Description
For over 20 years now, we’ve fought the good fight of faith, and along the way we have learned so much about living a God-first life. Before Jesus, Tabatha was diagnosed depressed for over 12 years, we had $100,000 in debt, and we were headed straight for divorce. But when we started living for God, our lives radically changed. Tabatha was healed, we prospered financially, and we became best friends. With God's help, we learned how to do life well. And that’s exactly why we’ve created this Podcast – to help you do life with us and do it well. We will help you unlock principles for doing life God’s way, which will lead you to more joy, more peace, and true freedom.

Send a text In this episode of Doing Life with Ken & Tabatha, we talk about how to deal with rejection, criticism, and being misunderstood — especially when you’re trying to follow God and build something meaningful. If you’ve ever wondered: • Why don’t they like me? • Why do people talk about you when you’re doing good? • How do you keep your confidence when people criticize you? This conversation is for you. Pastor Ken and Tabatha unpack 10 real reasons people don’t like you, what the B...
Send a text What if the line between “okay” and “too far” isn’t a line worth walking? We open up about our 24-year sober journey and the moment a mentor reframed the question from “Is it allowed?” to “Is it wise for a king?” From there, the conversation turns honest and practical—how alcohol blurred judgment, complicated leadership, and stole the very peace it promised. We dig into Scripture’s balanced view, the call to be sober-minded, and why “living beyond the gray” can protect marriages, ...
Send a text What if the real path to promotion looks nothing like hustle culture promises? We take on two charged words—submission and faithfulness—and show how they form a powerful, practical way of life that advances marriages, teams, and callings. This isn’t about losing your voice. It’s about choosing God’s order, serving with strength, and becoming the kind of person heaven can trust. We start by reframing submission as a voluntary, faith-filled posture that prioritizes mission over ego...
Send a text Money pressure has a way of sneaking into a marriage and turning simple conversations into fights. We open up about our early years—over $100k in debt, sleepless nights, and two very different backgrounds—and share the seven habits that helped us replace anxiety with unity. This is a practical, faith-filled roadmap: one shared plan, a zero-based budget, the 10-10-80 priority rule, and margin that lets you breathe. We talk through sinking funds for “predictable surprises,” why we m...
Send a text Lukewarm faith feels easy—until it costs you power, joy, and purpose. We get honest about casual Christianity, why it’s so common, and how to move from a Sunday habit to a life that actually carries the presence of God. Ken shares his past as a “Christian atheist”—believing in God but living like He didn’t exist—and how that exposed the gap between form and power. Together, we walk through the telltale signs of a casual believer, from private faith and convenience-based attendance...
Send a text Dating does not have to be confusing, exhausting, or expensive. We’re pulling back the curtain on five practical rules that protect your heart, save your time, and set you up for a marriage that can actually thrive. From defining non‑negotiables to reading red flags without second‑guessing yourself, we walk through the mindsets and habits that turn your twenties into a launchpad instead of a landfill. We start by reframing the goal: Christlikeness over a wedding date. Contentment...

Send a text Settling for “okay” feels safe, but it quietly shrinks your marriage.

From writing a simple family mission to scheduling a 20-second hug, we share the small, repeatable habits that build warmth, trust, and momentum across every season.

Send a text Resolutions powered by adrenaline rarely survive February. We’re after something deeper: a year that actually changes because your spirit leads, your mind renews, and your habits align with what God already says about you. Together we unpack why identity comes before intensity, how to let the old you die without shame, and the simple daily choices that turn conviction into consistency. We start with the core conviction: this will be your best year ever if it’s your best year spir...
Send a text Ready to trade comfort for clarity? We’re kicking off the year with a 21-day journey that goes beyond skipping meals and straight into a deeper pursuit of God. Fasting without prayer is just a diet; fasting with prayer, scripture, and generosity becomes a spiritual reset that reshapes your days, your decisions, and your desires. We share real stories and useful steps. Tabatha talks about fasting through a cancer battle and why walking into chemo in a fasted state (think autophagy...
Send a text Ready to stop making resolutions that fizzle and start setting goals that actually change your life? Ken and Tabatha dig into the difference between hype and habits, laying out a practical, faith-forward way to plan your year with clarity, courage, and consistency. We talk about why most resolutions collapse—no strategy, no steady will, too much emotion—and how to replace them with God-aligned goals backed by action steps, Scripture, and a plan you hold loosely while trusting God ...

Send a text What if the gap between tension and tenderness is smaller than you think? We revisit a candid conversation about the real work of marriage—how to share the load at home, protect each other’s energy, and bring intimacy back from the brink without losing yourself in the process. No gloss, no clichés, just two people telling the truth about weight, pace, and the everyday choices that keep love steady. We start by naming the unseen emotional labor many women carry and the unique pres...

Send a text Dating with wisdom starts by turning your list into a mirror. We talk candidly about why so many singles overvalue appearance and chemistry, then feel blindsided after the wedding when character gaps show up at full volume. Attraction matters, but it won’t hold a marriage together. What does? Shared faith, proven integrity, and the humble skills that make peace during conflict. We break down five practical filters for choosing well: spiritual alignment rooted in a real walk with ...
Send a text When your heart whispers “God feels far,” what if the real invitation is to come closer? We open up about seasons of pain, busyness, and spiritual immaturity and show how a felt distance doesn’t mean God has moved. From battling cancer to navigating marriage stress, we trace the path back to peace and explain a simple framework that helps you reconnect: return to His presence daily, repent and release what blocks intimacy, and reconnect with God’s people who can carry you when you...
Send a text What if hearing God was less about chasing a moment and more about walking in a steady conversation? We unpack five reliable ways to discern God’s voice—Scripture, the Spirit’s inner witness, wise community, peace that umpires your choices, and the clarity of open-and-closed doors—so you can move with confidence and courage. We share personal stories of guidance in marriage, ministry, and business, including dreams that redirected calling, impressions that protected timing, and o...
Send a text Butterflies don’t build marriages—choices do. We open up about the rush of infatuation, the friction of the fight for power, and the quiet strength of mature love, weaving our 26-year story through the science, the pitfalls, and the simple practices that help couples grow. You’ll hear why dopamine and oxytocin make those early days feel like a dream, how cortisol and stress twist small annoyances into big battles, and what it takes to move from me-versus-you to us-versus-the-probl...
Send a text Dating doesn’t have to feel like a guessing game. We break down five clear red flags every Christian should watch for and show how trusting God, not the crowd, changes who you choose and how you choose. From spiritual alignment to character under pressure, we pull back the curtain on the patterns that predict a healthy marriage—or a painful one. We start with the heart of it all: if someone pulls you away from God, isolates you from church, or mocks spiritual disciplines, that’s ...




I need more of this whether it is podcast or sermon form. Going to get a book of Don's, but love your dynamic and how you talk about the different health things. Also, maybe the series can end with y'all going overseas (like Turkey) for one of those day-long medical/dental checkups they do that are super thorough and cheaper than what we can get here :) #lovelearningfromyou #keepitcoming #thebodykeepsthescore #healthiswealth #Godstemple
I love the open and honest conversation. I have been married for 21 years. It's always good to hear about married couples' trials and victories. Marriage is beautiful and God has helped my Marriage a lot. I love the podcast.
