© 2025 Doing Life with Ken and Tabatha
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.

In this heartfelt and humor-filled conversation, we unpack the critical distinction between love and like in marriage. After 26 years together, we've learned that those "litt...
Send us a text Marriage can be beautiful, but it can also be incredibly challenging. In our case, the first two years were some of the hardest. What transformed our struggling relationship into a thriving partnership wasn't better communication or date nights—it was supernatural power.

This isn't just theological jargon—it's a real, transformative experience that Jesus promise...
Send us a text Have you ever felt like your marriage was under attack? You might be right—but the attacker isn't your spouse. When Ken and Tabatha Claytor stood at the altar 26 years ago, they had no idea their marriage would nearly end within two years. What saved them wasn't marriage counseling or communication techniques (though those helped). It was recognizing the spiritual warfare targeting their relationship. "Marriage is God's idea, and it's the one relationship that shows the world...

The birth of your children? The special celebrations? Of course you do. But do you remember every dirty dish, unmade bed, or forgotten errand that triggered an argument? Pro...

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.
