Joining me today are Dave and Ann Wilson who have written a brand new book about what it looks like to speak life into our marriages; not just with the words we say, but also in the thoughts we choose to dwell on. We'll talk about why trying to be your spouse's Holy Spirit never works, why kindness is actually one of the most rebellious things we can do in today's world, and how reframing our inner dialogue can change the way we manage conflict. Whether you've been shouting to be heard, or quietly holding back the pain of unspoken expectations, today's conversation will offer biblical wisdom, practical tools, and fresh hope for building a marriage that reflects Christ's love. We pray this episode encourages you! Episode Highlights: How you approach the conversation matters. Hope and joy can only be in the Lord. Your words have the power to build up or tear down your spouse. Gratitude for your spouse can change your perspective of your spouse. Quotes from Today's Episode: "Men go where they're affirmed. They go there." - Dave Wilson "I realize like when I'm in the Word, I look at things different. I look at the world different. I look at Dave different. And it started, God's Word started to change me." - Ann Wilson But there's something that's really holy about seeing greatness in a person and being able to communicate it in some way." - Ann Wilson "I had put all my hopes and dreams in Dave. I'd taken them off of Jesus and I was like, you could make me happy. And it's easy to get into that rut of like, if you would just do X, Y, Z, I could be more content." - Ann Wilson God's given us to each other to sharpen one another- Dave Wilson Speak life to your husband. Bring him back to be the man God created him to be. We can help shape how our husbands and how our kids feel about themselves, but we have to first connect with Jesus. - Ann Wilson What good does it do to only think of the negative? When I'm in the Word, I see the world different. I see Dave different. You can't say everything you feel! Couples' Conversation Guide: How do we typically approach hard conversations with each other—and what could we do to make those moments feel safer and more affirming? Have we unintentionally placed our hope or happiness in each other instead of in God? What would it look like to shift that back to Jesus as our source of joy? What is one thing I genuinely admire or am grateful for in you that I may not say often enough? How can we be more intentional about calling out the good in each other?

Read the Instructions | Proverbs 13 Wisdom That Could Save You Years of FrustrationHave you ever ignored the instructions because you thought, "I've got this," only to realize later that the mistake was completely avoidable? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we're diving into Proverbs 13, where timeless biblical wisdom teaches us why following instructions, seeking wise counsel, staying humble, and applying what we learn can transform every area of our lives.I have to confess something...When Brooklyn and I moved to Carlsbad, our kids were little enough to sleep in bunk beds, so we headed to IKEA to pick one up. Like every responsible dad, I carefully laid out every piece, organized every screw, and diligently read every page of the instructions...Yeah... not even close.I skimmed the instructions just enough to get started. Once I felt confident, my ego whispered those dangerous words:"I got this."Everything seemed perfect until I reached the very last piece.It didn't fit.Naturally, I did what any mature adult would do...I blamed IKEA.Surely they forgot a part.After a few minutes of frustration, I swallowed my pride, went back to the instructions, and discovered the truth.Every piece was there.Every step was there.The only thing missing......was my willingness to keep reading and applying what was already in front of me.That lesson has followed me far beyond building furniture.Proverbs 13 reminds us that wisdom isn't just hearing truth—it's applying it.In this episode we talk about:Why following instructions is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.How pride quietly convinces us we don't need guidance.Why wise counsel always beats isolated confidence.The power of diligence over laziness.Why successful people talk about ideas while unsuccessful people spend their time talking about people.How "Big hat, no cattle" is still one of the best leadership lessons I've ever heard.Why doing the right thing in the dark eventually shines in the light.Why Inchstones always become milestones.Protecting hope at all costs.Building an inheritance that lasts for future generations.Stopping comparison and starting praise.One of my favorite reminders from my Pops was:"Walk with the wise and become wise."The older I get, the more I realize Mama and Pops weren't just giving advice.They were leaving me an inheritance.An inheritance of wisdom.And that inheritance only has value if I actually apply it.So before you assume you already know the next step...pause.Read the instructions.Then live them.If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that humility isn't thinking less of yourself—it's being willing to learn.Remember...Speak Life.Your words create worlds.
The Secret My Mama Taught Me That Changed Everything | Proverbs 9, Wisdom, Presence & The Power of Looking ForwardHave you ever spent so much time looking forward to something that, when it finally arrived, you barely experienced it?I know I have.This episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas is one of the most personal conversations I've had with you. While reading Proverbs 9, I realized something my Mama had been teaching me my entire life.She always said, "Always have something to look forward to."For years, I thought that meant chasing the next goal, the next opportunity, or the next milestone. But what if she meant something much deeper?What if every moment you're living today was once something you prayed for?In this episode, we'll talk about the difference between wisdom and foolishness, why God's daily bread can only be received today, how to stop missing the life you're building, and how one simple shift can bring more peace, gratitude, joy, and purpose into your life.If you've ever felt anxious about the future, distracted by success, or simply needed a reminder to slow down and appreciate what God is doing today, this conversation is for you.• The hidden lesson inside Proverbs 9• Why wisdom and foolishness often sound the same• How to find peace while still dreaming big• The Inchstone that changed my perspective forever• Why gratitude unlocks joy• How to become more present without losing your ambition• The lesson my Mama taught me that took decades to understandIf this episode encourages you, would you do me a favor?Subscribe to the channel, like this video, leave a comment, and share it with someone you love. Every subscription, comment, and share helps us grow The VIBE Community and allows these conversations to reach people who need hope, wisdom, and encouragement.

