This week, John welcomes back Dr. Bob Schuchts—Catholic therapist, author, and founder of the John Paul II Healing Center—for an in-depth conversation about what it means to truly trust in the Father's provision. Self-reliance can creep into our lives in subtle ways, and fear and control often mask as responsibility. Listen in as Dr. Bob shares personal stories and insights from his new book Trusting Our Father's Provision, which demonstrate how real freedom begins when we let go and allow God to provide. If you've ever struggled to surrender your finances, your future, or your sense of security to God, the Father sees you. He knows what you need. And He can be trusted.

Is it OK to disagree with the dictionary? Well I am going to when it comes to the word peace. According to Dictionary.com, peace means - the non warring condition of a nation or group, a state of mutual harmony between people groups, a state of tranquility or serenity, or the cessation of or freedom from any strife or dissension. It is wonderful when those things happen, but can you experience peace even when life is a mess? In this podcast, I want to look at peace from a biblical point of view and as usual, I have to mix some RTF in with it.  To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

Raise the subject of documentaries about filmmaking and you'll probably first go to Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse. Or the film you're thinking about instead was directed by somebody was thinking about Hearts of Darkness. Or, assuming the film came out earlier, it was perhaps directed by someone who later saw Hearts of Darkness and wishes they made a film as good. Which is no disrespect to any other film that fits into its genre––just to say that no other such documentary seems to mirror and match the subject. Though long available, the film has––very much contra Apocalypse Now––only just been restored by American Zoetrope and is now rolling out in theaters. The effort was overseen by James Mockoski, who has served as a guiding hand for the recent spate of Coppola restorations and recuts. I was accordingly pleased to speak with him and Hearts' co-director, Fax Bahr, about the film's legacy, its restoration, and what Francis Ford Coppola has planned after Megalopolis.

What do you do when the gap between what you believe and what you experience feels insurmountable? Where do you turn when trauma leaves you feeling lost, ashamed, and exhausted, spinning spiritually, but still longing for a relationship with God?In this episode of the Attaching to God podcast, Geoff Holsclaw talks with Michael John Cusick about themes from his new book, discussing the disconnect between belief and experience, particularly in the presence of trauma.Michael John Cusick is the CEO and founder of Restoring the Soul, an intensive counseling ministry in Denver. He is a licensed professional counselor, spiritual director, and former assistant professor of counseling at Colorado Christian University.  Along with other books, he has recently published Sacred Attachments: Escaping Spiritual Exhaustion and Trusting in Divine Love. Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

