We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. Lamoris and Megan Crawford return for a candid, humorous, and deeply insightful conversation about keeping the spark alive in marriage through busy seasons, kids, and ministry demands.The Crawfords don't hold back as they share their family hierarchy—God first, spouse second, kids third, then ministry—and how this ordering has sustained their relationship for almost two decades. "We found that as kids exit the homes, the spouses didn't stay connected," Lamoris explains, highlighting why prioritizing your marriage isn't selfish but essential.Things get particularly interesting (and yes, a bit spicy!) when they discuss their innovative "package system" for communicating intimate expectations. Their honest approach to the different ways men and women experience connection creates both laugh-out-loud moments and profound realizations about meeting each other's needs.For couples struggling or feeling their marriage hanging by a thread, the Crawfords offer transformative wisdom about agape love. "Most of us don't understand the kind of love that God loves us with," Megan shares, challenging listeners to exhaust themselves in loving their spouse before considering other options.Whether you're newly married or decades in, this conversation delivers practical tools, spiritual insights, and the permission to laugh at the beautiful mess that is marriage. You'll walk away with strategies for communication, intimacy, and remembering why you fell in love in the first place. Their journey from Cincinnati to their new role as chaplains for the Carolina Panthers shows how a marriage centered on covenant can impact not just a family but entire communities.JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. From the projects of Chicago to the cornfields of rural America, Lamoris and Megan Crawford's love story defies cultural expectations while illuminating the transformative power of covenant marriage. Their journey began at Olivet Nazarene University where two worlds collided – his marked by inner-city hardship and her steeped in traditional religious values that initially rejected their relationship.What makes their story extraordinary isn't just their diverse backgrounds, but their unwavering commitment to honor God's process. For three and a half years, Lamoris faithfully called Megan's father asking permission to date his daughter, receiving "no" after "no" until a divinely orchestrated breakthrough. The moment Megan's father tearfully asked forgiveness for his racism and acknowledged Lamoris's Christlike character became the foundation for not just their relationship, but a generational healing that continues today.The Crawfords now lead Covenant Culture, a marriage ministry born from their experiences as NFL chaplains with the Cincinnati Bengals. They challenge the prevailing contract mentality of modern relationships with a profound truth: "You die to get in and you die to get out." Their teaching that "God created marriage to make us holy, not happy" reframes the entire purpose of matrimony, revealing how true happiness emerges from obedience rather than self-fulfillment.Drawing on their powerful personal testimony and ministry experience, the Crawfords identify pride as the root of most marital struggles – whether manifesting as superiority or self-pity. Their story demonstrates how patient obedience to God's process can transform not just a relationship, but entire family legacies, breaking cycles of racism and establishing new foundations of faith.Don't miss part two next week where we'll explore more marriage wisdom and some lighter moments as the Crawfords answer some spicy questions! If their story has touched you, please share this episode with someone who might benefit from hearing about the power of covenant marriage.JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/

The NFL may be the pinnacle of professional sports in the United States. An NFL athlete must be well-trained to reach such a high level. We tend to look up to these athletes and assume they have their life “all together.” Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether you are an NFL superstar or a kid from the southside of Chicago; you will get stuck once or twice in your life. LaMorris Crawford knows about both of these worlds. LaMorris grew up in gangs on the south side of Chicago. He went from experiencing a life of poverty to where he is now, hanging out with professional athletes as an NFL Chaplain and Marriage and Family Pastor at Relentless Church in South Carolina. In this episode of Learned Opportunity, LaMorris shares his experience helping professional athletes get unstuck so they can have better marriages and lives. If LaMorris can help NFL players from the Cincinnati Bengals meet their potential, then he has some best practices to help you get unstuck so that you can start creating opportunities.

But when Megan met LaMorris at a Christian college, she fell in love. Her parents, however, did not. They didn't have to meet him, he was black and that was enough.

Born into a life defined by poverty and crime, LaMorris Crawford had a pretty tough childhood. The orphaned son of a teenage mother, LaMorris looked for anything he could find to numb his pain. Sports, popularity, drugs — all the coping mechanisms available to a poor young kid were not enough. All of that changed when LaMorris had a radical encounter with Jesus. Once a poor kid with little hope for a future, he now works as a traveling evangelist and the chaplain for the Cincinnati Bengals. LaMorris joins Davey to talk about his story of transformation, how he's finding redemption in the worst aspects of his own history, and some of the chances he's had to share the hope he's found with others.

Problems don’t change, unless you change them. LaMorris Crawford grew up with his grandmother, my mother was murdered and I was in a gang by 12 and selling crack cocaine by the age of 14.. “I was doing those things to fill a void in my life, and the void only got bigger… Sports was my outlet.” After seeing someone change for 3 years, LaMorris gave his life to Christ when he was 19. At 16, he didn’t need God, or so he thought. Now as a sport’s chaplain for the Cincinnati Bengal’s, LaMorris works with the team sharing the gospel. “You’re not born with character, it’s taught and developed… Part of humility, and compassion, is paying for a single mother’s laundry. It’s all about making other people important.” We are made in his likeness, his image, and have the spirit of God in us. Expose your heart, mind, and spirit to the word. Develop a HUNGER for God’s word and run your race.
