Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
They were in ministry together for decades. Everyone thought they had a great marriage. Behind closed doors? Roommates. Disconnected. (Rare) duty sex. No affection. No real intimacy in years. Then Jody looked at David after a premarital counseling session he was leading and said: "You're a hypocrite." He didn't just hear her. He heard God through her. David joined Masculinity Reclaimed. Jody followed into Delighted Wife weeks later. Both changed 180 degrees. Today, they cuddle every night, truly "make love" for the first time in years, resolve conflict in minutes, and are living what they preach day in and day out, after 40 years together. Jody said through tears: "I didn't think we were gonna finish well. And we're gonna finish well." If you're living a life of quiet desperation in your marriage, there's hope. Even if you're a pastor or ministry leader. Maybe you know someone. Pastor David and Jody had friends that took the courage to share -- maybe you're called to simply send this to someone who needs hope -- or inspiration that God is still healing marriages even after 40 years!

PPPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say: [before coaching], "Here I was a hypocrite ministering to others in pre marriage counseling. I was providing principles and practices for others while neglecting the most important person in my life. I was at the point that I couldn't see her beauty, and I neglected seeing who she was in Gods eyes."[after coaching] "It had to begin with me. I had to change my ethos and take responsibility for owning where we had drifted to. Change had to begin with myself first. God would never give me more that I can handle...I needed to take the reigns and cause the ship to be aright. The incarnational reality of God in us really manifested within me. God was not angry with my wife, why should I be. God saw my wife's beauty, how come I couldn't see it."
Send us Fan MailWhat does real humility look like in the life of a Christian man, especially when he has experienced success, influence, leadership, or recognition?Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones continue their conversation with Dr. David Uth, Senior Pastor of First Orlando, about servant leadership, letting go of the past, and continuing to pursue what God has for you in every season of life.David shares practical ways he has learned to practice humility, including entering a room without needing to be the most important person, listening to the stories of others, celebrating other people's victories, and learning to lead without needing recognition. The conversation also explores the temptation for Christian leaders to build their own brands rather than point people toward Jesus.The discussion then turns to Paul's words in Philippians 3 and the Greek word dioko, the call to press on. Whether your past is filled with failures or accomplishments, you cannot live there. God still has work for you to do. David shares how surviving a serious health crisis changed his perspective and why he deliberately rides his bicycle past the place where he once collapsed as a reminder of God's grace.For men who wonder whether their best years are behind them, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: you are not out of the fight. Your position may change, your abilities may change, and your season may change, but God is still at work. Press on. Live your legacy today.
This Sunday, Pastor David continued our REACH series by reminding us that God can use one simple invitation to change a life forever. Through the story of Andrew bringing his brother Simon to Jesus in John 1, we were encouraged that our role isn't to change hearts, but to point people to the One who can. Don't miss this message. Who is your one?
Send us Fan MailWhat makes a church a place where people truly want to belong?In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones sit down with Pastor David Uth of First Orlando to talk about the lessons he has learned through nearly 50 years of pastoral ministry. David shares how First Orlando became a church that increasingly reflects the diversity of its city, why love matters more than programs or personalities, and how humility shapes healthy Christian leadership.The conversation also turns toward men and the church. David explains why men need challenge, purpose, brotherhood, respect, and meaningful relationships with other men. He shares practical wisdom for creating environments where men can grow without feeling embarrassed, exposed, or pressured.David also speaks candidly about pride, celebrity culture in the church, shared leadership, dying to self, and the lesson that transformed his ministry early in his pastoral career: before you can truly lead people, they need to know that you love them.This conversation is filled with practical wisdom for pastors, ministry leaders, husbands, fathers, and any man who wants to lead with greater humility, courage, and love.
Nobody has ever sat across from a pastor and said, “My problem is I love to be first.” It doesn't feel like a spiritual problem. It feels normal. That's what makes it dangerous.In week one of The Ghost of Diotrephes, Pastor David opens the shortest book in the Bible to meet a man remembered for a single sentence, and walks through three truths about who gets to tell you who you are.You can't tell yourself who you are. You've never once seen your own face, and you can't judge your own qualities either. We all need a word from the outside, and we all have our places we go looking for it: work, kids, a parent's approval that never comes.Attention is not love. King Saul had the crowd's song until somebody else got a louder one, and the comparison poisoned him for life. The approval of people is great candy and terrible food. Build a life on it and you'll starve with your mouth full.You are who the Father says you are. The Father has already spoken over you, lavished his love on you, and he sings over you. Your obedience can please the Father, but it can never produce the Father's love.The message ends where Jesus lived: secure in the Father's “This is my son,” with no need to be first.Scriptures: 3 John 1:9, Philippians 2:3, James 3:16, 1 Samuel 18:7, 1 John 3:1, Hebrews 13:16, Zephaniah 3:17Facebook: / believerscenter Instagram: / believerscenter Giving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenter First Time: https://believerchurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243 Salvation / Rededication: https://believerchurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieverChurch #Identity #FathersLove #TheGhostOfDiotrephesThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