This Day in Legal History: “A Friend of the Constitution”On July 15, 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall took the unusual step of anonymously defending one of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions in American history—McCulloch v. Maryland. Writing under the pseudonym A Friend of the Constitution, Marshall authored a series of essays published in the Philadelphia Union and the Alexandria Gazette, responding to public criticism of the Court's expansive interpretation of federal power. The decision, issued earlier that year, had upheld Congress's authority to establish a national bank and struck down Maryland's attempt to tax it, solidifying the doctrine of federal supremacy.Marshall's public defense was significant because it revealed the political sensitivity of the ruling and the extent to which the legitimacy of the Court's reasoning was contested. The McCulloch opinion laid out the principle of implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause, asserting that the federal government could take actions not explicitly listed in the Constitution if they furthered constitutionally enumerated powers. The decision also famously stated, “the power to tax involves the power to destroy,” rejecting state efforts to control or burden federal institutions.Critics, particularly from states' rights factions, argued the decision centralized too much power in the federal government and eroded state sovereignty. Marshall's essays, though unsigned, were unmistakably in his judicial voice and aimed to calm anxieties about federal overreach by appealing to reason, constitutional structure, and the logic of a functioning union. His public engagement reflected an early awareness of the need to build public confidence in the judiciary's authority.This episode was rare in that a sitting Chief Justice chose to participate in public constitutional debate beyond the bench. It also underscored the foundational role McCulloch would come to play in defining the American system of federalism. The decision has remained a touchstone in constitutional law for over two centuries, cited in debates over congressional authority ranging from the New Deal to the Affordable Care Act.Marshall's intervention on July 15, 1819, was both defensive and visionary—a recognition that legal rulings do not exist in a vacuum and often require articulation beyond the courtroom to be enduring.The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to proceed with its plan to dramatically reduce the size and scope of the Department of Education. In a brief unsigned order, the Court lifted a lower court's injunction that had temporarily reinstated about 1,400 laid-off employees and blocked the transfer of key department functions to other agencies. The decision marks a major victory for President Trump, who has pushed to return educational control to states and fulfill a campaign promise to minimize federal involvement in schools.Three liberal justices dissented, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor warning that the ruling effectively grants the president power to dismantle congressional mandates by eliminating staff necessary to carry them out. The Biden-appointed district judge who had issued the initial injunction found the layoffs would likely paralyze the department. Critics of the plan, including 21 Democratic attorneys general, school districts, and unions, argue that the move could delay federal aid, weaken civil rights enforcement, and harm disadvantaged students.Trump has stated that vital services like Pell grants and special education funding will continue, though responsibilities would shift to agencies such as the Small Business Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services. Education Secretary Linda McMahon praised the Court's decision, calling it a win for students and families. The legal battle continues in lower courts, but the Supreme Court's decision enables Trump to move forward with an aggressive downsizing strategy that would cut the department's staff by half compared to its size at the start of his presidency.US Supreme Court clears way for Trump to gut Education Department | ReutersGermany's Federal Constitutional Court dismissed a lawsuit brought by two Yemeni nationals seeking to hold the German government accountable for U.S. drone strikes conducted from Ramstein Air Base. The plaintiffs, whose relatives were killed in a 2012 strike, argued that Germany shared responsibility because Ramstein served as a key communications hub for U.S. drone operations. They claimed that Germany failed its duty to protect life by allowing the base to be used in actions that allegedly violated international law.The court ruled that while Germany has a general obligation to protect human rights, especially regarding foreign policy, this duty was not activated in the case. The judges found no clear evidence that the U.S. was applying unlawful criteria in distinguishing between legitimate military targets and civilians in Yemen. They also concluded that the German government had acted within its discretion by relying on the U.S. interpretation of international law.The decision reaffirmed Berlin's broad latitude in conducting foreign and security policy, including alliance cooperation. Germany's foreign and defense ministries welcomed the ruling, stating it validated their legal position. The plaintiffs criticized the outcome as setting a dangerous precedent by shielding states that facilitate U.S. drone operations from accountability when civilians are harmed. The case reignited debate over Germany's role in supporting U.S. military actions from its territory.Germany's top court dismisses complaint against US drone missions | ReutersThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit temporarily blocked the Trump administration's attempt to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Afghans living in the United States. The court issued an administrative stay through July 21 in response to a request from the advocacy group CASA, which is challenging the Department of Homeland Security's April decision to revoke TPS for Afghans and Cameroonians. CASA argues the move was arbitrary, discriminatory, and would cause irreparable harm to those affected.TPS allows individuals from countries facing conflict or disaster to stay and work legally in the U.S. for renewable periods, typically between six and eighteen months. The lawsuit is part of broader resistance to Trump's long-standing efforts to roll back TPS protections, many of which were halted by courts during his first term. Afghan advocates say ending TPS now would put lives at risk, particularly among those who supported U.S. operations in Afghanistan and women facing repression under the Taliban.The court's stay is not a final ruling but gives time for the legal challenge to proceed. The administration has until July 17 to respond. AfghanEvac, a coalition of veterans and resettlement advocates, supports the legal fight and urges the administration to restore TPS protections. Over 70,000 Afghans were admitted to the U.S. under temporary parole following the 2021 Taliban takeover, many of whom could be deported without continued legal status.US appeals court temporarily upholds protected status for Afghans | ReutersCongress has finally corrected the costly mistake it made with Section 174, restoring immediate expensing for research and development. But I don't view this as a victory—it's a reset. For three years, businesses operating at the forefront of innovation were forced to amortize R&D costs, a move that was not only economically damaging but entirely unnecessary. While lawmakers delayed fixing their own error, peer nations like China and Singapore advanced forward-looking tax regimes that actively incentivize both research and commercialization.Restoring immediate expensing brings us back to where we were before 2017, but stability in the tax code shouldn't be treated as a favor to innovators—it should be the baseline. R&D thrives on long timelines and clear signals, not temporary fixes and partisan reversals. If Congress wants to take innovation seriously, it needs to treat R&D expensing like core infrastructure and embed automatic responsiveness into the tax code. For example, if GDP growth stalls or domestic R&D spending drops below a certain threshold, the deduction should automatically increase—just as China did with 120% expensing for integrated circuits and industrial machinery.Beyond that, we need to rethink what we're rewarding. Under current rules, companies receive tax breaks for spending on research whether or not those ideas ever generate revenue, jobs, or real-world application. I'm not arguing against basic research, but I believe we should offer enhanced incentives for firms that meet defined commercialization benchmarks—like securing patents, licensing products, or manufacturing IP domestically.Repealing amortization was the right move, but the three-year delay already did serious harm to sectors both parties claim to support. Immediate expensing should now be seen as the floor—not the ceiling—of effective R&D policy. We can't afford to let innovation incentives swing with the political winds. That's why I believe Congress should require full economic scoring from the Joint Committee on Taxation or CBO before any future attempt to undo R&D expensing. You can't bind future lawmakers—but you can make them confront the cost of setting another fire.Fixing the R&D Tax Code Blunder Isn't a Victory, It's a Reset This is a public episode.

