I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls. 5.

I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother. 7. I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

Send us Fan MailMarriage is no longer assumed to be the obvious next step for many young adults. For Gen Z, relationships are often measured by happiness, personal fulfillment, emotional safety, and freedom more than permanence, covenant, sacrifice, or family life.In this episode, we talk about why marriage is increasingly seen as optional, why some couples view a Church wedding as God's “stamp of approval” rather than a call to live marriage according to the Church's vision, and why traditional duty-based language often fails to connect with younger couples.The goal is not to water down what the Church teaches. The goal is to become better missionaries. If we want young adults to see marriage as good, necessary, and life-giving, we have to understand the language they are speaking and show them why God's vision of love actually leads to freedom, healing, and human flourishing.In this episode, we discuss:Why Gen Z does not always see marriage as necessary for family lifeHow career, finances, and cultural instability shape their view of commitmentWhy Church weddings can be misunderstood as a blessing of the relationship rather than a call to conversionWhy “duty,” “must,” and “ought” language does not always land with younger couplesHow the Church can speak more clearly, pastorally, and like missionaries about marriageMain takeaway: The Church does not need to abandon its vision of marriage. But we do need to learn how to translate it for a generation that often has no box to put it in.Send share this episode with a priest who walks with couples!

In our busy culture, marriage often takes a backseat to packed schedules and endless commitments. Even biblical heroes like Moses struggled with overwhelming busyness that wasn't necessarily good. Busyness cuts us off from meaningful connections and robs us of the ability to be truly present with our spouse. The solution isn't eliminating all activities, but establishing clear priorities. Marriage should be viewed as a gift from God, not a chore. We must choose what we want to be great at and make being an excellent spouse one of those priorities. This requires continually pursuing your spouse, enjoying life together, and practicing the art of attention - really looking at and learning about the person you married.

Marriage matters because God designed it to display His wisdom, His grace, and His glory. In this message from 1 Peter 3:1–7, we are reminded that marriage is not merely a private relationship, but a sacred calling that carries eternal significance. Through conviction, submission, honor, and love, husbands and wives are called to reflect the heart of Christ in the way they serve one another.This sermon explores God's design for wives to cultivate a gentle, respectful, and hopeful spirit, and for husbands to lead with considerate care, protection, and honor toward their wives. As we follow God's pattern for marriage, He is honored, homes are strengthened, and lives are impacted.

Marriage is not well understood in our culture or in our churches today. God has a design and a desire for marriage, it is something the God has created and it is something that God defines. If we don't understand the design, or don't recognize that God created and regulates marriage, we will end up struggling in our marriages or missing out completely. 

Marriage is increasingly seen as harmful, optional and irrelevant in anincreasingly confused world. Surprisingly, most people, even Christians don't understand the genius of marriage, the real cost, the amazing benefits and the ultimate purpose of marriage which the Apostle Paul calls a “mega-mytery.” In this talk we will try to answer the question, “why marriage matters."

What if the strength of your church is directly tied to the strength of marriages within it? In this episode, we dive into compelling data that reveals how practicing faith together dramatically lowers divorce rates, increases marital satisfaction, and builds stronger, more unified congregations. From the power of prayer and discipleship in the home to the measurable impact of premarital counseling and marriage ministry, we uncover why intentional investment in marriages leads to lasting transformation—not just for couples, but for the next generation and the future of the Church.This conversation will challenge leaders and couples alike to see marriage not as a side ministry, but as a core strategy for building a thriving, mission-driven church.

In today's episode, I'm talking about something that's seriously missing from the functional health conversation - and it might be the exact reason your body isn't healing no matter how many supplements you take or protocols you follow. We spend so much time talking about balancing hormones, regulating our nervous systems, and fixing our gut, but what if the real issue isn't what you're doing, it's the environment you're doing it in? I'm getting real about how you can't fully heal your body if you're refusing to address what's happening in your marriage and motherhood. Your nervous system is constantly scanning for safety, and if your home has unspoken tension, emotional disconnection, or those little micro-ruptures that never get repaired, your body stays stuck in protection mode. I'm sharing some personal stories and a client example of how this actually plays out, why more marriage therapy won't work if you refuse to look in the mirror, and how it only takes one person - one person choosing repair - to start changing the environment of your home so your body can finally exhale.