Pastor David continues our series through The Sermon on the Mount with his exposition of Matthew 5:31-32.(V31) THE ANCIENT ISSUE OF DIVORCE;(Matthew 5:27-30),Deuteronomy 24:1-4,Matthew 19:3-9,Mark 10:6-9(V32) THE DIVINE MEANING OF MARRIAGE.Hebrews 13:4,Ephesians 5:31-33,(*Genesis 2:24),Mark 10:9Second London Baptist Confession,Chapter 25, Paragraphs 1 & 2
We are the most productive, connected, efficient, and exhausted people in history. We wear our busyness like a badge. We brag about how little we sleep. We're proud to break the one commandment we need most. God built a rhythm into creation itself - work and rest, pointing to Him. But somewhere along the way, we kept the words and lost the melody. We have rest, PTO, vacation, self-care - but they send us back to our own goals and pleasures. That's not Sabbath. That's just the same song in a different key. In this message, Pastor David walks through the fourth commandment in three movements: the rhythm God built, the melody we lost, and the Lord of the Sabbath - who stepped into His own song to become our rest. In this message: Why the fourth commandment is the only one that starts with "Remember" - and what that tells us How God stitched Sabbath into all of creation: the day, the year, the Jubilee Why refusing rest means someone always pays - and who that usually is How Jesus healed, re-created, and set people free on the Sabbath - and what that reveals Four beats for practicing Sabbath this week: stop, rest, delight, worship Key Scriptures: Exodus 20:8–11 • Genesis 2:1–3, 15 • Deuteronomy 5:15 • Psalm 127:1–2 • Isaiah 58:13–14 • Mark 2:27–28; 3:1–6 • Luke 4:18–21; 13:10–17 • Matthew 11:28 • Ephesians 2:8–10

Everybody came from a family. Some good. Some hard. Some you're still healing from. Here's what the whole Bible keeps saying: family was God's idea first. And He has never stopped building one. This Sunday, Pastor David brought the church together to celebrate kids and youth camp - and to show from Genesis to 1 Corinthians 12 that God has always been gathering His children. Kari (18 years in children's ministry) and Tisha (6 years leading youth) shared the vision and heartbeat of what's happening with the next generation. And a family in our church stood up and said what happens when a church actually lives this out - what it means to walk through something impossibly hard and not walk through it alone. In this message: The biblical flyover from Babel to Abraham - how God re-gathers what sin scatters Why Judges 2:10 is the reason youth ministry exists - and why we refuse to be that generation What 1 Corinthians 12 says about every member - including the youngest and the weakest Tisha's four-word youth vision: head, heart, hands, and feet Why your presence, your role, and your showing up matter more than you think Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:27–28; 12:3 • Deuteronomy 6:4–7 • Judges 2:10 • Mark 3:35 • John 1:12–13 • 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 • Ephesians 2:19; 3:14–15 • 1 John 3:1 • Colossians 2:6–7; 3:17
What if the key to experiencing more of God isn't perfection, talent, or position—but hunger?In this message, Pastor David Diaz challenges us to cultivate a genuine spiritual appetite for the presence of God. Looking through Scripture and moments of revival throughout history, we discover that God consistently responds to people who are desperate for Him. Hunger leads to repentance, repentance prepares our hearts, and personal revival becomes the catalyst for God to move through families, churches, and communities.If there's more of the Holy Spirit to be experienced, let's be the kind of people who are hungry enough to pursue Him.