In this episode I dive into how romanticism came to life in parallel with feminism which had the western world do away with more pragmatic approaches to marriage and partnership. This had us lose the structure that once made family building and planning more viable and consistent. I introduce the concept of the gold pill that's based on resurfacing the idea of the dowry from ancient times. In addition I talk about how feminism made way for entitlement and how that's hurt relationships between men and women in a big way. Expect to learn about my takeaways on the red pill, what is the gold pill and is it viable, Josiah Trenham's three reasons to get married, the story of the biblical Raquel's sacrifice, modern day dowrys, and much more.Timestamps:00:00 - 00:51 Episode Trailer and Intro00:51 - 02:07 What is the purpose of Ancient Intelligence02:07 - 02:41 Why are we not all blissful in relationships?02:41 - 04:03 Josiah Trenham's 3 reasons to get married04:03 - 06:58 Red pill vs Gold Pill06:58 - 10:31 Should we reconsider the dowry?10:31 - 12:01 Why did feminism create entitlement on behalf of women12:01 - 13:55 Is love enough to marry on?13:55 - 15:42 Are feminists lying to themselves 15:42 - 18:18 Is this why divorces are so rampant these days?18:18 - 20:25 Women and Entitlement20:25 - 21:37 The Romanticised Modern Fairy Tale21:37 - 23:17 Men just want to be believed in23:17 - 25:18 The story of Raquel and her sacrifice25:18 - 27:22 Is female entitlement good or bad?27:22 - 28:39 The two extremes that don't work for us28:39 - 30:06 Final thoughts and key takeaways30:06 - 30:45 Outro_______________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

Moshoeshoe, the Basotho king who'd outwitted, outfought and outlived most of his enemies, was nearing his end. He had managed to ensure his chiefdom survived in signing the Treaty of Aliwal North with the British, who then annexed his territory. Or at least were about to but there were some loose ends to tie up before the Colonial Office signed off on the deal. One of the loose ends was the opposition from some French missionaries who took exception to the Treaty believing it was a cosy deal agreed between the British and the Boers of the Orange Free State which left Moshoeshoe's people with far less territory than they had originally claimed. The most pressing matter was food. Could the Basotho feed themselves with less arable land following the ceding of much of the Caledon valley to the Boers. David Dale Buchanan was the editor of the Witness Newspaper based in Pietermaritzburg who championed Moshoeshoe's claim for expanded sovereignty during boundary talks. Paris Evangelical Missionary Society's Francois Daumas joined Buchanana in actively lobbied the British government in London to reverse or soften the settlement terms that had been unfavorable to Moshoeshoe. Buchanan used his platform in Natal's colonial press to rally public and political support for Moshoeshoe, portraying the Basuto as deserving more just boundaries—and influenced the colonial secretary to consider Moshoeshoe's case more sympathetically. Meanwhile, Daumas took the issue straight to the corridors of British power in London, sailing to Britain in 1869. He pressed the Foreign Office and Colonial Office to reconsider the treaty's terms, hoping to secure territory that the Conventions had removed from Basotho ambit. Their joint efforts helped shape the High Commissioner's Notice of May 13, 1870, with an amendment in November 1871. This modification adjusted the Aliwal North boundary by Extending Basutoland eastward along the Caledon River to its true headwaters, and Restoring territory around Chief Molapo that the Orange Free State had claimed. These revisions returned critical grazing land and strategic highlands to Basutoland. Unfortunately, as you're going to hear, Moshoeshoe wasn't around to experience the fruits of their diplomacy. So it was on a January morning in 1870 that Moshoeshoe roused himself, like a candle flickering before it went out. He was about to perform a remarkable act, almost unheard of in southern Africa tradition. In his last official duty, Moshoeshoe convened a meeting of chiefs and headmen at Thaba Bosiu, and announced he was abdicating in favour of his eldest son, Letsie. It was almost a hospital pass, because Letsie would now take over a land compressed on all sides by pressure groups, African and Colonial. It was still unclear if Basotholand would survive — having barely scraped through the previous few years, the Free State Basotho war of 1865 to 1868 had drained the country of food, and crushed much of its spirit. But it was not defeated, and emerged under Letsie, balanced on a knife-edge, now protected by the British Empire. Moshoeshoe followed up his announcement at the meeting with more orders, that when Letsie died, he should be succeeded by Motsoane who was the only child of Letsie's first wife, Senate — and Senate's father was Josepha who was the eldest son of Molapo's first wife. This was an attempt by Moshoeshoe to create cohesion but it was doomed to fail because he was unilaterally changing Basotho laws of succession. Let us turn to the final weeks of Moshoeshoe's life, marked by an unseemly rivalry between French Protestants and Catholics. It is striking how the distant quarrels of European theology left their mark on South African history.The old Basotho fox had toyed with Christianity for years. Sometimes he wore it like a borrowed coat; sometimes he tossed it aside. The French missionaries were his pawns in a diplomatic game, sometimes they attempted to make him in their own image.