Establishing & Leaving Generational Blessings is the second Father's Day message from the MTN Church. Jim Davis is continuing the conversation on God's design for family, legacy, and faithfulness. Drawing from Psalm 78 and other Scriptures, Jim challenges listeners to think beyond the present and consider what their faith will leave behind for future generations. This message encourages men, fathers, and families to build a legacy of blessing through personal surrender, daily faithfulness, forgiveness, intentional values, life-giving words, and a close walk with Jesus—choosing to become a river of God's blessing rather than a dead end.
Most people speak from what they see:“I'm broke. I'm tired. Nothing is changing. This will never work.” But faith speaks from what God SAID. 2 Corinthians 5:7 reminds us, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”Sight reports conditions. Faith reports covenant.The enemy wants your mouth to agree with darkness.Because agreement gives permission. What are you giving permission to? SPEAK LIFE and live a good life!

Thank you that these can be used to share Christ. Please guide us to make things that are beautiful and honest and true. May we not work from a place of emptiness. Seeking to climb the ladder of the world for our own personal gain. But may we instead flow from a place of fullness. Knowing that in Christ, we are truly nourished. And from that place in your arms, may we overflow with that cross-shaped love out into the world.For those of us who are called to share Christ online, please give us the strength do so boldly and creatively. By your Spirit, may doors be opened for our message. And yet, may it also be our ambition to lead quiet lives.Keep us from getting caught up in the spectacle of social media. Challenge us and ground us if we ever fall into using technology as a means to dehumanise. We ask that our work would instead amplify and point to the intensely personal reality of Christ and his church. May the digital be a complement and not replacement for the physical.May the tiny pixels of our screens be overwhelmed by the light of Christ himself.Amen.Find out more and sign up to our Hero's Creed Intensive (18th-21st June) : speaklife.org.uk/intensivesOn 18th June at 7:30pm, we'll be joined by Dr Martin Shaw for a special live evening called Myths That Make Us.Tickets are limited, so book now at speaklife.org.uk/mythsIf you book for the full Hero's Creed Intensive, your ticket to Myths That Make Us is included for free.Support the show
I dare you to Risk A Little Weirdness... To Speak Life.If you've ever replayed a kind thought in your head and then talked yourself out of saying it, this conversation is for you. I'm sharing one of my oldest, most practical habits, born in a high school journaling moment and refined over decades of real life: ...if you think something nice, say it!Not later. Not once it feels “smooth.” Now, while it still costs a little awkwardness.We get honest about what's really going on when we stay silent. It's usually not a lack of love, it's self-consciousness and fear of being perceived as weird. I walk through the two rules that make this habit doable: deliver it quickly before the stakes rise, and don't require a reaction for it to “count.” Encouragement is not a transaction. It's sowing seeds of life, calling out character, and reinforcing kingdom values in everyday places like grocery stores, parking lots, and school hallways.You'll also hear why I think this is the lowest-hanging fruit of the gospel, plus a personal story about Aaron reading four pages of kind words as he practiced this habit and how that moment helped shape our relationship. I leave you with a simple, concrete challenge: try it twice a day and watch what shifts in your heart, your courage, and your community. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who overthinks, and leave a review so more people can find Habit Lab.Click here for the $24 Group Coaching Package 2 calls : June 2 & July 7 @ 9am pstClick here for the "Summer Support" 6x 10 min 1:1 phone calls with Jenna On sale for $89 until June 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, the hosts welcome author Kathy DeGraw, who, along with her daughter Lauren DeBoer, wrote the book Speak Life. Kathy shares her personal journey through fertility challenges, including miscarriage and a molar pregnancy, and explains how her faith-based perspective shaped the creation of this book. Designed as a source of encouragement, the book focuses on prayer, hope, and scriptural truth, drawing from biblical stories of women who experienced infertility and ultimately found strength through faith. The discussion explores how speaking prayers out loud can provide comfort and a sense of connection during infertility, IVF, and pregnancy. What role can faith and prayer play in coping with infertility? Can structured prayer declarations help patients feel more empowered during IVF or pregnancy? The book is organized into sections that guide readers through preparing the body for pregnancy, addressing both female and male infertility, and offering continued support after conception. A unique feature includes 40 weeks of prayer declarations designed to accompany patients throughout pregnancy. Listeners will hear how Kathy's personal experiences shaped their message and how their approach may resonate with patients seeking emotional or spiritual support alongside medical fertility care. This episode highlights the importance of addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of fertility journeys. This podcast was sponsored by IVF Florida.

The book of Job reveals powerful principles for offering godly counsel to those in pain. Job's friends initially demonstrated wisdom by traveling to be with him and sitting in silence for seven days, practicing the Ministry of Presence. However, they failed when they began offering simplistic explanations for his suffering. Effective counseling requires four key principles: being a person of hope who speaks life, meeting people where they are rather than where we want them to be, listening long and counseling short, and waiting for the heart to speak before offering solutions. Jesus exemplifies all these principles perfectly, offering us the ultimate model for supporting others through their darkest moments.
Words carry weight—and they have the power to bring life or death. In this message, we explore what the Bible says about the power of our words, how they shape our relationships, homes, and communities.

Moms were called to give life... And so is everyone else! God gave life by speaking life, and He called us to do the same. This means that our words matter. What we say and how we speak has the power to hurt or heal, spread fear or faith, bring death or life.