In the final week of Summer of Wisdom, Pastor David Waldroup explores Proverbs 4 and reveals why protecting your heart is one of the wisest decisions you'll ever make.

In this message, you'll discover: - Why everything you do flows from your heart - How to protect your heart from unhealthy influences - Why wisdom must be lived—not just learned - How today's small decisions shape tomorrow's destination - Why God wants to give you a new heart, not just better habits - Whether you're pursuing spiritual growth, rebuilding after failure, or simply wanting to live with greater purpose, this message will challenge you to examine what's filling your heart—and where it's leading you.

Have you ever reached a goal, achieved success, or gained something you deeply wanted only to find yourself asking, “Is this it?” In this message from John 10:7-10, Pastor David Branch explores Jesus' powerful claim to be the door and His invitation into the abundant life. Discover why building our lives on achievement, comfort, family, or even religious performance will always leave us wanting more. Jesus warns us about the danger of allowing good things to become ultimate things, yet He offers something far greater: a life rooted in His grace, presence, and love. Learn what it means to stop striving, trust what Christ has already done, and experience the life God created you for today. (07/26/2026)
Pastor David shows how we were redeemed from the curse.
This week in worship, Pastor David is back with a new series on the "one another" commands of Jesus beginning with "Love One Another." Jesus didn't tell his disciples that the world would recognize them by their buildings, their programs, or even their knowledge. He said they would be known by their love. That's both a beautiful invitation and a challenging calling. As we worship this week, may God shape us into a community where Christ's love is not simply spoken about, but lived out every day.
Most of us got our picture of hell from a movie, a cartoon, or an angry preacher, not from the Bible. So this week Pastor David opens the Bible on hell and reads it honestly, as much and as little as it actually says.“Hell” is one word in English, but four words in the Bible. Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna got flattened into one, and a thousand years of medieval imagery got poured in behind it.Jesus describes Gehenna in pictures, not floor plans. Whatever else hell is, he keeps calling it a place of real and terrible loss.Hell was made for the devil and his angels, not for people. The devil isn't hell's manager, he's hell's first inmate.Jesus defeated hell, so you don't have to go. The keys of death and Hades are in nail-scarred hands.Every warning Jesus gave about hell, he gave on his way to a cross to make sure you'd never go there.Scriptures: Matthew 25:31-41; Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:31; Luke 16:22-23; Mark 9:47-48; Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 20:12-15; Luke 23:42-43; John 3:16-17Facebook: / believerscenter Instagram: / believerscenter Giving: https://pushpay.com/g/believerscenter First Time: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797243 Salvation / Rededication: https://believerscenter.churchcenter.com/people/forms/797600#BelieversCenter #Hell #Grace #JesusThanks so much for listening to the Believers Center podcast!

Life will ask you to build — your career, your family, your dreams. But if you're not fighting at the same time, you'll build yourself right out of intimacy with God. Pastor David breaks down Nehemiah's rebuilding of the wall to show why building and fighting were never meant to be separate. In this message from Fearless Church, Pastor David walks through what it looks like to steward what God has given you while staying spiritually alert — using Nehemiah's men, who worked with a tool in one hand and a sword in the other, as the picture for how we're called to live.