God is looking for people to partner with Him in bringing restoration to the broken areas of life. So how are you partnering with God today to bring restoration in your family, workplace, or community?

Ever hear of the Tchamba?Did you know there is a group of ancestral souls who oversee and protect descendants of enslaved Africans in America?Did you know African Americans are direct descendants of these spirits with tribal connections making them not only a part of the African spiritual continuum, but central to it?“The Tchamba spirits are the ghosts of forgotten ancestors— torn from their homelands, stripped of their names, languages, gods, and rituals, yet whose spiritual presence still lingers. Because of the trauma, resilience, and spiritual depth of their journey and the lessons it has to teach, they are calling out to be remembered, honored, and restored in our hearts.This group of foundational black Americans, specifically derived from waves of African enslavement and exportation to the Americas —known as the New World— during the rise of patriarchy in pre-Greco-Roman Europe and Alkebulan now known as “Africa” —were direct descendants of the Middle Passage, and are not disconnected or lost, but carry in their veins Tchamba blood that remembers and deems them sacred.Three Important Points about the Tchamba:#1 - The Tchamba ancestors are crying out to be seen, not as property or history, but as powerful spirits worthy of the reverence and honor that facilitates AfAm reclamation of their stolen lineage. Veneration of Tchamba is not about dwelling on pain but transforming it into spiritual power and ancestral reconnection.#2 - This is being done in present day Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso and Ghana where Tchama spirits were enslaved and sold into slavery by African lineages often within the same ethnic groups. The Tchamba are venerated, acknowledged, and appeased for reconnection with and healing of unacknowledged ancestors who suffered in bondage.#3 - Restoring spiritual balance and generational healing begins by acknowledging the historical trauma of slavery that is embedded not just in the physical world, but in the spiritual realm. This breaks the spiritual taboos that caused AfAms to forget and deny the ancestors, the very support we need to empower true liberation.For details read Mama Zogbé's book Mami Wata: Africa's Ancient God/dess Unveiled, Vol I.

Bladder leaks, dryness, and low libido aren't exactly dinner table topics… but maybe they should be. These issues are way more common than we think, especially during and after menopause, and they have a huge impact on how we feel day to day. That's why I sit down with Dr. Rena Malik, a Board-Certified Urologist and Sexual Medicine Specialist who's made it her mission to talk about the things most people won't. We talk about everything from pelvic floor problems to how hormones like estrogen and testosterone affect our sexual health and bladder function. Dr. Rena shares why stress makes things worse (yep, even your bladder feels it), and how simple things like breathing or pelvic floor therapy can help you get back in tune with your body. She also breaks down what options are really worth exploring—like vaginal estrogen, testosterone therapy, and a few new treatments you may not have heard of yet. If your body's been sending signals you've been ignoring, consider this your sign to tune in and start listening. And hey, if you're in the mood to give your body a little extra support, I've been loving the new Mighty Maca Mango lately. It's refreshing, light, and packed with all the superfood goodness—plus, it tastes amazing in sparkling water (or turned into a popsicle).

