LISTEN FOR OUR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT :)Hey, we’re Aaron and Jennifer Smith, hosts of the Marriage After God podcast. In this episode, we delve into specific Bible stories that reveal the profound impact of words. Welcome back to our podcast! If you haven't already, please take a moment to subscribe to our channel. And after listening, we'd appreciate it if you could leave us a rating and review. If you're watching on YouTube, feel free to drop a comment!Topic: The Power of Words Illustrated in Biblical NarrativesContinuing our series on the power of words, we explore specific Bible stories that emphasize the significance of language in shaping destinies. We examine the story of Hezekiah and the Assyrian threat, focusing on how words were used to challenge his faith.The Assyrian messenger attempts to undermine Hezekiah's trust in God through persuasive words, questioning his reliance on divine intervention. We discuss the parallels with modern challenges to believers' faith and the tactics used to instill doubt.Eliakim, Shebnah, and Joah's response to the messenger showcases the importance of protecting ourselves and our loved ones from discouraging influences. We draw insights on safeguarding against fear and doubt.Despite the pressure to heed the Assyrian king's words, Hezekiah turns to Isaiah for reassurance, exemplifying the need to seek truth amidst deception. We relate this to personal struggles with faith and the importance of anchoring ourselves in God's promises.Transitioning to the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we discuss their unwavering faith in God, even in the face of death. The recurring theme of "Even if" underscores the essence of trusting God amidst adversity.Connect with Us:Instagram: @marriageaftergodInstagram: @unveiledwifeInstagram: @husbandrevolutionResources: marriageaftergod.comYOUTUBE @marriageaftergodSupport This show by joining our patron team!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marriage-after-god4447/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
In this episode, we discuss an important truth - the words we choose to receive and believe directly impact and direct the course of our lives. We see in Proverbs that wisdom and understanding come from knowing and accepting words of insight. Like Jesus' parable of seeds and soil, words only take root and have power in us when we fully receive and believe them.We share examples of how believing certain words led to accomplishing dreams like getting out of debt and writing our book, Marriage After God. The enemy also knows that lies believed lead to deception and destruction. That's why we must be careful about the repeated messages we internalize from the world and own thinking.God provides abundant life-giving words and wisdom freely to those who ask. We present Scriptures on walking in blessing versus falling into worldly patterns. What words are shaping your beliefs, perception, and direction? Let God's Word and truth set you firmly on the path of life!Main Topics:Wisdom comes from receiving wordsBelieving words leads to accomplishing dreamsLies believed destroy livesGod freely gives wisdom if we askChoosing which words direct our pathConnect with Us:Instagram: @marriageaftergodInstagram: @unveiledwifeInstagram: @husbandrevolutionResources: www.marriageaftergod.comSupport Our Podcast: https://marriageaftergod.com/patronSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marriage-after-god4447/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
In this episode, we explore an incredible but overlooked truth - words are spiritual things! Just as God spoke the world into existence, what we say also carries spiritual power and implications.We look at 1 John 4 on "testing the spirits" and see this refers to assessing the words and messages people speak to determine their origin - from God or not. Jesus calls His own words "spirit and life." But does the Bible give us any other scripture to show us how words are spirit?Understanding words are spiritual means we recognize the responsibility we have in what we speak and what or who we listen to. Topics:God created the world with wordsTest messages to see if they're from GodJesus calls His words "spirit and life"Our words represent what we believeWe'll be judged for what we sayWe can speak life like GodConnect:Instagram: @marriageaftergodInstagram: @unveiledwifeInstagram: @husbandrevolutionMarriage Resources: www.marriageaftergod.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marriage-after-god4447/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
In this episode, we explore the incredible power words have to our world and our marriage, tracing this truth back to the creation story. Just as God spoke the world into being, the enemy tempted and deceived using words. We see through stories like the Tower of Babel how unified language and common words allowed people to accomplish anything. And how having the same words in our marriage can allow us to accomplish anything in our marriages.The printing press revolution spread ideas widely and the Bible was translated into common tongues. Shared words and meanings are key for communication and progress. Today, definitions are shifting as words are redefined contrary to their original intent, causing breakdown in society.Whose words are we listening to and repeating? Do toxic words from the world and the enemy fill our minds? Or are we saturating our hearts with God's living, life-giving words? What we continually speak and believe directs our perception, relationships and future. Next we'll explore how words impact more than our marriages, they affect everything!Main Topics:God created through wordsSatan tempts through wordsPower of united words and meaningsPrinting press spread ideas and common BibleWords shape how we perceive the worldToxic words vs God's life-giving wordsWhat we believe directs our livesConnect with Us:Instagram: @marriageaftergodInstagram: @unveiledwifeInstagram: @husbandrevolutionMarriage resources: www.marriageaftergod.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marriage-after-god4447/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

