As we finish out this series on marital basics and skills, we're discussing the topics of sex and intimacy. The trouble most couples face in this area stems from a misunderstanding of the very nature of their sex life as a couple and the fact that it is, in fact, an area where you're meant to grow and explore and figure out over your lifetimes together.

It's vital to think clearly about how you provide for your family. How solvent is it during these uncertain times? It's forced vaccinations now, but there will be more challenges coming. Isaac takes you through his process for discovering your own best work path that aligns with how God made you. In addition, he gives numerous examples to stimulate your thinking about what you could pursue. We should never have to sacrifice our convictions for our provision.

Few topics ruffle feathers like biblical roles, especially when you talk about ideas like headship and submission in marriage.

You may have heard the biblical idea that "two became one flesh" when they get married. But what does that mean functionally?

Identity is everything these days. Ideas, politics, gender expressions, race, and sexual orientation, and countless other variables all have one thing in common in today's culture: they can be your identity if you want... and no one can tell you otherwise. The holy grail of our culture is being able to actualize your most ideal self at any cost and through whatever means necessary. But this ability has come at a staggering cost: truth itself has lost its meaning, and this trend has eroded our understanding of marriage and being married people, even among Christians. This episode is the first in our 5-week series on Identity. Today we talked about the identity of marriage itself, and in the coming weeks we will discuss our identity as "us", biblical gender roles, and more. We hope it blesses you a lot and challenges you as much as necessary. Stay fierce! ALSO: Our new marriage learning project ~~Gospel Centered Marriage~~ is open for enrollment!

This is a struggle every couple understands. How do we maintain healthy boundaries with relatives, especially when those relatives (though well-meaning oftentimes) are difficult to be around? How do we graciously communicate when boundaries have been breached? And what do we do to "hold the line" when they refuse to respect healthy boundaries? In this episode we dove deep into what the Bible has to say about family relationships and looked at ways we can love honor our parents (and other family members) without compromising our convictions or values in the process.