What would it take to transform child welfare into a system rooted in healing, trust, and human connection?   In this powerful episode, we speak with Paul Nixon, an independent social worker and internationally recognized leader in restorative practices. From his early work in the UK to consulting across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, Paul has spent decades championing relational approaches that honor the voices of those most impacted.   Now contracted with Vermont's child welfare system, Paul shares insights from his current work helping transform services to become more relational, connected, and family-centered. He explores how restorative practices challenge punitive models and instead prioritize listening, accountability, and meaningful engagement with children, families, and communities. This conversation is both deeply practical and visionary—highlighting what's possible when we lead with empathy and prioritize relationships at every level of the system.

After 50 years of working with leaders globally, Margaret Wheatley, argues that leadership has never been more difficult. In the face of a multicrisis of climate and human created catastrophes, Meg points to the compelling need to awaken the human spirit and create “islands of sanity”: spaces of possibility and refuge created by people's commitment to forming healthy communities to do meaningful work. Peter and Margaret recall working together in past decades and return to this conversation with Dom and Sue in this critical time when a life-affirming vision of what it means to be most fully human is more critically important than ever. Author of thirteen books including Finding Our Way: Leadership for an Uncertain Time and Restoring Sanity: Practices to Awaken Generosity, Creativity and Kindness, Meg Wheatley has trained countless leaders and activists.

What if we are making prayer more difficult than God intended? Have you ever struggled with prayer because you were concerned that you were not doing it correctly? I took a seminary class on prayer where we studied prayer, but we never prayed. In this podcast, I want to give some RTF insights on prayer. Join me as we take a look at prayer from an RTF perspective. To learn more about the ministry of Restoring the Foundations International, please visit www.restoringthefoundations.org.

When we're young, our faces have a smooth, full look thanks to well-defined fat pads and tight connective tissue. But as we age, those structures start to change, leading to sags, bags and changes in facial shape. Facial aging doesn't happen all at once. It's a gradual process that starts as early as your 20s. At first, the face can look more sculpted and angular, but over time, fat volume loss,  drooping, and eventually muscle and bone changes become more noticeable. Restoring a youthful look often means going beyond just the skin. It takes a thoughtful approach that can include restoring lost volume, repositioning fat and connective tissue, and tightening the skin. Drs. Bass and Edinger break down how facial aging really works, from the inside out, and why understanding these changes is key to treating them effectively.

Undoubtedly the Nepal Heritage Recovery Campaign has been a success. In less than five years it has led the identification and return to Nepal of about 160 religious icons — statues, paintings, and more. These were stolen from this country and displayed or stored in public museums and private collections globally since Nepal opened to the world in the 1950s. Now what? The aim of the NHRC is to have these gods and goddesses (devi-devta in Nepali) returned to their communities, we learn in today's chat with Alisha Sijapati, a founding member and former director of the campaign. Some have made that journey, such as the Lakshmi-Narayan statue taken from Patko Tole in Patan in 1984, but most have not. Blocking their way is a lack of resources and underpinning that, an absence of understanding of the importance of heritage to the health of this country, she adds. Today's episode is an update to our conversation in October 2021 with NHRC member Rohan Mishra, titled Recovering Nepal's Stolen Art and Restoring its Culture.

Welcome to another episode of "Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick." In today's thought-provoking conversation, Michael sits down with our good friend Peter Zaremba to explore the profound themes of self-confession, freedom, and the intricate dance between control and acceptance. They delve into the notion of attachment to outcomes and how this affects our mental health, relationships, and overall sense of well-being.Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, Michael and Peter discuss the detrimental impacts of turning desires into demands, which can lead to transactional relationships and emotional turmoil. The episode highlights the importance of understanding our "circle of control," shedding light on what we can influence directly and what lies beyond our grasp. Join us as we navigate the complexities of seeking freedom from compulsive behaviors, thought patterns, and the universal human condition of needing control. This episode promises to offer profound insights and practical wisdom for anyone looking to restore their soul and live a more liberated life. Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Delivered during a powerful Leadership Monday message, this sermon confronts the emasculating spirit of Jezebel that is seducing and softening today's men — in culture, in homes, and even in churches.With conviction and prophetic urgency, Pastor issues a call to every pastor, disciple, and believer: take your place in God's kingdom as a man of courage and spiritual authority. You were not made to be silent, passive, or manipulated. You were made to lead.Text: 2 Kings 9Topics: Discipleship, Jezebel spirit, masculine authority, spiritual warfare, legacy, fatherlessness, dominion, passion, no-compromise leadership.Chapters00:00 - Introduction: What Is Leadership Monday?01:10 - The Prophetic Word that Sparked This Message02:00 - "Give Me Men!" — A Cry from the Heart03:45 - The Spirit of Jehu vs. the Spirit of Jezebel06:00 - How Culture Is Emasculating Men08:00 - Jezebel's Strategy to Undermine Godly Authority10:00 - Voluntary Surrender vs. Violent Assault on Manhood12:00 - When Ahab Gave Up His Authority13:30 - Elijah's Clash with Jezebel's Threat15:00 - Jehu's Mandate from God16:00 - The Mark of a Jehu Man: Zeal, Passion, Obedience18:00 - Is It Peace?

