The truth is that you make time for what you prioritize, and that plays out in your spiritual, emotional, and physical health, along with your marriage.
You have to create space for connection because the distractions will always be there! The enemy uses the same playbook with all of us, and if he can't deceive us or destroy us, he will settle for keeping us distracted from what really matters in life. DON'T FALL FOR IT!
We challenge you to take a good hard look at how this is creeping into areas of your own life, and then pray over those around you to see clearly and to not leave any opportunity for the enemy to flourish.

In the book, "Extreme Ownership," by Jock Willink he quotes, "It's not what you preach, it's what you tolerate."
This caused us both to take a good hard look at ourselves, and areas in our life where this has had an impact. The reality is that what you tolerate...dominates.
Challenge for this week is to look inward at what you are tolerating individually, in your marriage, spiritually and how that is impacting the direction your life is taking.

So often, fear can take us down a road that leaves us crippled, trying to be prepared for all scenarios and in control. But that control is an illusion, and instead fear ends up robbing us of our present, and of our future.
Stand in God's truth for your life and have confidence in who He is and what He can do.

The reality is that every marriage faces stress, and the first responder world has some additional stressors to navigate. HOW you navigate those, who you turn to, your relationship with Christ, how you listen, how you die to self, and how you handle the adrenaline rush will determine the direction of your marriage. Don't be a statistic. You are easily replaceable in your job but not in your home.

We were so honored to have our daughter on this episode as she shares what saying yes to God has done in your life.
There were so many truths that emerged throughout this conversation for your faith, life, and marriage. When God asks you to say yes to something, don't practice delayed obedience, and when He asks you to let go, don't hold on.
Life is a series of these decisions and God's grace is evident in how He reveals each next step. Follow His peace, His voice, and His Word. Don't settle...

This is a discussion we had never had before this episode.
We openly wrestle through what it looks like to hold both joy and pain together at the same time, and allow you to hear the perspective of both of us and what it looked like to navigate through the first year after our breach in trust.
Ultimately, we encourage you to lean into a perspective that changes the outlook of your future and not to let the pain override the promise.

There are many things that can create obstacles to great sex in your marriage. These include your memories, communication, past trauma, libido, age, changes, stressors, insecurities, and addiction. There are many obstacles, but there is such hope! God can redeem, heal, and restore this area.
Don't let anything stop you from reclaiming ground in this area and doing what it takes to get help, whether that requires counseling, coaching, getting hormones aligned, stepping out of your comfort zone, or vulnerability.

We navigated a lot of topics on this episode that impact your faith and marriage, including what it looks like to live when someone isn't willing or wanting to pursue Christ, and whether you have the ability to mess up God's plan.
Here are some practical things discussed that you CAN do to stay in God's will and show Jesus to your spouse.
Pray Seek Jesus' will and lay yours down Move when He says to move and stay where He tells you to stay. Let go of what He tells you to let go of. Remember, delayed obedience is disobedience. Represent Jesus in your home, and to your spouse. Live authentic faith.As always, we want to hear from you.

We loved getting to know Kelsi and Ryan and to have an opportunity to hear their hearts for helping others navigate through loss and grief. There are principles throughout their story that can be applied to any season of life.
The Cole family is a beautiful trio in their photo, but behind the scenes, they hold a story of tremendous loss, resilience, and faith. Their journey together began in 2010 with a shared desire for a Godly marriage. Through the trials of miscarriage and stillbirth, they discovered the necessity of continually leaning into Jesus.
Now, through their work at Foreknown Ministries, Kelsi and Ryan create, coach, and connect people to Jesus after pregnancy and infant loss. They know that it’s only through Jesus that they are still married and help others see the Light in difficult situations. Their “hope line” for people to text who are experiencing pregnancy or infant loss is 719-626-8486You can find out more information about their ministry: www.foreknownministries.org

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
This verse talks about the physical aspect of laying down your life for someone else, and that's part of it, but Christ laid down His life sacrificially long before He did it physically. What does this mean for you and for your marriage? How could this shift your perspective, change your behavior, and impact the dynamic of your home?
This doesn't mean you avoid the difficult topics, shove things down, or don't address what needs to be changed, but it does mean you stop keeping score, and start addressing the motive of your heart.

The longer you know someone, the more you begin to assume things in your relationship. Often, you walk away from conversations with takeaways that were never said because of someone's tone, their body language, and previous experiences.
These assumptions kill curiosity. We want to encourage you to stay curious in your marriage, to commit to growing, and to commit to knowing what is changing and has changed in your spouse. Always chase after Christ and allow Him to refine how you communicate, love, and serve one another.

Does compromise really ensure happiness in marriage, or instead does it encourage you to lay down parts of yourself that you shouldn't? Does it encourage you to start keeping a tallying score of what has been lost and what you need to gain back?
Or, in essence, is it sacrifice that really ensures that a marriage thrives? Isn't this how Christ calls us to love in Romans 12:1-2, and Ephesians 5:22-29.

This past week we had the opportunity to reflect on the power of an invitation, the changing of seasons, and the inevitability of change.
How we handle these moments and how we choose to grow as an individual and in marriage determines so much. Don't let obstacles such as perfectionism, expectations, or fear stop you from leaving one season behind and approaching another, or from inviting people into your life to learn from and to mentor.
Learn to pray, pivot, and grow with one another, and let God determine your steps.

What does this look in life, and how do you do these things when facing some level of hurt or betrayal?
Join us for this in depth conversation and real-life examples of how we navigated this in our own life and marriage.
We want to encourage you that you ALWAYS have hope in your future because of who Jesus is and what He has done. No matter what your marriage may be facing, you have a Savior who beckons to you.
Lean into Him, and surrender your spouse to Him. Click below for commentary regarding the verses we discussed in this episode.

Irritability, unmet expectations, and failures have a HUGE impact on marriage.
Work hard to recognize what physical, spiritual, and emotional factors contribute to both your own, and your spouse's stress and irritability. Learn to ask questions and to meet them where they are at, such as are you looking for assurance, understanding, or a solution? Learn to effectively communicate what you are looking for, and be willing to offer your spouse the emotional support they need, regardless of whether you understand the issue or not.
Do you hold record of wrongs? Are you a sniper ready and willing to go on the attack anytime something is brought up? Have you considered that you, and your spouse, will never grow past the things you can't heal from. This doesn't mean you forget, but it releases the payment required of someone else. Just as Jesus has done for you, do for others.
Prepare in advance, learn what expectations are healthy, what needs to be laid down, and learn how to love those around you as Christ loves us. Keep what matters at the forefront and let go of what doesn't matter. We hope this Thanksgiving and Christmas season are filled with new memories made with those you love, and a reflection of just how much Jesus has done for you.

Love does not boast, it is not proud. 1st Corinthians 13:4-7 describes how we are called to love, not just in our marriage, but in our lives.
Psychology today says, "We tend to think of people who boast as arrogant, self-preoccupied, or, perhaps, insecure, which may be why they need to boast in the first place. Pride, on the other hand, is generally defined as a feeling of self-respect and personal worth or a feeling of satisfaction with one's own (or another's) achievements."
We have found that pride has destroyed so much in our own lives, and how it continues to creep in unsuspected in different areas. Boasting as well, can place people on a pedestal, or keep them feeling less than in your relationships, and it ultimately has a negative impact on you and your marriage.
Every person needs to take a good hard look at these verses, how it effects you, and ask the question, what is love demanding of you?If you want additional information about our 2 day Marriage Reboots, Coaching, Speaking Events, or Resources...please go and visit our website @https://www.unrelentingpursuit.org.
