John 15The Vine and the Branches“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.What does it mean to you do "Abide"? What obedience is God calling you to right now?We would love to hear from you.

The Israelites wandered in the desert because they never could FULLY obey. God tells us that He will be with us no matter what, but he also tells us to obey His Commands. What happens when we are not fully obedient to the things God commands of us? How does obedience to God apply to marriage?

We get in trouble when our expectations are:Unknown-We may not be aware of the expectations we have, but we all have them. Even if we feel we do not, we have expectations about others having expectations.Unreasonable-Sometimes we feel we would like things a certain way, but just because that is what we expect doesn't mean, it is reasonable.Unexpressed-How can our spouse possibly know our expectations if we do not voice them. This week, the Fields and the Carters are both arguing and it all revolves about our expectations, communication about expectations and the lies we believe about our spouse when we do not voice our expectations and our spouse falls short.

"Faith over Fear" can be one of those sayings that tends to get watered down by people with good intentions. What the Bible says about fear and how to defeat it is more than faith. We spend some time detangling Valentines and judging those of you who claim to hate it. But then we get down to a conversation about fear. We hope to challenge you to be vulnerable first with God about what your fears are, then with  your spouse. How we handle our mate's fears can greatly impact our intimacy with each other.  We can be reached at marriageunfiltered@yahoo.comOr on Instagram at Marriage_Infiltered_PodcastWe hope to hear from you!

Thank you Amber for giving us the idea for this episode. The four of us sit down to discuss ways that we have had to purge in our lives because we did not recognize the need to keep pruning. John 15:1 - “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit."Philippians 3:12 - 114 "Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

This week we talked about a lot of things, as usual. But here are the sources for some of the specific things we mentioned."The Bible Recap" with Tara-Leigh Cobble. Go to this link to learn more. The Bible Recap"The Power to Change" by Craig Groeschel. Go to this link to learn more. The Power to ChangeLearn more about the movie "The Forge" The Forge MovieThe Quote from CS Lewis.From a letter to an American woman, 31.7.62I have a notion that, apart from actual pain, men and women are quite diversely afflicted by illness.  To a woman one of the great evils about it is that she can't do things.  To a man (or anyway a man like me) the great consolation is the reflection "well, anyway, no-one can now demand that I should do anything." I have often had the fancy that one stage in purgatory might be a great big kitchen in which things are always going wrong - milk boiling over, crockery getting smashed, toast burning, animals stealing.  The women have to learn to sit still and mind their own business: the men have to learn to jump up and do something about it. When both sexes have mastered this exercise, they go on to the next.A clarification written 03.09.62[this] is simply my lifelong experience - that men are more likely to hand over to others what they ought to do themselves, and women more likely to do themselves what others wish they would leave alone.  Hence both sexes must be told "mind your own business" but in two different senses.

When we do not communicate priorities with our spouse, we can find ourselves at whits end in our marriage. This week, we talk about the ways our priorities get out of alignment and how that affects us. Scripture used this week:Matthew 6:33Ephesians 5:25Proverbs 22:6Make sure and like, subscribe and share!Email us and DM us to share what you like and would like more of.

Pride: Puts self first  Humility: Puts Spouse firstPhil. 2:3-4 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Ecclesiastes 2:4-11The Emptiness of Possessions4 I increased my achievements. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself. 5 I made gardensand parks for myself and planted every kind of fruit tree in them. 6 I constructed reservoirs for myself from which to irrigate a grove of flourishing trees. 7 I acquired male and female servants and had slaves who were born in my house. I also owned livestock—large herds and flocks—more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. 8 I also amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I gathered male and female singers for myself, and many concubines, the delights of men. 9 So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem; my wisdom also remained with me. 10 All that my eyes desired, I did not deny them. I did not refuse myself any pleasure, for I took pleasure in all my struggles. This was my reward for all my struggles. 11 When I considered all that I had accomplished and what I had labored to achieve, I found everything to be futile and a pursuit of the wind. There was nothing to be gained under the sun.Romans 12:3 Contact us at marriageunfiltered@yahoo.comFind us on Instagram Marriage Unfiltered PodcastLike, subscribe, rate and share!

We hit it hard with this one. At the cost of offending others, we are to love. What does that look like. How does it affect our marriage when we love those who others deem unlovable?

This episode reveals a lot about the things we are all learning about and how God is growing us. There are lots of things that come along as a distraction or even wrench in the works. Kids, In-laws or midlife crisis. As we enter our mid to late 40's what are we turning to to make us feel like our lives mean something? I know we are all over the map on this one, but we have all grown so much over our years of pressing into our calling and it is cool to hear in this episode.

We will dig into a couple questions from a romantic ice breaker card deck. Where did we learn about sex? What expectations for sex did we have going into marriage?

We will kick this episode off with some of what we do best…real! We planned on recording about sex and one of our couples came to the mics with a real-life conflict that needed a referee. Once we talked through that, we kicked off this month with some talk about sex and its design. We hope you'll join us for four straight weeks of intimacy in marriage. What the Church says, what society says, what the Bible says, what gets in the way and what makes it great. As always, we're not experts…just sharing what we've learned along the way.