One of the reasons we often lose our joy, is because we often put our joy in unstable things. Your joy is only as stable as the things you're putting your joy in. Today's Psalm will teach us to put our joy in the only thing that's always stable, which is God. In this message Pastor Louis points us to Jesus as the only one who lived, died, and rose again proving his joy is the only joy that's eternal and stable.  When you put your joy in him, your joy will be restored by him.

Putting God First Will Change Your Marriage If you're anything like me, you've found yourself caught in the swirl of responsibilities, relationships, expectations... and distractions. It's so easy to let the noise of life drown out the voice of God. Even in marriage—especially in marriage—it's easy to start placing our hope in the wrong thing. And when we do that, even the good things, like marriage, can become shaky ground. But what if the real anchor isn't your spouse, or your role, or your routine—but your relationship with God? Why Putting God First Can Transform Your Marriage We live in a world of constant input. Notifications, streaming, social media, endless to-dos. And if we're not intentional, those distractions steal our attention—and with it, our peace, our purpose, and our priorities. I've found that when I step away from it all—when I intentionally remove the distractions—I can finally hear God clearly again. Whether it's walking in nature without my phone or sitting in a quiet space with my journal, those moments of silence are sacred. They realign me. Because when God is clear, everything else becomes clear, too. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” —Matthew 6:33 How Husbands Can Become Spiritual Leaders in the Home Husbands, you are called to lead your home—not because you have all the answers, but because God entrusted you with that role. Leadership doesn't mean control. It means surrender. It means taking responsibility, laying down pride, and anchoring your identity in Christ—not in your wife's response. If your stability is based on her reactions, your leadership will always be shaky. But when your eyes are on Jesus, you can lead with strength, consistency, and peace—even if the journey is slow. “The wise man built his house on the rock… and it did not fall.” —Matthew 7:24-25 (paraphrased) What Biblical Respect Looks Like for Christian Wives Wives, I get it. Maybe you feel like you've had to take the reins because your husband hasn't. Maybe you feel stronger spiritually. Maybe you're just more organized. But leadership is about role—not ability. And when we as wives step out of our God-given role, we accidentally make it harder for our husbands to rise into theirs. Respect doesn't mean silence or enabling. It means honoring the role God has given him, even when it's hard. And when you do? It makes your husband feel safe, trusted, and invited to lead. Should I Still Respect My Husband If I Don't Trust Him? If your husband has let you down—or worse, betrayed your trust—you might wonder: “How do I respect a man who hasn't earned it?” That's real. But our motivation as believers isn't based on someone else's worthiness. It's based on God's worthiness. You can walk in wisdom, set boundaries, and still respect the role. Because when you show honor, you're honoring God first. (Need more on this? Search our site for our podcast: “Respect an Untrustworthy Man”) Why Most Marriages Struggle Without Spiritual Rhythms If you've been running on empty, it may be time to return to spiritual rhythms. Daily time with God. Weekly check-ins with your heart. Monthly reflection. These aren't just good habits—they're lifelines. They give you clarity, patience, and power to live out your role with joy. Even if your personality makes this hard (mine does too!), it's worth fighting for. Your family's health depends on your spiritual nourishment. What “Helper” Really Means (And It's Not What You Think) In Genesis 2, God calls Eve a “helper”—and the original Hebrew word ezer is used most often to describe God Himself as our rescuer, protector, and strength. Wives, this means your role is powerful, not passive. You have the God-given ability to uplift, empower, and even save your husband in ways no one else can. Not through control, but through encouragement, respect, and faith-filled love. When Leadership in Marriage Gets Out of Order The fall of man in Genesis didn't start with an affair or abuse. It started with misplaced leadership. Adam was present. He knew the truth. But instead of leading, he followed. Instead of obeying God, he obeyed his wife. Men, this is your reminder: you are responsible. And women, if you want your husband to lead, you have to let go of the wheel. Restoring biblical order doesn't mean a power struggle—it means peace, protection, and purpose. What to Do When You Feel Hopeless in Your Marriage You might be reading this with tears in your eyes. Maybe your marriage is hanging by a thread. Maybe you've tried everything, and nothing has worked. Maybe you're ready to give up. Don't. God sees you. He hasn't forgotten you. And no matter how far things have gone, there is still hope. Even if your spouse doesn't change right away. Even if it's just you taking the first step. Seek God first. Love your spouse like Jesus. And trust that God will do the rest. Where there is breath in the lungs, there is hope.   With love,   The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS – Ready to take the next step and learn more about our Coaching Programs?

