Author Scott Kedersha, Enneagram 3 (3-9 pairing) is not only a fellow Baker author with Christa but also the long-standing marriage pastor at Harris Creek Baptist Church out of Waco, TX. His conversations with couples over the last seventeen years have led him to understand the biggest themes in marriage issues also involve a lack of vulnerability and prayer in marriage. In fact, he's discovered that couples who pray together have unparalelled commitment and a far less drastic divorce rate, which is fascinating to hear about as he shares with us today. But what if we don't feel safe? What if we manipulate in prayer? Today we discuss this and so much more today with you in this special Christmas episode!  https://www.amazon.com/Ready-Knot-Prayer-Guide-Prayers-ebook/dp/B0BVZYMZ7F?ref_=ast_author_dpttps://www.scottkedersha.com/ Hardcover: https://www.amazon.com/Ready-Knot-Prayer-Guide-Prayers/dp/1540902870/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Visit Scott's website here! www.Scottkedersha.com For all of your relationship needs, visit www.EnneagramandMarriage.com

Have you ever collected or owned something that you thought was valuable, only to later realize it was inauthentic and fake? As we start our new series, Life Together, Scott Kedersha teaches our first building block of community: authentic.KEY TAKEAWAYS-The bigger we become as a church, the smaller we must become so that everyone can be known and cared for. We do this through life groups.-To be authentic means to be real, genuine. To be who you say you are.-John repeats the idea that “Jesus is the light” all throughout his teaching. Without Jesus, we won't see things on this earth clearly. He is the light we need to see things as they really are.-Authenticity starts by addressing our sin.-God hates when we minimize our sin.-Authenticity is necessary for fellowship.-These three words & questions are a great way to build authenticity in your life group: 1) Input - How are you feeding your soul? 2) Output - How are you feeding others? 3) Confession - How have you fed your flesh?-Going to life group and not confessing your sin and not being authentic is a terrible hobby and use of time.-Authenticity is necessary for forgiveness.-Is there a part of your life that you don't want other people to see? Bring it into the light!-How to confess: Confess early. Confess at the thought level. Confess at the temptation level before it even becomes sin.-How to confess: Confess often. Confess everything you don't want others to know.-How to confess: Confess in detail. Share 100%, not 98%.-The 30-seconds after someone confesses are extremely important. Your response to their confession will dictate whether they share more or they hide. Thank them, listen to them, ask them questions, pray for them.-What are you keeping from others? What are you hiding? What are you afraid to share?-The goal is not to be the most authentic person in the room. The goal is to become more like Jesus.RECOMMENDED RESOURCES-Scripture to study: 1 John 1:5-10; John 8:12, 9:5, 12:46; Proverbs 29:25; Romans 8:1; James 5:16; Proverbs 28:13-Sermon: Authentic (sermon series: Fresh Start)

Confess this to your life group and ask them to help you change.-Do you know about Jesus, or do you know Jesus?-Is your life marked by a trajectory that looks more and more like Jesus?-Put off the old.-Don't just make small changes here and there. Completely forsake and repent from anything in your life that doesn't look like Jesus.-What do you need to put off: pride, greed, lust, grumbling, gossip, selfishness, something else?-To be abundantly clear, putting off your old self isn't about behavior management or modification. It's not about earning God's favor. It's about responding to the truth of the gospel.-Renew your mind.-The way you think determines how you live.-What do you feed your mind with?-Put on the new.-What do you need to put on: humility, generosity, self-control, gratitude, encouragement, service?MENTIONED OR RECOMMENDED RESOURCES-Suggested Scripture study: Ephesians 4:17-24, 2:1, 5:2, 5:8, 5:15; Hebrews 12:1-2; Philippians 4:8; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Romans 12:2; Colossians 3:12-14-Ministry: re:generation.

We are so excited to share this week's episode, “Pre-Marriage Prep: Am I Ready to Blend?”, with Scott Kedersha. Scott got married on September 15, 2001 to his lovely wife Kristen. Soon after, the Kedershas moved to Dallas so he could attend seminary. The Kedersha family thought they'd be in Texas for four years and then move out of state soon after. 19 years and four boys later, however, they're still in Texas. Scott served in Marriage Ministry at Watermark Community Church for 14 years, and in July 2020, his family moved to Waco, TX where he currently serves as the Marriage and Family Pastor at Harris Creek Baptist Church. Scott is also the author of "Ready or Knot: 12 Conversations Every Couple Needs to Have Before Marriage" and writes about marriage, parenting, leadership, and ministry.In this episode, we discuss:Having fun in your marriageQuestions to ask before you get marriedThe definition of an offensive marriageDestigmatizing marriage counselingScott Kedersha's book, Ready or Knot?And more!This podcast is available on all major podcast platforms!