We decided to spring board off of a comment Blake made on the last episode. What in your marriage are you viewing as something that is failing to make you happy, when really, it is designed to make you more holy?This discussion went way into the weeds as the Fields and the Carters work through some miscommunication, understanding each other's love languages and how we still get it wrong. BUT...we are learning and these things are causing us to grow. We hope you listen and see what really conversation and working through conflict and misunderstanding looks like.

When we don't agree about something, we can quickly invalidate the other's feelings. Each of us discuss an event from the past week where we could have ended up in a very hurtful blowup. When we see our mate's feelings for what they are, we can choose to fight for their heart. We also dive into what family and holidays can do to add pressure to our relationship. We need to choose each other despite what our extended family pressures us to do. Give us grace as we try to figure out moving into new phases of life and how to deal with parents, family, in-laws and boundaries. The book we reference is called "Good Boundaries and Goodbyes" by Lysa Terkeurst We hope to dive into this topic deeper soon.Join us soon as we look into boundaries and talk about those in the future.This podcast does not necessarily represent the views and opinions of Stonegate Fellowship

Does "fake it till you make it" really work? What a debate we had on this one. What does that mean and can it change you? What it does "apple stapling" mean? You can't just replace the rotten apples and expect a healthy tree.

This felt a little like a venting session about how difficult parenting can be, but turns out we have a lot to learn from the challenges our kids face too. We have to experience the refining process to really learn and change. If our motives are to just make some surface change or behavior modification, lasting change doesn't really occur.What happens when we just try to do things on our own or our way? Sometimes God allows us to face a challenge to get us to slow down and rely on Him."Worshiping the Creation over the Creator" - New Morning Mercies - Paul TrippFollow us on Instagram Marriage Unfiltered Podcastemail us at marriageunfiltered@yahoo.comMarriage Unfiltered does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Stonegate Fellowship

email us at marriageunfiltered@yahoo.comfollow us at Marriage_Unfiltered_Podcast on InstagramThank you to Paul Tripp Ministries for this list of what Love is according to what Christ asks of us. We hope you will be challenged and inspired.1. Love is being willing to have your life complicated by the needs and struggles of your husband or wife without impatience or anger.2. Love is actively fighting the temptation to be critical and judgmental toward your spouse, while looking for ways to encourage and praise.3. Love is the daily commitment to resist the needless moments of conflict that come from pointing out and responding to minor offenses.4. Love is being lovingly honest and humbly approachable in times of misunderstanding, and being more committed to unity and love than you are to winning, accusing, or being right.5. Love is a daily commitment to admit your sin, weakness, and failure and to resist the temptation to offer an excuse or shift the blame.6. Love means being willing, when confronted by your spouse, to examine your heart rather than rising to your defense or shifting the focus.7. Love is a daily commitment to grow in love so that the love you offer to your husband or wife is increasingly selfless, mature, and patient.8. Love is being unwilling to do what is wrong when you have been wronged but to look for concrete and specific ways to overcome evil with good.9. Love is being a good student of your spouse, looking for his physical, emotional, and spiritual needs so that in some way you can remove the burden, support him as he carries it, or encourage him along the way.10. Love means being willing to invest the time necessary to discuss, examine, and understand the problems that you face as a couple, staying on task until the problem is removed or you have agreed upon a strategy of response.11. Love is always being willing to ask for forgiveness and always being committed to grant forgiveness when it is requested.12. Love is recognizing the high value of trust in a marriage and being faithful to your promises and true to your word.13. Love is speaking kindly and gently, even in moments of disagreement, refusing to attack your spouse's character or assault his or her intelligence.14. Love is being unwilling to flatter, lie, manipulate, or deceive in any way in order to co-opt your spouse into giving you what you want or doing something your way. (continued on next page)15. Love is being unwilling to ask your spouse to be the source of your identity, meaning and purpose, or inner sense of well-being, while refusing to be the source of his or hers.16. Love is the willingness to have less free time, less sleep, and a busier schedule in order to be faithful to what God has called you to be and to do as a husband or a wife.17. Love is a commitment to say no to selfish instincts and to do everything that is within your ability to promote real unity, functional understanding, and active love in your marriage.18. Love is staying faithful to your commitment to treat your spouse with appreciation, respect, and grace, even in moments when he or she doesn't seem to deserve it or is unwilling to reciprocate.19. Love is the willingness to make regular and costly sacrifices for the sake of your marriage without asking anything in return or using your sacrifices to place your spouse in your debt.20. Love is being unwilling to make any personal decision or choice that would harm your marriage, hurt your husband or wife, or weaken the bond of trust between you.21. Love is refusing to be self-focused or demanding but instead looking for specific ways to serve, support, and encourage, even when you are busy or tired.22. Love is daily admitting to yourself, your spouse, and God that you are not able to love this way without God's protecting, providing, forgiving, rescuing, and delivering grace.The Marriage Unfiltered Podcast does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Stonegate Fellowship in Midland TX

As many as seven times?” “I tell you, not as many as seven,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven.”"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.Lewis B.
