Description

Faithlessly discarding every circumstance that is less than what we expected or desired means we’re only faithfully following our own will instead of His. We’re claiming our own sovereignty over our story. What if instead of asking God to change the circumstance around me, I lean into asking God to change me?

…Hormones Are Not Just For Puberty: I didn’t know anything about hormones. Honestly...nothing. I didn’t know they corresponded with menstrual cycles, eating habits, moods...everything.

No One Told Me: Halloween Edition: This special Halloween episode was honestly born out of sitting and talking about stories that make your skin crawl. You know the kind.

…Food Is Our Friend Just Not Our Best Friend: When I graduated high school, I started thinking a little bit about what I ate. I started intentionally exercising. And, slowly, it became an obsession.

Fitness Isn’t A Number: Researchers are finding one of the biggest reasons we don’t exercise is because we feel like it’s all a big comparison game. We’re intimidated by going to the gym. We know comparison robs us of joy, but now, if we’re not careful, by No One Told Me

40 min listen
…My Mom Won’t Always Buy My Groceries: Alright. We’re getting practical here. I’ve gotten lots of messages about grocery shopping. Personally, I kind of like it.

How To Pray For Your Husband: Join Our Patron Team -> marriageaftergod.com/patron Join Our Free Daily Prayer Email -> marriageprayerchallenge.com Buy Our Best Selling Prayer Books -> shop.marriageaftergod.com Oswald Chambers once said, “We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.” Often times we pray in the midst of our despair, when we have exhausted all of our own wisdom and strength. When we don’t know what else to do. We finally humble ourselves and go to the one we hope will deliver us from the storm. What would our marriages look like and experience if we committed to a habit of prayer, surrendering to the Lord before any storm, listening to Him and letting Him lead us day in and day out, with our eyes set on Him? Dear Lord, Thank You for our marriage. Thank you for the special relationship we get to experience and cult by Marriage After God
