The Mix-Up Marriage Podcast

We can never please people no matter how hard we try. The main thing that matters is to please and honor God in all we do.

We talk about tithing and how God has placed us in a church to be rooted so we are tithing again. And we talk about when we started learning how to drive and when we teach are kids to drive.

Today we are talking about what's happen at Asbury college. We will give our thoughts on it as a pastor/leader with bible. 

If you're married should you still ask your spouse if they can be your Valentine? I surprised Angie with roses.  And don't just show love/that you care for someone just on holidays but daily. We also talk no matter where you are at in your maturity in God and relationship keep your heart open to always learn.  Have Godly accountably to grow closer in God. And we ask the big question for the married couples is it required to have sex on Valentine's Day?

Hey guys!! We know it's been a while so first we want to say is happy New Year!!We hope and pray that everyone is doing well. We started this podcast in Feb of 2021 in obedience of what God told us to do. This show we are giving ya'll an update of everything that has been going on for the past couple of months.  

We have special guest in the building today, for our last show of the year we are joined  with our kids. Talking about the up coming holidays, what they are excited for, their days at school and much more. We hope all of our listeners have a great and safe holiday we love you all.

Shout out to our listener Lonelle! We share about our time at Ethan's piano recital and then talk about the best music for workouts. Finally we remember back to a moment, like Angie had never experienced before and her reaction.

This was fun episode with a variety of topics. What does God say about your shopping? Let us know in the comments. Thanks for listening!

We talked about Love is Blind season 3 which segued into how when God shines a light on a believers heart how we need to do inventory and make the changes that He wants us to. For us to bear fruit for God, first He will cut/separate things from us for we can receive more of Him. We can make our traditions or personal preference greater than the essentials of the faith. If it's not a non negotiable of the faith we should not let our opinions, denominations, how a person/group of people worship God, etc bring division in our heart and to the body of Christ (the church). But in love come together and learn from each other to bring strength and unity for Gods glory.

Enjoy pt2 

In this episode we discuss the importance of those in leadership maintaining their own relationship with God as they direct others in discipleship.  Also, we talk about allowing God to direct each persons one on one time with Him. Having our own plans limit God's space to move. 

We talk about the fight within ourselves and how the negative voice within us can tells us that we our not good enough or how we can compare ourselves to others. We have to allow God, through His Word for us to know our value and worth in Him. Let us not find validation in others, but in Him. And don't be too hard on yourself and be ok with the way God made you.

So this was an emotional episode to record. We start from the beginning of how God was speaking to our hearts and the process of it all. Also when we believe God is telling us to do something that we do it in order with our spouse and leadership. And always thank you all for listing and your support.

We talk about what we believe God has given us a heart for ministry.  #1 is overall helping believers edify and grow in their relationship with Jesus. #2 Helping leaders and #3 Helping marriages. This episode we talk about supporting marriages and that there is more to it than the wedding day.  We pray that this helps everyone who listens.

What is spiritual maturity and how do you get to that place? And do a title mean that you're at a mature place?  Or is it more than just having a title/position? How to correctly handle disagreements/heated conversations in marriage, but also you can apply this in any relationship.

What's up Mixers this episode was fun. This week Ethan passed his swimming test at the pool. And I realized that everyone in our household knows how to swim and the topic came up of the stereotype of black people don't like going to the pool, beach etc. Or black people don't know how to swim. So we started thinking where did that come from and how come that saying has been associated with the black community? Also this Sunday is Fathers Day, so I gave a shout on air to a lot of the Fathers I know (if I missed anyone I apologize I didn't plan to do that) and how important it is for a  father who is living for Jesus is supposed to live as an example to his family and honoring God in everything that he do.

This episode we talk about black sayings, when we got married how to understand what we are talking about. Also how I have reckless and Angie and the kids don't.