Have you ever met someone who was consistent and faithful in most of their life but had an area of life that was confusing or disobedient? What about you? Where in your life are you justifying a behavior that simply doesn't make sense? That's sinful? As we continue our sermon series, BC, Scott Kedersha teaches us about false gods and the one true God by examining the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal.KEY TAKEAWAYS-Decide who you are going to follow.-Do you act one way in some settings and another way in other settings?-God's Word does not speak well toward those who are lukewarm in their faith toward God.-Christians who are inconsistent—who are hypocritical—are one of the greatest causes of atheism today.-A false god never delivers.-What false god are you prone to worship? The result of a college sports event? The engagement on a social media post? Your house, car, or income? What is it for you?-There is no binge apart from Jesus that will ever fill you up.-The true God always delivers.-God loves to stack the deck against Himself and then flex.-Any battle that involves God isn't really a battle.-If the Lord is God, then follow Him.

Have you ever been in a tough place brought on by your own decisions? Have you wondered how you got there? Was it all at once, or over a period of time? Scott Kedersha teaches us about temptation and sin by examining the adulterous woman in Proverbs 7.KEY TAKEAWAYS-Walk in the way.-As Christians, we want to protect the teachings and the way of the Scriptures.-We should be cautious of anything that distracts or pulls us from the way of Christ.-Don't fall into the trap of learning a lot about God and the Bible and simply becoming a smarter sinner.-Do not be led astray.-Do your friends lead you more toward sin or God?-Where are you most tempted? What do you think will bring you life outside of God?-We all struggle with sin. All of us. Don't buy the lie that you are alone and the only one who struggles.-Sin always over promises and under delivers. Always.-Know what's at stake.-Affairs don't start in hotel rooms. They start when you decide to keep things from your spouse. They are one thousand small decisions leading to one big decision.-Know where you are tempted. Know your ditches and how the enemy will take you out. Have a death grip on these things.

Scott Kedersha is our marriage-relationship guru on the podcast this week. We dive in on this tough topic of the problem and power of pornography, why it's destructive to a marriage, the myths and deceptions for those who aren't married, and why life is more than porn. Scott talks to us about being a dad and a husband and doing life with people. You'll love this candid conversation with Scott as we pull back the curtain and talk about when falling in love isn't enough.

Can you think of the last time you were hurt by someone else's words? Every single one of us has been on the receiving end of hurtful words. As we continue our series, Sticks & Stones, Scott Kedersha teaches us about the tongue by teaching through James chapter 3.KEY TAKEAWAYS- The phrase “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is a horrendous lie. Words are extremely dangerous and can cause lifelong damage.- No one is perfect in their words...we all stumble, every single one of us.- The tongue is powerful.- The tongue is a small part of the body that has an abnormal influence relative to its size.- The tongue is destructive.- Our words—while they might seem like a small spark—can start a dangerous fire that can burn for a lifetime in someone's memory.- The tongue is revealing.- The tongue reveals who we really are. It shows what is in our hearts.- What kind of words come out of your mouth? What do they reveal about who you are?- While the tongue is powerful, revealing, and destructive, it can also encourage and build others up! As Christians, we can and should use it for good.- When is the last time you went out of your way to encourage someone with your words?MENTIONED OR RECOMMENDED RESOURCES- Suggested Scripture study: James 3:1-12; Jeremiah 9:23-24; Ephesians 4:29- Sermon: The Weight of Our Words

Scott Kedersha, Director of Marriage Ministry at Watermark, joins Adam and John to discuss five trends he’s seeing in marriages.

On this episode of The Naked Marriage podcast, Dave and Ashley Willis are joined by author and Marriage Director, Scott Kedersha of Watermark Community Church. Our modern world has so many ideas on who you should marry and what you should do to prepare for marriage, but together they break those myths and discuss what to truly look for in a spouse and how to be ready for marriage. A podcast dedicated to undressing the truth about sex, intimacy and lifelong love. The concerns and questions most couples have in marriage often go unspoken, until now. Hosts Dave and Ashley Willis bring wisdom, vulnerability, and humor to even the toughest marriage topics. Together they have built a strong following, reaching millions of married couples through their blogs, books, and videos. They have four young sons and live near Dallas, TX.

