part of the problem starts before the marriage?

In Part 1 of our new three-part mini-series, “Are They the One?”, Tony and Christina go back to the beginning of their relationship and explore what it looks like when the right relationship doesn't have to be forced.
We look at Genesis 2:18, when God says He will make Adam “a helper fit for him.” God didn't leave Adam scrambling to manufacture the right relationship—He knew exactly who was fit for him.

Tony shares a personal story from the early days of his relationship with Christina. While traveling out of town, something happened that made him realize just how naturally Christina had become part of his thoughts and his life.

Part 1 Takeaway
Coming Next:
Part 2 of Are They the One? — another story from our journey and another lesson that helped us recognize we had found the right person.

Welcome back to the final episode of our three-part mini-series, "God Knows What He's Doing."

Have you ever wondered why God didn't open the door you were praying for? Sometimes His greatest blessings come through unfamiliar doors you never expected to walk through.

In this episode, Christina shares how the job she desperately wanted never worked out, despite multiple follow-up emails. Looking back, she now sees that God was directing her to something far greater—a career with better pay, better benefits, and greater opportunities than she could have imagined.

Isaiah 40:25–26 reminds us that God knows every star by name and not one is missing. If He is that intentional with His creation, you can trust that He is just as intentional with your life.

If you're wondering why things didn't go as planned, this episode is a reminder that God knows what He's doing. Sometimes He leads us to our greatest blessings through unfamiliar doors.

Question of the Day: Has God ever led you through an unfamiliar door that turned out to be a bigger blessing than you expected?

We'd love to hear your story in the comments!