PPPS - Here's a quote from a recent graduate: "When I started DYM, I was desperate to save my marriage. When Dana told me that I could do more than just save my marriage, but could actually enjoy it, I literally laughed at her. I had given up hope of having a happy marriage. All I wanted was to avoid divorce at all costs. Here we are a year later, expecting our third sweet baby… I did in fact, by Gods grace, do more than save my marriage!! I actually genuinely LIKE my husband!! We are happy and healing and couldn't be more grateful. God bless DYM. Thank you for having hope for my marital happiness, even when I did not."

What happens when our lived experience doesn't align with what we believe about God? How do we hold on to faith when trauma, suffering, or loss shatters our spiritual foundation? Author and counselor Michael Cusick understands this tension intimately. As a survivor of childhood abuse, Michael found himself caught in self-destructive cycles that threatened his soul and relationships. Yet through his own healing journey, he discovered the profound impact our personal stories have on our attachment to God — and how restoring that attachment can transform our lives. Now, through his intensive counseling work at Restoring the Soul and in his new book, **Sacred Attachment: Escaping Spiritual Exhaustion and Trusting in Divine Love**, Michael helps others reconnect with a God who is both safe and loving — even in the wake of deep wounds.In this thoughtful conversation, Davey and Michael talk about what to do when your relationship with God feels fractured, why attachment is so important spiritually speaking, and why it seems like so many leaders are falling in our generation. If you've struggled in your relationship with God because of the pain you have experienced, this episode is an invitation to begin healing, to rebuild trust, and to rediscover a sacred attachment with the One who will never let us go.

Today Sonny Puzikas joins us to discuss what he calls, “bringing back the culture of a man”. I have known Sonny a long time and I am excited to bring him on today to discuss the principles, discipline, and internal strength that define true masculinity, especially in contrast to what modern culture often promotes. Born in Soviet-era Lithuania in 1969, Sonny began his martial journey at the age of six, training in styles like Kyokushinkai, Judo, and boxing. He later served in a Soviet special forces unit, an experience that shaped his understanding of violence, leadership, and personal responsibility. After … Continue reading →

Chris Jordan has some unwelcome news for the watershed and fisheries restoration movement. Restoring robust populations of salmonids and other fish species in degraded rivers and wetlands is much more complex than we could have ever imagined, and we've been doing it wrong for decades. Most of us, even those of us who view our fishing and our rivers as a kind of religion, don't even know what a truly healthy river looks like. But Chris also has some welcome news, though, and it's the subject of today's podcast: we know how to restore functioning watersheds for coldwater fisheries now, and it's imminently achievable. Real watershed restoration that can last and bring back healthy cold water fisheries – it's called “process-based restoration” – is the future. It's not just about removing archaic dams and putting curves and woody debris back into broken and degraded creeks. It's about beavers, muck and mire and willow thickets, floodplains and aquifers, wildfire and wetlands, gravity and shade. It is, as Chris has studied and implemented successfully for the past few decades, about “helping rivers do their jobs with a lighter hand and a larger scope” and recognizing that the messiest natural systems are the very best at producing the strongest and healthiest fisheries. Join us- 100% guaranteed, you'll see your favorite rivers and creeks in an entirely new light.   The Podcast & Blast with Hal Herring is brought you by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and presented by Silencer Central, with additional support from Decked, Dometic, and Filson.  Join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the voice for your wild public lands, waters, and wildlife to be part of a passionate community of hunter-angler-conservationists.  BHA.
