The show opened with news of a bomb threat in Tarzana and a rundown of rising costs in Los Angeles—parking fees, trash, LADWP bills, and now even marriage licenses. A heartwarming story followed as a California dog was reunited with its owner after being found in Chicago, sparking talk about how the pup got there and whether dogs are on the verge of “speaking.” Later, conversation turned to DoorDash rolling out new delivery robots, and the show wrapped with a push to sign up for the Morongo event via @Conwayshow social media. 

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee sit down with Sammy and Chandler to tackle one of the most important topics in marriage—how to handle conflict in a healthy, God-honoring way. From the “Four Horsemen” of relationship conflict—criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling—to the power of empathy and self-awareness, the conversation is packed with wisdom for every couple.Drawing from Ephesians 4:2–3, they explore how humility, patience, and gentleness are key to resolving disagreements without damaging connection. The group also discusses how tools like StrengthsFinder can help us better understand both our own tendencies and our spouse's, aligning beautifully with Proverbs 20:5: “The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.”This honest, practical, and often humorous discussion will inspire you to approach conflict not as a battlefield—but as an opportunity for growth, grace, and deeper intimacy.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?

Today I want to talk to you about the power of your example. Humans, and especially children, are observational learners. Children learn how to speak to each other, treat others, show affection (or not), forgive (or not) by watching us and by watching how we lead our children. They learn what values and morals to hold by noticing what is and isn't important to us. They learn how to love God by watching us – not by doing religion from a book everyday. Children learn far more from watching what we do than from what we say. Your example is your most powerful parenting tool.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

The bride is longingly looking for her bridegroom in the night and suddenly finds him to her great delight, in a scene very reminiscent of Mary Magdalene searching for Jesus after His resurrection. The wedding procession begins and includes imagery reminiscent of the LORD's protection of His people as they journeyed through the wilderness to the Promised Land. As the bridegroom looks upon his bride, he praises her beauty, recognizing his wife as God's gift to him in marriage.  Rev. Andrew Belt, pastor at Christ Lutheran Church in Marshfield, WI, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Song of Solomon 3:1-4:7.  To learn more about Christ Lutheran, visit christmarshfield.org. “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage. Although the world is terribly confused concerning what marriage is, God's Word reveals how good a gift marriage truly is and points us to the relationship between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Church, the Bride.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Fr. Mike summarizes the final moments of the book of Nehemiah, when Nehemiah returns to find the people of Israel being unfaithful to God's commandments and marrying foreign wives. Fr. Mike connects this to our lives, as we too often confuse God's unending love for us to mean that he always wants what we want.Today's readings are Nehemiah 13, Malachi 1-4, and Proverbs 21: 25-28.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly, for a deeply honest and soulful conversation about evolution, alignment, and faith in both life and business. Samantha shares how her journey as an entrepreneur has transformed into a spiritual assignment—one rooted in artistry, service, and surrender. We talk about what it means to evolve past old versions of success, let go of what no longer feels aligned, and allow business to become a living, breathing expression of who you truly are. We also dive into the importance of slowing down, receiving support, and making peace with change. Samantha opens up about the role faith and prayer have played in her life, her return to her Christian roots, and how she's learned to invite God into her business decisions. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your evolution is sacred, your alignment is your greatest strategy, and peace comes when you finally trust that you are exactly where you're meant to be.

And so no matter if it's relationships, business, what have you, if there's something that just keeps being that spiritual sandpaper for you, you've gotta really ask yourself like, what am I tolerating here? And just simply put, raise the standard.” - Julie Solomon  “  I couldn't see a pathway of it being something else. And I think I had an ego layering on that because my ego was like, “well, surely we can't simplify because then the revenue will drop, and if the revenue drops, then we're not gonna continually grow. And what's that gonna do?” So I had to love fiercely, the part of me that was trying to take over by telling me to keep scaling and what I mean by that is like, not destroy it, not cut it off, not badmouth it, but just love the little girl inside of me that's like, “I wanna keep growing. What if I don't? Who am I gonna upset?” - Samantha Skelly  RESOURCES:

Kate's story is one of deep transformation through Christ. From childhood, she carried the wounds of rejection and exposure to things no child should face. After her parents' divorce, she sought approval in relationships and substances, not realizing she was really searching for the love of God.   When her marriage began to crumble, Kate discovered that her husband had become an idol in her life. In her brokenness, she surrendered fully to Jesus, and that is when everything changed. Today, Kate shares how God healed her heart, gave her a new identity in Him, and is teaching her to trust Him with her marriage.   Her testimony will encourage you to stop striving, release control, and trust the Lord with every part of your life. As you listen, you'll be reminded that God heals hurting homes by first transforming one heart at a time.   Monthly Scripture Journaling   The Spiritual Journey Toward a Healed Marriage   Follow on Instagram -@rejoicemarriageministries   Follow on Facebook - @rejoicemarriageministries   Every day, you can receive encouragement straight to your inbox through our Fight for Your Marriage Devotional and find free resources and prayers to pray over your marriage.

