EP. 164 | When God Isn’t First, Marriage and Family Feel the Cost

from Marriage Mania Ministry · host Michael & Tania Koehler

What happens to marriage and family when God becomes someone we turn to only in crisis instead of our first love?Many believers love God sincerely but drift into a pattern of seeking Him only when life is difficult. Over time, this posture affects how we lead our marriages, parent our children, and walk in spiritual unity.In this episode of Marriage Mania, we explore the difference between loving God and simply needing Him, and why placing God first is foundational for strong marriages and healthy families.We Heart Nutrition: https://www.weheartnutrition.com/86336677USE CODE: TANIA20Teach Them Diligently Conference: CODE: MARRIAGEMANIAMINISTRY▬▬ WAYS TO SUPPORT OUR PODCAST ▬▬Resources: https://www.marriagemaniaministry.com/recommendedresourcesDONATE: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/marriagem…Marriage Mania Ministry is a Member Ministry of Ministry Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizationSupport the showThanks for listening!

I believe the lord has called me to build a strong community of men. The mission of this community is to allow men to learn from one another's successes and failures in marriage and parenting. The True Family Men Podcast was born to give men a platform to share their testimonies of how Jesus Christ has brought them out of life greatest challenges and how to begin the healing process. We as men face many problems in life from lust, pornography addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, anger, stress, false sense of manliness, the list is endless, but through a strong community of believers and the redeeming power of christ's blood we can overcome! I enjoy camping, eagle scouting, hiking, and the weekly chic-fila splurges! I personally enjoy reading, weight lifting, and connecting with new men across the world who have a love for Jesus Christ.I believe that God has called us family men to be the spiritual leaders of our homes. It's time
