| Ep 205 - How Can My Marriage Survive Sexual Betrayal? | 23 avr. 2025 | 00:32:35 | |
It’s easy to believe that infidelity leaves only one option: divorce. But through personal experience, we’ve seen that healing and restoration are possible when you invite God into the broken places of your marriage.
In this episode, we’re joined by Kallista Sanchez, author of Forgiving What the World Says You Shouldn’t: Releasing the Chains of Bitterness in Unequally Yoked Marriages.
This conversation won’t offer a quick fix or a formula to erase the pain. Instead, it will encourage you to see how walking through trials—and choosing forgiveness—can become a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, and redemption through Jesus Christ.

| Ep 192 - Debunking Marriage Myths with Julie Baumgardner | 23 oct. 2024 | 00:48:54 | |
Whether you are standing for a marriage to be restored or living with your spouse, it is essential never to stop asking God to change you as an individual and as a couple so you can be more like Jesus in every season.
One way to change is to stop believing the lies of marriage myths. Some of these myths may have even played a role in the breakdown of your marriage. We’ve all likely heard comments like “happy couples do everything together” or “children should come first.” While many believe these examples to be sound relationship advice, these myths actually do more harm than good.
Our guest, Julie Baumgardner shares common marriage myths and how to debunk them.

We have been focusing on forgiveness lately in recent episodes and want to continue that topic. Have you ever wondered if your spouse is worthy of your forgiveness? “If God can forgive me for the things I have done, I can forgive my husband and fight for my marriage.” Lori, a woman who is standing for the healing of her marriage, spoke those powerful words.
As Lori, a stander in Georgia, shared her testimony publicly, she reminded herself of why she decided to fight for her marriage. We can forgive just as we have been forgiven. This flashback episode will strengthen your resolve to forgive your spouse and encourage you to pray for your marriage to be all God wants. | |||