Although the bride sees herself as one flower among many, Solomon views his beloved as the only one for him. He protects her from the dangers that their love faces as he sets a feast for her. The union that exists between the bride and the bridegroom is one in which they belong to each other and share all that they have. Through their relationship, we see a picture of the way Christ makes His Church lovely and bestows upon her all that is His.  Rev. Matt Ulmer, pastor at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church--Friedheim, just outside Decatur, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Song of Solomon 2:1-17.  To learn more about Zion Lutheran, visit zionfriedheim.org. “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage.

Join us as we explore God's design for men and women in marriage. When men step into their God-given calling—leading with love, humility, and strength—it creates an environment where women can feel safe, secure, honored, and deeply loved. This frees wives to fully embrace who God has called them to be. Together, we'll unpack what it looks like for husbands to walk in their role and how that opens the door for wives to flourish in theirs, leading to stronger, Christ-centered marriages.Master marital communication: https://speak.fiercemarriage.comTake the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge: https://31daypursuit.comPray for your spouse with intention: https://40prayers.comTo learn more about becoming a Christian, visit: https://thenewsisgood.comThis ministry is entirely listener-supported.

What if that golden cage you're sitting in was never locked? What if all that “God's will” rhetoric was just fear cosplaying as holiness? In this episode, I tell you a story, a simple one with birds, bars, and just enough metaphorical mic drops to wake up the part of you that's been sedated by religious gaslighting. Buckle up, buttercup. It's time to talk about freedom.This isn't just another chirpy motivational talk. It's a truth-telling, cage-rattling invitation to examine the lies we've been fed about safety, love, and obedience, especially in the name of God. You were made to fly, not decorate someone else's spiritual furniture.Key Takeaways:The cage was never locked. You've been conditioned to think you're choosing it, but that choice was built on fear, not freedom.That “protection” they sold you? It's control in disguise. And the house full of golden cages? It's not a sanctuary. It's a system designed to keep you small, scared, and obedient.Even your longing has been demonized. Longing is labeled sin. Discontent? A character flaw. But maybe it's your soul whispering, “There's more.”Freedom is risky, but it's real. There are storms and hawks and hard days out there. But there's also wind, sky, stars, and the exhilaration of living unchained.Jesus doesn't lock cages. He flings those suckers open and says, “Come on out, sister. It's time.”Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:If today's episode resonated with you, here are some others you may find helpful: “From Trapped to Free in 30 Days” and “Praying for a Miracle—When the Miracle Might Be You Walking Away.”

“With always wanting to do the right things, take care of people, and people please, this set me up perfectly to be an all-in member. Doing the formula. Hustling! I was married in the temple to a returned missionary, had 4 children, and did everything I could to be a good, righteous LDS woman,” explains Lindsie Cornia. Those lines might be the beginning of a million stories in our church, but if there's one thing to be learned from ALSSI, it's that every woman's path is unique and evolving. So what happened next? In Episode 238, Susan and Cynthia have a conversation with Lindsie about all of it: where she started, where she's been, how it's going, what she knows—or doesn't—and how she looks at things now.

What do you do when intimacy and connection in your marriage start to fade? How can you rekindle the spark, or better yet, keep it burning strong? In this episode, we talk about practical and biblical ways to nurture intimacy in all its forms. When you intentionally protect and prioritize closeness with your spouse, you not only build a marriage you truly enjoy, but you also guard your relationship against the dangers of emotional affairs.   Episode Highlights: Identify the different types of intimacy shared within marriage. The wholeness of your marriage matters. All forms of intimacy must be invested in. Boundaries keep your marriage protected.    Quotes from this episode: Your sex life is a thermometer, not a thermostat—it reflects the health of your relationship, but it can't set it.   When couples neglect emotional and spiritual intimacy, their physical relationship becomes hollow—a beautiful house with no foundation. Sooner or later, the cracks will show.   Without emotional intimacy, sex loses its power to truly bond you together. Without spiritual intimacy, you miss God's vision for marriage—a reflection of Christ and the Church.   If you wouldn't say, do, or share it with your spouse present, don't do it. That's your boundary—protect it fiercely.   If you have nothing to hide, living transparently should be easy—openness is the glue of trust in marriage.   Couple's Conversation Guide: When you think about intimacy in your marriage, which type (physical, emotional, spiritual, or relational closeness) feels the strongest right now? Which could use more attention? How do you personally feel most connected to me—through words, actions, time together, or something else? What boundaries do we need to set (personally and as a couple) to guard our marriage against the threat of emotional affairs? What's one thing you'd love for us to do together that would bring more joy, fun, or connection into our marriage? Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!

