In this program, Chip stresses the devastating impact unresolved conflict has on a marriage. Every marriage will eventually face struggles and arguments over four key areas:RolesIn-lawsMoneySexFighting lies with truthLie #9:Getting help for our marriage from a counselor or a mentor is for losers. We should be able to figure this out on our own, and besides, we don't want to broadcast our problems.The truth:Every great athlete, artist, and business executive knows the value of a COACH. We all get stuck on occasion and need help to work through the issues we can't see for ourselves.Key verse:1 Peter 5:5Lie #10 (for women):All he cares about is work and sports. I feel like I'm left to do all the work of raising our kids and taking care of our home. I wonder sometimes if he even cares.The truth:Men default to areas where they feel confident. Your husband has fears and insecurities about being a SPIRITUAL LEADER and EFFECTIVE FATHER. Criticism and disrespect will heighten those fears and push him away.Key verse:1 Peter 3:1-2Lie #11 (for men):All my wife cares about is the kids and the calendar. Our sex life is on life support because she's always tired or making excuses. Sometimes I wonder if she even cares.The truth:Women default to areas where they feel confident. Your wife has fears and insecurities about her VALUE, IDENTITY, and physical ATTRACTIVENESS. Sarcasm about sex, her looks, or her preoccupation with the kids will only reinforce her feelings of inadequacy.Key verse:Ephesians 5:28-29Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsMarriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

No one is immune to that.” “I want you to fail … because it is the only way that provides the opportunity to learn.” “If you do something right, you didn't learn a thing.

Marriage doesn't change who someone is—it only reveals more of what's already inside.
Dr. Edith Davis takes listeners beyond the fundamental laws of faith and confession to reveal the essential secret to walking in the full manifestation of God's finished work: Intimacy. While fundamental principles like confession, forgiveness, and avoiding offense are necessary "guardrails," they are not the "end game." Dr. Davis challenges listeners to move from simple knowledge and religious activity to a profound, personal relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Key Components for Manifestation: -- It's a Finished Work, But People Are Still Perishing: God has already provided everything, but a lack of intimacy and knowledge is causing God's people to die "like mere men." -- Intimacy is the Essence: A "real relationship" with God is the missing link. This is not just "devotional time," but a devoted life where the Lord is the first thought in the morning and the last at night. -- Jesus Looks for Fruit, Not Just Gifts: Spiritual gifts (preaching, teaching, healing) are important, but Jesus judges by the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, etc.). Principles work for anyone, but only a relationship results in God's endorsement. -- The Hebrew Word Yada: In the warning "Depart from me, for I never knew you," the word "knew" is the intimate Hebrew word yada, emphasizing that a lack of intimacy is treated as "iniquity." -- Faithfulness and Stewardship: Dr. Davis ties intimacy to faithfulness, highlighting that God trusts those who are good stewards of their resources (time, money, talents) and who are willing to use their wealth for the Kingdom's commission of making disciples worldwide. Scriptures for Further Study -- Proverbs 18:21 (Life and death is in the power of the tongue) -- Matthew 7:20 (By their fruits you will know them) -- Matthew 6:33 (Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness) -- Revelation 3:20 (Implied context of Jesus knocking at the door/not knowing Him) -- Matthew 25:14-30 (Parable of the Talents/Stewardship) -- Romans 10:9 (Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart) This is episode 374. +++++++ Check out my new website: https://www.enterthegloryzone.org/ MY AUDIO BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE You can Divorce Proof Your Marriage by understanding the Secret Keys of Love.

When tackling an important project, it is natural to want to divide all the tasks fairly, so everyone shares the responsibilities and weight of the job. However, in this program, Chip Ingram cautions that while that strategy may be successful in the workplace, it often causes stress, burnout, and resentment at home. Hear what God's Word says about an all-in partnership with your spouse, that is deeply rewarding and life-giving.Fighting lies with truthLie #6:Marriage is a 50-50 proposition. As long as everyone does their part everything will be okay.The truth:Marriage is a 100%-100% proposition. It is an UNCONDITIONAL commitment to an imperfect person. It's giving the other person what they need the MOST, when they DESERVE it the least, at great PERSONAL COST.Key verse:John 13:34-35Lie #7:Marriage shouldn't be this difficult. No matter how hard I work it seems like we always have issues to work through. I really wonder if it's worth it.The truth:Everything of great value requires COMMITMENT, SACRIFICE, and PERSEVERANCE. As my spouse and I face challenges and overcome them, our intimacy and joy will far outweigh our present problems.Key verse:Galatians 6:9Lie #8:I've tried hard to make this marriage work, but it's too far gone. God wants me to be happy and I know He'll understand if I get a divorce.The truth:God HATES divorce. No marriage is beyond repair. If Jesus can raise the dead, He can certainly RESURRECT my marriage.Key verse:Malachi 2:16Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsMarriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

Do you and your partner keep circling the same money arguments — budgets, spending, saving — and somehow end up frustrated, shut down, or resentful? You're not alone.

