In this sermon, Senior Pastor JJ explores how biblical submission rooted in Ephesians 5 is not weakness or control, but a spirit filled, voluntary act of lifting others up that serves as the foundation for a flourishing life, marriage, and relationship with God.

My conversation today was with James and Angela Mitchell, the Co-Founders and Relationship Coaches at Love Intentionally.  Angela was a career counselor, working in schools, with depression and substance challenges, and eventually found her way to relationships.  Meanwhile, James was the consummate entrepreneur - working in real estate but always trying new ventures - with widely ranging success.   After years of taking intentional time throughout their marriage - every week, every month, and once-a-year retreats, James and Angela built skills and resources and systems to help entrepreneurs forge strong relationships - whether it's a couple working together in business - or one stable career alongside the ups and downs of an entrepreneur.   Love Intentionally was formed in 2018, and experienced a revolution in recent years, as the couple spent a year in Peru - and wrote a book together - Married & Magnetic - the Entrepreneur's Guide to a Thriving Marriage and a Booming Business.  This episode is full of great stories, relationship best practices, and a lot of fun, so please join me in enjoying my conversation with James and Angela Mitchell.

In this episode, we explore the profound metaphor of gardening as it relates to maintaining a healthy marriage. Just as a garden requires consistent care and attention, so too does our marital relationship. We delve into the importance of recognizing areas of neglect and provide practical steps for couples to cultivate a flourishing partnership. Tune in to learn how to invest time and effort into your marital garden, ensuring it remains a vibrant space for love and growth.

Too many Christian husbands have been discipled into hovering puppy dogs instead of dangerous, mission-driven men of God. We've been told “love your wife, be nice, serve more, be patient”… but nobody showed us EXACTLY how Adam lost his wife's respect or how Song of Solomon shows a wife who can't keep her hands off her man.In this episode, we go deep into Genesis 2–3 and Song of Solomon to expose how Adam laid down his mission, orbitted his wife like a desperate puppy, and opened the door to the serpent. Then we contrast that with a king on mission whose bride says, “Draw me after you—let us run.” If you've felt like a different man at work than you are at home… if your wife feels cold, critical, or distant… this is going to punch you in the chest in the best way.We'll talk about how to stop obsessively hovering around your wife, reclaim your God-given mission, rebuild her respect, and invite her back into your chambers as a confident, grounded, masculine husband. Not by getting louder or harsher—but by becoming a man who is validated by God, rooted in identity, and willing to set boundaries and lead.

In this powerful episode of The Next Level Podcast with Michael McIntyre, Michael dives deep into one of God's most sacred — and often misunderstood — covenants: marriage. With warmth, humor, and truth, he unpacks five kingdom principles that can transform your marriage from a source of frustration into a divine partnership of purpose and grace. Drawing from over 40 years of marriage with Stacye, Michael shares practical wisdom on how to: Choose unity over being right See conflict as refinement, not ruin View your covenant as your calling Build spiritual intimacy that anchors emotional safety Let grace be the glue that restores connection Whether you're married, engaged, divorced, or praying for the right one, this episode will give you fresh revelation on how God uses marriage to shape your holiness, deepen your humility, and multiply your calling.

If you've ever felt stuck, lonely, or like roommates with your spouse — this is for you. Nick walks you through the exact path to breakthrough he and Haley experienced in their own marriage and how you can step into the same kind of transformation.You'll also learn the vision, program details & benefits of the Thriving Kingdom Marriage Mastery that's now open for enrollment.

Codie opens up about how her husband helped her reframe the meaning of abundance—not just in wealth, but in joy. From learning to prioritize experiences over luxury items to realizing the value of balance between ambition and fun, Codie shares the surprising ways their differences make their partnership thrive. Her husband, a former military man, brings a grounded perspective to her visionary mindset—showing that protecting your future is just as important as building it.What makes this episode hit even deeper is Codie's raw honesty about what didn't work in her first marriage—and the intentional practices she and her husband now use to stay aligned. Every year, they whiteboard their life: kids, money, sacrifice, vision. They don't just dream big; they get real about what it costs.

