Biblical Love Is Impossible Without These 3 Things | The Faithful Spouse | Part 3

When Is It Right to Judge Your Spouse? | A Marriage Without The Holy Spirit | Part 3
Should you judge your spouse?Most marriages are trying to solve outward division without ever addressing the inward condition creating it.Separation, division, and even divorce are not the root problem—they are the fruit of something deeper.There has never been a whole, healed, Spirit-governed husband and wife who produced the fruit of division.If division exists in the marriage, division first ex
God Will Bless Your Decisions in Your Marriage | Marriage Wisdom Series

A Marriage Without the Holy Spirit is a Waste of Time

Wicked, Seductive & Immoral | Relationships that Shape Marriage | Part 4
In this episode, we confront the reality that you are not just in relationship with people—you are in relationship with the belief systems they carry.And those belief systems will either:— train your senses in righteousness— or dull your discernment and pull you into deceptionScripture is clear:Godly relationships produce maturity, discernment, endurance, and hope (Hebrews 5:11–14; Hebrews 6:9–20)
No FRUIT, No RELATIONSHIP | Relationships that Shape Marriage | Part 3
Your marriage is not just being affected by what’s happening inside of it……it’s being formed by the people surrounding it.Jesus made it clear—He did not come to bring peace, but division.Not chaos… but a dividing line between belief and unbelief.And if you don’t understand that division,you will stay connected to relationships that are spiritually unqualified to speak into your covenant.We break d
The People You "Trust" to Counsel Your Marriage | Relationships that Shape Marriage | Part 2
In Part 2 of The Relationships That Shape Your Marriage, we expose how ungodly counsel operates beneath the surface—hooking your emotions, distorting your discernment, and slowly pulling you out of covenant.
Bad Company vs Good Company | Relationships that Shape Marriage | Part 1
Most spouses are trying to fix their marriage……while staying connected to the very relationships that are corrupting it.Scripture is clear:“Bad company corrupts good morals.” (1 Corinthians 15:33)But most people read that verse without understanding the context Paul is addressing—a group of people who rejected the resurrection.And that matters to your marriage more than you think.
The Spirit of Division | Winning the Emotional War in Marriage | Part 4
Part 4 exposes the spirit of division operating through a soulish spouse.Scripture draws a clear line between psuchikos (soulish) and pneumatikos (spiritual) in 1 Corinthians 15:42–50. One is governed by the soul—emotions, impulses, instability. The other is governed by the Spirit—life, order, and power.When a spouse is driven by emotions and not submitted to the Spirit, they remain soulish. And a
Is “Emotional Safety” Possible? | Winning the Emotional War in Marriage | Part 3
“Emotional safety” isn’t what you think it is……and chasing it may be the very thing destroying your marriage.In today’s episode, we confront a hard truth:Your emotions were never meant to lead your marriage.They were meant to be submitted, crucified, and resurrected in Christ.Because when emotions go ungoverned…they don’t just “express pain” — they produce fruit.And scripture is clear:Emotion → Ac
Your Heart Lies About Your Spouse | Winning the Emotional War in Marriage | Part 2
You cannot trust your heart with your marriage.Your heart will lie to you.Your heart will justify what feels right…while producing what is wrong.Many spouses have become more committed to their emotions than they are to their covenant.They are slow to honor the vow that passed their lips…but quick to defend their feelings, their reactions, and their perspective.And Scripture directly confronts thi
Righteous vs Unrighteous Emotions | Winning the Emotional War in Marriage | Part 1

The Eternal Cost of Remaining Spiritually Blind in Marriage
We are entering into a time where the weight and gravity of spiritual blindness in marriage is increasing.Many spouses are quietly grieving the life, covenant, and intimacy they once had… while simultaneously learning how to maintain the appearance of a functioning marriage.An external adornment is created to hide an internal condition.A public image replaces consecration.Performance replaces obed
16 False Doctrines Satan uses against Christian Marriages | Marriage Wisdom Series
Scripture warns repeatedly about false doctrines, seductive teachings, and persuasive philosophies that slowly lead believers away from truth (2 Corinthians 10:5, 1 Timothy 4:1, Colossians 2:8).And today many Christian marriages are quietly operating under belief systems that never came from God.Some of these doctrines come directly from secular culture.Others have been slowly repackaged with Chri

The Devil Trains Your Senses to Hate Your Spouse
➡ Join The Marriage Academyhttps://establisheduniversity.com/marriageMost spouses think their frustration, irritation, numbness, or contempt is just “normal marital tension.”It’s not.When the enemy gains a foothold — what Paul calls topos — he does not waste it.

Marital Blindness: The Hidden Stages BEFORE a Marriage Falls Apart

The Wounds You Brought Into Marriage Are Still Bearing Fruit

Why God Won't Bless a Spouse's False Stand in Marriage Restoration

The Church is Failing Marriages
The Church is failing marriages...but marriages are also failing the Church.We’ve watched believers show up for service, serve faithfully, tithe consistently and still live in bondage.

Marriage Restoration Requires More Than Prayer: It Needs Positioned!
Your marriage pain isn’t random.Every disruption, every cycle, every unanswered prayer — it’s not God ignoring you.

These tests may look like “wisdom,” but their
Marriage Is Under Attack: God’s Prophetic Call for Husbands and Wives
Marriage is under attack—and most husbands and wives were never taught how to fight for it.In this episode of Prophetic Spouses, Derek exposes the false foundations that have whitewashed marriages and calls spouses back to God’s prophetic design for covenant, order, and restoration.No one prepared you for the real demands of marriage. No one showed you how to engage in spiritual warfare for your f

Is God Ignoring Your Spouse's Sin? The Old Law vs God's Grace
Is God ignoring your spouse’s sin, or are you still living under the old law? Many believers are unknowingly governed by the law—trained to look for what is wrong, what is missing, and what is not being upheld.