Marriage doesn't begin with feelings—it begins with covenant. In the opening message of Built to Last, we explore why marriage matters according to God's design. While culture often views marriage as casual or contractual, Scripture reveals marriage as a sacred covenant meant to reflect the faithful love of Christ for His Church. Through Jesus' teaching and Paul's words in Ephesians, we see that marriage is more than a relationship—it's a gospel picture. This message speaks hope to singles, clarity to those living together, encouragement to the married, and grace to the divorced, reminding us all that Jesus is the true Bridegroom who never breaks covenant.

How do you process grief? How does your husband process grief? Marriage is full of many good and lovely seasons. But every marriage will also experience losses. How do we process those losses in a way that brings us closer to one another and also closer to God? How is processing grief a chance to lean into God's design for marriage? How can we work through differences in the way we grieve without bitterness or resentment?Listen in to a real and vulnerable conversation with Clarissa Abbott, mom to two little girls and husband to Ryan, who serves with YWAM in Perth, Australia.

If you've been married for more than five minutes, chances are you've faced conflict. Sometimes conflicts resolve easily, but other times they can eat away at your heart and mind.What should your heart's response be when your spouse is unreasonable and reconciliation seems impossible? When you're facing serious disagreements with no clear path forward, what are some practical next steps you can take?Today, we're going to look at the conflict between two women in the Philippian church and see how Paul addressed and encouraged them. Although this disagreement was between two sisters in Christ rather than a husband and wife, the parallels are striking and deeply helpful.Listen in as we think through how to navigate those tricky conflicts.

Malachi 2:10-16

Pastor Brian Henderson

As moms, we often have a tendency to be “all in” for our kids but then feel used up when it comes to our husbands. How does our relationship with our husband affect our kids? And why should we make a conscious effort to put the health of our marriage above the needs of the kids?Often we can get into cycles of frustration with our spouse and our words can have a tendency to spiral. What is at the root of our words? How can we begin to turn from speaking words that tear down to speaking words that build up?Why are words so powerful? If we are caring for our spouse's physical needs, do the things we say really matter? After all, don't actions speak louder than words?How is the gospel connected to what we say? How should we view our battle with the tongue in light of the cross? Listen in to a life giving conversation with Heather Uhl, writer, teacher, speaker and homeschool mom to three (almost four!),  about the importance of our speech.

Chocolate is yummy, parenting is hard. These things are self-evident.Marriage is also hard. There may be seasons when we feel bitter and frustrated --particularly if we feel like we are carrying a double parenting load. How should we respond when we feel ourselves becoming bitter and resentful toward our husbands? How can we come alongside our husbands and support them in their role while still being honest about our struggles? How should we think about submission during seasons when a husband may not be physically present—such as during a military deployment?Listen in as Ashley Keller, a prenatal and postnatal exercise specialist and the founder of GlowBodyPT, shares how she supports her husband in his role while resisting bitterness from a biblical perspective.***Link to Ashley's resources (10/10 recommend!!) https://www.glowbodypt.com/Devoted by Tim Challies And a beautiful article from John Piper describing his mom!

Divorce is not just a personal decision, it's actually a spiritual health crisis. And it's unfortunately rampant in society today. In this episode, I'm calling it what it really is: sin. God literally says in Scripture, “I hate divorce” (Malachi 2:16), yet our culture treats it like a self-care strategy. Christians are increasingly justifying what the Bible clearly condemns. Let's be clear: marriage is a covenant and walking away from it without biblical grounds is rebellion against God.Even with biblical grounds to divorce (such as in cases of abandonment or sexual immorality) God still prefers there be genuine repentance and genuine forgiveness. Meaning, no matter how "bad" it allegedly gets, God still suggests true apologies and true absolution. He wants that instead of bitterness and separation.Also, everyone seems to conveniently be forgetting about how divorce impacts the children. That is very wicked to not consider how it affects them.People have come at me with rudeness, bitterness, and every excuse under the sun as to why they "had to" get divorced, but none of that will stop me from speaking the truth. You did not "have to" get divorced. Not most of you. I'm not here to please people. I'm here to honor God and uphold what His Word says, even when it's uncomfortable or "comes off mean." Unfriendly reminder: I win every single battle and every single war because I fight on the side of righteousness, and you probably don't. Tune in as we break down the lies, the "justifications" and the tragic consequences of treating divorce like an option instead of the absolute last resort.Marriage is a holy covenant between one man, one woman, and God.Hope this helps!--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Today, Pastor Jack asks the question, “Should the government be involved in the family?” The answer is yes, but only to help raise our children and protect our marriage. So, we need to vote for the one that is for our freedom and for the defense of our family and home.