If you've ever laid awake wondering whether to fight for your marriage or finally let go, this episode will feel like a lifeline. Relationship expert and master life coach Sharon Pope joins Wendy to unpack the midlife “stay or go” dilemma: why so many women feel emotionally alone in marriage, how disconnection happens (and how to repair it), and what it really takes to find peace with your decision.   You'll hear compassionate, practical guidance on renegotiating your relationship as you evolve, using separation strategically (not as limbo), clearing mental clutter to access your inner wisdom, and why “fine” isn't the life you're here to live. We also explore the fear of the unknown, the impact on kids at every age, and Sharon's path from confusion to clarity—plus next steps if you're ready for Marriage 2.0 or to “Divorce Differently.”   What You'll Learn Why midlife marriages often drift into disconnection—and how to rebuild connection How to tell if it's you, your partner, or the circumstances causing the distance The power of renegotiating your marriage as you evolve How to clear mental clutter and access clarity about staying or going Why separation can be a healthy reset, not a failure How to find peace—whether you choose Marriage 2.0 or Divorce Differently  

In this episode of More Than Roommates, Derek, Gabrielle, and Scott have a candid, biblical conversation about the “sexless marriage”—why it happens, how pornography, busyness, medical issues, and poor communication play a role, and what couples can do to rebuild connection. They offer practical steps so you can move from roommates back to one-flesh intimacy. Questions to Discuss: 1. In our season right now, does sex feel more like a thermometer (just reporting our temperature) or a thermostat (able to change it)? Why?2. When was the last time we each felt truly pursued and enjoyed by the other? What specific actions helped?3. What would make it safer for us to share desires, preferences, and fears about sex?4. How can we renew the covenant this week in a way that is tender, unhurried, and mutually honoring? Scriptures:Ephesians 4:271 Corinthians 7:3-5 Resources:Book - Secrets of Sex and Marriage: 8 Surprises That Make All the Difference by Shaunti Feldhahn & Michael SytsmaArticle – The Sex RecessionBook – Reconnected – Greg & Erin SmalleyMore Than Roommates Interviews with Juli Slattery – Surrendered Sexuality & Sexual Abuse

What if the fastest way to a stronger marriage isn't compromise, but better teamwork? After celebrating a number-one Amazon launch, I took a hard look at what actually helped us get there—clear roles, honest communication, and a shared commitment to play the same game on the same side. The result is a practical, story-rich guide to treating marriage like the ultimate team sport, with four moves you can use tonight.I start by reframing “opposites” as assets: the planner and the risk-taker, the night owl and the early bird, the introvert and the extrovert. Instead of fighting to be the same, I show how to deploy differences like positions on the field so your team covers more ground with less friction. Then I talk about offense and defence, who pushes the ball forward in finances, fun, and intimacy, and who protects the goal with boundaries, savings, and rest, so you can balance initiative with stability without making it personal.From there, I dig into communication that actually works: daily 20-minute huddles to align priorities, weekly date nights for team bonding, and a yearly strategy getaway to recalibrate goals. I dismantle the mind-reading myth with real scripts for clear asks, and break down why keeping score breeds rivalry while an us-vs-problem mindset restores momentum. You'll hear candid examples, from celebrating wins to handling those “seams” where balls drop and leave with a simple weekly challenge to spot, name, and thank each other's strengths.If you're ready to stop arguing about who's right and start winning together, this episode gives you the plays, the language, and the mindset to build a championship marriage. Bad Marriage Advice is now an Amazon #1 Best Seller.

How seductive is sex to a relationship?  "Love, Lies, and Libidos" author Stephanie Todd stops by to talk about her new book, how she got ensnared in a sexual trap, why women need to feel liberated, getting outside your comfort zone, ignoring red flags, and much, much more!

The Song of Solomon was likely written by King Solomon early in his reign. Despite the way his wives multiplied later in life, Solomon's song speaks of the joy of marriage between one man and one woman. As the bride and the bridegroom speak to one another, they await with joy their coming marriage and praise the excellent qualities of each other. Throughout the Song, the love between Solomon and his bride provides a picture of the love that exists between Christ and His Church.  Rev. David Boisclair, pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Song of Solomon 1:1-17.  To learn more about Our Redeemer Lutheran, visit ourredeemerstl.org. “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage. Although the world is terribly confused concerning what marriage is, God's Word reveals how good a gift marriage truly is and points us to the relationship between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Church, the Bride.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

When things go wrong in our relationships, we often try to change the way our partners behave. But usually, trying to fix a person only makes things worse. Last week, we talked to psychologist James Cordova about why this tendency can be so damaging, and what to do instead. This week, we explore another difficult but effective way to strengthen our relationships. Then, on Your Questions Answered, we bring back researcher Victor Strecher, who studies purpose. Vic spoke with us in June about the death of his daughter, and how it changed his own outlook on purpose. That conversation, which was called "You 2.0: What Is Your Life For?" had a powerful impact on many listeners. We'll hear Vic's responses to their thoughts and questions. What have you learned about changing your partner in the course of your relationship? Have you come up with ways to accept your partner's flaws? If you have questions or comments for James Cordova, and you'd be willing to share with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a short voice memo on your phone and email it to us at ideas@hiddenbrain.org. Use the subject line "acceptance." Thanks! The Hidden Brain tour is continuing, with our next stops just a few days away! Join us in Baltimore on October 11 or Washington, D.C. on October 12 to see Shankar live on stage. We'll also be in Los Angeles on November 22, and more dates in 2026 are coming soon.