In this episode, Haley and Dustin are joined by Shayne and Sheila Pitcock, a husband-and-wife Christian life coaching team and founders of Journey 2 Unity, a coaching practice specializing in individual and marital growth. Their story is one of pain, perseverance, and ultimately, God's healing restoration. Sheila shares how she came to know the Lord after growing up in a rules-based, legalistic environment. Shayne tells how he found hope in Christ after years of loneliness and the heavy burden of shame he carried from childhood. Both walked into marriage with deep wounds from their past, and those struggles led to conflict, pain, and three separations. And yet, God was not finished. Through surrender, healing, and holding fast to God's promises, the Pitcocks found healing and restoration both personally and in their marriage. Today, they help other couples discover that no marriage is too far gone for God to restore. If you or someone you know is struggling in their marriage, this conversation serves as an encouraging reminder of God's power to redeem.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!Marriage was never meant to feel like co-managing a household.Yet for so many couples, that's exactly where they find themselves—the roommate phase. You're dividing chores, trading off bedtime routines, updating each other on logistics… but emotional intimacy, laughter, and closeness are nowhere to be found.In this episode, I share:What the roommate phase is and why so many couples end up here after kidsWhat creates this disconnectionThree clear signs you're in the roommate phase (and what that means for your relationship)Why this phase won't fix itself once kids get older—and what to do insteadSmall, practical ways to rebuild connection without overhauling your entire scheduleThe good news? This phase doesn't mean you don't love each other. It just means you've slipped into survival mode. And with awareness, small intentional steps, and consistency—you can shift from living like roommates to truly being partners again.Resources & Next Steps:Grab my free Conflict to Connection Guide to process your thoughts and feelings before bringing them up to your spouseReady for a complete reset in your marriage?

It shouldn't surprise us. Our God, who is a God of order, design, and truth, has a clear answer for our priorities. Our Number 4 priority should be our work. Work is a gift from God, just as our relationships are. Work is necessary to shape our character and pay our bills. Work is designed to have a start and an end every day. Everything unravels when work is a higher priority than our families and God. Marriages struggle, kids struggle, and we become strangers with God. When Work is put in its proper place, it is a blessing that causes flourishing for us, our coworkers, bosses, employees, customers, and vendors. Avodah is the Hebrew word for Work and Worship. That is what God intended- for our work to be worship at the same time. Keep it in check, and life will be good.

Feminism promised freedom, empowerment, and opportunity—but what has it really delivered for women? In this conversation, Tammy Peterson sits down with Andrea Mrozek, co-author of *I Do? Why Marriage Matters*, to explore how feminism has reshaped marriage, motherhood, and dating—and what's been lost along the way. Together they examine the decline of birth rates, the rise of loneliness, and the hidden costs of the revolution. Andrea brings decades of research into family, child care, and fertility, offering a clear-eyed look at second wave feminism, women's empowerment, and the cultural changes that continue to affect relationships today. Tammy brings warmth, faith, and curiosity to a conversation that challenges us to reflect on what truly brings abundance, meaning, and love in family life. If you've ever wondered why marriage is in decline, what the Bible says about women and family, or how feminism has shaped modern dating and motherhood, this episode will give you a perspective you won't hear anywhere else.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach challenges the idea that marriage is only for the “successful” or “worthy.” He explains that marriage is a covenant, not a reward, and that true partnership is about growing together in love, not measuring each other by culture or wealth. Pastor Zach reminds listeners that God's design for marriage focuses on mutual sanctification and character, not financial or social achievement.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

Hi friend! Have you ever gone through a season in marriage where things just felt… off? Maybe a little distant, a little disconnected, or just kind of stuck? If so, you're not alone. In this episode, we're kicking off our new Questions Jesus Asked series — exploring powerful questions from Scripture through the lens of marriage. Our first stop is John 5:6–8 (NIV), where Jesus looks at a man who had been stuck for 38 years and asks: “Do you want to get well?” At first glance, it sounds simple — but it cuts deep. Because sometimes, dysfunction feels familiar. Even comfortable. And before healing can begin in marriage, this question has to be answered honestly: Do you really want to get well? Whether your marriage feels distant or disconnected, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and a reminder: healing begins with a choice. We pray this episode blesses you. ................................................................................................