Links Scott’s website Watermark Church Scott on Twitter Scott on Instagram Ready or Knot book About Scott Kedersha To talk about the importance of starting marriage well, Ted got an interview with Scott Kedersha, the director of Marriage Ministry at Watermark Church in Dallas, Texas. Scott has recently written a book called Ready or Knot, which is specifically for engaged and newlywed couples—they’ll talk about it more during the episode. Scott and his wife Kristen have been married for 17 years and live in Dallas with their four sons. Now sit back and enjoy this interview with Ted and Scott Kedersha. Interview  Tell us a little about you and your family. I have been married to Kristen for 17 years and we have four boys—twins who are teenagers, a 12 year old, and 10 year old. We live in Dallas and I work at a church called Watermark as a marriage pastor. I work with everyone along the relational spectrum and it forces me to work hard on my own marriage. How did you meet your wife? Kristen was one of my instructors in grad school. It was love at first sight for me, but took her four years. She comes from a military family with parents who are still married. My dad died when I was six years old. My mom remarried, so I have one brother and a few step-siblings. My step-dad just passed away almost two years ago now. We came from very different families. She is the stable, steady one. I’m the drama queen—up and down, more emotional. We just don’t like the gender stereotypes, because we break almost all of them. We have very different personalities but love being married to each other. Has that always been the case? We’re really fortunate. Kristen is as laid back as they come and handles a house with four boys really well. We just like each other a lot. It hasn’t been easy—our toughest season was when the twins were born. No money, no sleep. But for the most part we’ve done really well. Being low maintenance doesn’t come naturally; we do work hard to get our marriage to a place where we enjoy being together. What are some little things you’ve done recently to improve your marriage? We have twins in high school and one of them runs cross-country. He has to get up at 5:45am to be at the school by 6:15am. One of us has to get up early to wake him and get him to school. We both race to the opportunity to do that to better serve one another.  What are the tensions people don’t see coming when preparing for marriage? There’s been a little bit of a shift. We used to have to tell people that marriage is hard, but somewhere over the last 12 years, we don’t have to convince people of that anymore. They’ve grown up in broken homes, so I don’t have to convince them—they know marriage is hard. We need to convince them that marriage is amazing. Apart from my relationship with Jesus, my relationship with Kristen is the best thing in my world. People are hungry—they can Google and find information, but they want to be in this thing together. We want people to see that marriage is fun and relationships are fun. It doesn’t have to be a stuffy class. We provide an experience for couples where they can understand they’re struggling with the same things. What are some of the things that distinguishes a successful marriage? Our church surveyed over 400 leaders over the years to see characteristics of couples who do marriage well. A few things came out. They’re open in their relationship, honest, transparent, teachable, and humble. We try to tell real stories about disagreements we had 25 minutes ago. What would you say to a couple who is thinking about getting married? First, the marriage relationship is unique. While you’re dating, you can break up, move, switch jobs. But marriage is designed as a unique relationship. Before you enter in, you need to know what you’re committing to. I tell couples that life is better when you’re with others. When you look over time, you see God work in the context of community. Marriage is worth fighting for—it’s a relationship that affects more than just one man and one woman but the community around you. There’s generational impact. So what’re you going to do with this relationship? What’re some other things that people can do to help their marriage? In the newlywed period, it’s so fun and exciting. We’ll see couples decide to go buy a house, and they’ll make the decision on their own. The lender tells them to max out what they buy and they come into marriage with college and car debt. They make this big decision and don’t process with others. But I would say to process decisions with others. If you’re friends with someone making a big decision, help them with that. Friends don’t let friends make decisions on their own. How does co-habitation impact marriage? Studies show 60-80% of couples live together before they’re married. It’s so normal and everyone (parents, friends) is telling them to move in together. But what it often does is build up the idea that they can be together and enjoy the benefits of marriage with no commitment. As soon as things get difficult, they want to run away and be with the next person. It gives them the idea that once things are hard they can get out. It’s not the stable foundation you want in your relationship. It becomes all about me. Marriage calls us to the opposite. Selfishness gets in the way and causes fights and quarrels among us. How has your work with marriages impacted your community? When I started in this job in 2006, my boss pulled me aside and asked what if we set an audacious goal to help marriage in Dallas. We wanted 10% of all couples who got married in our county to go through our pre-marital ministry. Our big goal was to reach 1,400 couples and do everything we could to prepare them for marriage. We thought if we could change the marriage relationships, it’d change everything. Every year, we’ve chipped away. This year we’ll have over 1,000 couples go through the ministry and more than half of them don’t go to our church. How can a couple build a solid foundation in their marriage? If you look at Sermon on the Mount, Jesus talks about all these big topics. Then he gets to the end and says you have two choices with what I’ve given you: you either build your house on the rock or on the sand. Trials are going to come and we get to help couples build it right. I would encourage every couple to be building their home on the right, solid foundation. Your one simple thing for this week For the pre-marital couple, go into marriage asking how you can put the needs of your spouse before your own. For the rest of couples, we all have things we hate to do around the house. Ask your spouse what they hate to do and then you do it. Show Closing Thanks for joining us for the Married People Podcast.

Summary: It's time to get back to basics!
