This was so uplifting. Thank you.
this is a ☆☆☆☆☆ podcast!
this is a ☆☆☆☆☆ Podcast!
loved this thouroughly
if you plan to have kids, have kids or planned to have mortgage then this is for you! it was definitely a good listen for myself
this is awesome! very eye-opening
My wife recommended this podcast to me and I RELUCTANTLY began to listen. One show in and I was hooked! Thank you for sharing these marriage saving Biblical truths in an understandable and palatable way. I have been helped, instructed, and encouraged. Keep up the good work. Grateful 🙏
This has been such a positive Godly resource for my husband and I. We’ve read their books and ordered copies for a wedding gift. We are so blessed by this couples ministry
Ryan and Selena offer real Biblical marriage advice in a very down to earth way. They're open about their own marriage, which makes it seem like they're walking alongside us, claiming the Gospel truths themselves while pointing is to Christ and the cross. This podcast had been such a blessing to my marriage and I'm so thankful for it!
it was Jim Elliott
this podcast has been such a game changer for my husband and I! We love their solid theology, their down to earth "realness", and the practical steps we can take to have a God-honoring marriage. 10/10 podcast!
This is a great message Ryan & Selena! Thank you for sharing practical truths that help marriages! I love how you interact with each other!
Love this session. Thank you so much!
Faith, Fear and Marriage is the first episode I'm listening to and I feel compelled to say at least in this episode I'm noticing the man makes a lot of subtle digs at his wife, from highlighting her issues with pride, to being annoyed at her example of giving birth to correcting her multiple times and even making a side remark when she said she had read Job the previous year. I felt like he put her down subtly while not acknowledging his own flaws or uplifting her positive remarks other than a nod. I'm sure this is absolutely encouraging for so many, but I hesitate to jump blindly into agreement without my own discernment. Will listen to more though, I know I can always grow with more knowledge and more perspectives!
Selena, your story resonated wth me so much and brought me to tears... in a good way if that makes sense. Because I relate to it and it helps me feel less alone. I am so grateful to have found your podcast. My husband and I were on the verge of divorce. By the grace of God, we have committed to repair and reestablish with one another. I am grateful to you and Ryan serving in this capacity to mentor and advocate for others in the name of the Lord. Thank you and God bless ❤.
👏🏽👏🏽
oh my word..... this was soooo meant for me.... i was search exactly for this topic....without searching for it.....
amazing podcast! I love every episode, so edifying.
I just founf out my wife of 18 months has been having an affair with my pastor for 6 months... Any tips on dealing with infedlility?
I am in my second marriage. we have problems but we are so in love after 10.5 years. My first marriage was horrible! my ex husband was very abusive physically and verbally...just in every single way. I feel that my marriage now is blessed and yet some people disagree with my divorce and remarriage. What are your thoughts?