It's been an eventful and emotionally challenging start to the year.We then introduce our new 8-week series on the power of words in marriage and life. Recent experiences with grief and observing our kids' speech has reminded us how profoundly impactful the words we speak and believe are. From Genesis to John, the Bible is full of examples of how words create, encourage, transform and heal. We want to study Scripture on the tongue and learn to steward our words well.Main Topics:Relaunching video element to podcastNavigating grief and challenges in early 2023Introducing new series on power of wordsBible stories demonstrating power of wordsLearning to choose life-giving wordsConnect with Us:Instagram: @marriageaftergodInstagram: @unveiledwifeInstagram: @husbandrevolutionMarriage resources: www.marriageaftergod.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marriage-after-god4447/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this special Thanksgiving episode, we are sharing about the immense value of serving others together in marriage. While the holiday may look different for all of us this year, we want to encourage you with the blessings, unity and purpose that come from adopting a lifestyle of service as a couple. We start by reflecting on our own journey of serving in various capacities over the years - from youth ministry, to nonprofits, to family and friends. Making service a shared activity has built life-giving memories and given us a shared mission. But for a season when we struggled relationally, our eyes turned inward and serving dried up. Serving is a powerful antidote to many marriage issues. It builds unity as you work as a team. It provides perspective when you pour into others’ lives. It gives opportunity to utilize your unique gifts and talents together. And most importantly, it allows you to follow Jesus’ example and model servant leadership in the way He perfectly lived it out. In Mark 10 and other passages, Christ makes it clear that His entire mission on earth was to serve and “give his life as a ransom for many.” Washing His disciples feet, He told them to follow His model of humble service to one another. When we serve others from a place of humility and sacrifice like Jesus, amazing things happen in our own hearts. Some benefits of consistently serving together include: deepening intimacy and friendship, creating life-long memories, teaching important values to your kids, gaining inspiration for your relationship, blessing your community, and discovering purpose. As you reflect this Thanksgiving, we encourage you to prayerfully consider what adopting a lifestyle of service might look like for your marriage. Who can you bless? What brokenness can you help heal? You have gifts and talents waiting to be unleashed for Kingdom impact!

Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them. - John Calvin When it comes to prayer, we often worry about the right words to say or wonder if we are praying “enough.” But Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6 that God values sincere, heartfelt prayer over eloquent, lengthy prayer. In the busyness of life, it’s easy to mutter quick, repetitive prayers without much thought. But God sees the heart and wants us to come to him earnestly. The number of words we use doesn’t matter; what matters is the motivation behind those words. The key is simply coming to God earnestly, trusting Him fully, whether your words are few or many. He knows what we need before we even ask. As our relationship with Him deepens, our prayers will become a lifeline, keeping us connected to the One who loves us most.