In this special episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my wife, Jessica Hagner, for another honest and heartfelt conversation about marriage, parenting, and family life.

Jessica also shares her perspective on what keeps our relationship strong after more than two decades together, even when life gets messy. If you're looking for practical tools and encouragement for your marriage and parenting, this episode delivers a mix of wisdom, laughter, and real-life stories.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Why conversations like this matter for marriage and parenting [2:10] - Building a marriage on respect and friendship [5:18] - How we handle conflict without tearing each other down [9:02] - Parenting four boys with different needs and personalities [13:37] - Why consistency matters in discipline and guidance [17:25] - The role of grace in creating a safe family environment [21:48] - Keeping our marriage strong in the middle of chaos [26:13] - Making intentional time for connection as a couple [30:05] - How we show each child that they are seen and valued [34:40] - Teaching respect by modeling it in our marriage [39:12] - The balance between structure and flexibility in parenting [43:55] - Why shared values anchor our family through challenges [48:21] - Leading our family spiritually and emotionally [52:18] - How laughter and friendship keep us connected [56:44] - Final reflections on creating a family rooted in love and respect     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1.

Just when you thought you couldn't love Dr. Kim and Mrs. Nancy more—this episode takes things to a whole new level. With honesty and heart, they open up about the real journey of their marriage—sharing the intentional choices, tough seasons, and deep faith that carried them through. From early challenges that could have pulled them apart to the daily decisions that drew them closer, their story reflects what's possible when a couple chooses to build on the foundation of Christ. Their marriage is both relatable and inspiring—a powerful reminder that when God is kept first, a marriage doesn't just survive—it thrives. Episode Highlights: Intentionality is key. Marriages won't thrive naturally. Taking ownership and openly communicating are important tools for successful marriages.   Quotes from this Episode: Don't be negative.  I think we were in lust not in love. I think we had to build true love in our marriage. We've learned to build bit by bit. I thought if I loved you enough everything was going to be ok. Until you realize how much God loves you as a person you aren't truly free to love another person. Divorce isn't a word in our vocabulary anymore, commitment is! We realize now what we were missing. Just getting married doesn't mean you won't feel alone.    Questions for Conversation: What part of Dr. Kim and Nancy's story felt most relatable or surprising to you? Why? Have you ever assumed love alone would be enough to fix everything? How has your view of love and commitment changed over time? Have there been moments where one (or both) of you felt alone in your marriage? What helped reconnect you—or what could help now? Is “divorce” or emotional withdrawal ever subtly present as an option in your mindset or language? What does it look like to choose commitment every day? How can you better prioritize keeping God first in your marriage this week? What's one thing you want to be intentional about after listening to this episode—together or individually?   Mentioned in this episode: Find Dr. Kim on Instagram We believe that keeping marriage fun means date night can't be boring.

Segment 1: • Understanding biblical submission in marriage fosters harmony between husbands and wives. • Unity in marriage relies on both spouses fulfilling their biblical roles. • One partner may not be fully embracing their role in the relationship. Segment 2: • Children need guidance and structure to thrive within a unified family dynamic. • Biblical submission is key to harmony, not a violation of ethical principles. • Physical affection, like holding hands, releases oxytocin, fostering connection and unity. Segment 3: • Gossip, backbiting, and complaining breed division, harming the body of Christ. • Just as husbands and wives must submit to one another, so must church members submit to leadership. • Churches that cultivate unity become spiritual oases, reflecting Christ's love. Segment 4: • 89% of Americans who profess to be Christian don't believe in the Trinity—this is a result of shallow teaching. • The decline in biblical understanding harms the church. • The more you understand about God, the deeper your love for Him will grow. ___ Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme ___ Thanks for listening!