Get your copy of "The Marriage Gift: 365 Prayers For Our Marriage" today! HTTP://themarriagegift.com Welcome back to Part 2 of our enlightening 8-week series on prayer. Last week, we delved deep into understanding the essence of true prayer. If you missed it, don't fret! Simply hit play after this episode and enjoy a double dose of spiritual nourishment. Before we dive in, we have some exciting news! Alongside this podcast series, we've crafted an 8-part devotional exclusively for the Life Bible App. Head over to iTunes, download the app, and get ready for a soul-stirring read upon its release. Today, we address a question that many of us grapple with: "When should I pray?" The words of Spurgeon resonate deeply, reminding us that prayer should emanate from a heart's yearning, not just a routine. Drawing inspiration from 1 Thessalonians 5:17, we're encouraged to be in perpetual communion with God, praying without ceasing. As we gear up for the launch of our book, we've been sharing our personal journeys with prayer on various platforms. It's been a heartwarming experience, reminiscing about the pivotal moments when prayer played a crucial role in our lives. Whether it was Aaron's mom or my aunt, we were taught the significance of pausing and praying, irrespective of where we were. Sarah Hagerty's anecdotes about sneaking moments with the Lord amidst the chaos of motherhood further emphasize that prayer isn't confined to a specific setting. Whether you're at home, driving, or even at the gym, your heart should always be attuned to God. However, in this series, our focus is on Jesus' teachings from Matthew 6. Jesus emphasizes the importance of intentional prayer, urging us to find a secluded spot, away from the distractions of the world. Aaron beautifully highlights the essence of Jesus' teachings from Matthew chapters 5 to 7, emphasizing a genuine relationship with God, devoid of pretense or external validation. For all the mothers and fathers out there, it's crucial to carve out undistracted time for prayer. Whether it means waking up early or staying up late, the goal is to immerse oneself fully in the presence of God. When we "shut the door" to the world's noise, we open our hearts to a profound connection with the Divine. Our interpretation of "going into your room" varies. While I see it as a shared sacred space with a spouse, Aaron perceives it as a testament to the power of private prayers. The beauty of prayer lies in its ability to transform and mold our hearts, especially when we delve deep into our emotions and vulnerabilities. In today's fast-paced world, we often miss out on the profound intimacy that intentional prayer offers. But remember, our journey with prayer, though inspired by our book, is far from perfect. We advocate for prayer because we recognize its transformative power in our lives and the need to continually nurture our connection with God. Today, we invite you to embrace prayer in its deepest form. God yearns to hear from you, to connect with your heart, and to envelop you in His love. Set aside the distractions, sit in His presence, and let your heart converse with the Divine.

HTTP://themarriagegift.com This 8-part series will go through the teaching of Jesus on prayer in Matthew 6. Each episode of this 8 part series will discuss one or 2 verses from his teaching on prayer and pull out the lessons and principles that we can apply to our own prayer journey in our personal life and marriage. Episode 1 will focus on Matthew 6:5 "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward." Here are some of the questions we attempt to answer in this episode. Why does Jesus teach us to pray? Am I being a hypocrite when I pray? What is motivating me to pray? What reward am I seeking when I pray? What is true prayer? And why should we pray for our marriage? “True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that – it is a spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.” - Charles Spurgeon Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marriage-after-god4447/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I am a newlywed (second marriage for us both). I appreciate this message as this is my first marriage as a believer so it's totally different this time around. The only thing that bothered me was your perspective on having children. What if someone cannot have children? You make it sound like if you don't have children you are not obeying God. I've heard teachings that God's command to multiply did not mean to have children, but to go make more believers. Some people face infertility or choose not to have children, I think you just need to be sensitive to that.

I sobbed while listening to this podcast. Thank you so much for sharing your story and what got us die you are going to make marriages that you probably won't ever even know about by using this platform. My husband and I have experienced extraordinary things in our marriage we know we're only possible because if God we feel that same desire and Passion to be vulnerable and open with couples as they walk their marriage journey. So thank you for paving the way for so many to come out of the darkness.

I don't how many times I have listened to this particular episode but you guys have no idea how much it helps and encourages me everytime I do. I can honestly say if it weren't for this and the Word, I would have already thrown in the towel with my marriage. THANK YOU.

I love listening to this podcast. I have listened to some of the podcasts a few times. I really want to get my husband listening to Aaron & Jennifer. So much of what they have to say resonates with me. After 2 failed marriages I know having God and other Godly people in our lives is very important. I just have to say your new book comes out on my birthday and I so want to get it.

SO GOOD. 🙌 Best marriage podcast out there. (seriously, I've listened to the others) My fiance and I have been listening to prepare our hearts and lives for our upcoming marriage and it has radically changed our relationship for the better in communication, prayer, and placing God above all else in every area of our lives. Thank you Aaron and Jennifer. Keep the episodes coming!
