The Dangerous Trap of Self-Righteousness + Faith, Finances, and Marriage - March 4, 2026

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve opens with a challenging reflection on one of the most subtle spiritual dangers for long-time believers: self-righteousness. When we begin to measure our goodness against others instead of God’s standard, it can quietly create distance between us and the Lord. Steve talks candidly about how easy it is to slip into the mindset of “look what I’ve done” rather than remembering that our righteousness comes from Christ alone. Later in the show, Steve introduces the “Seek and You’ll Find” segment with a look at Paul’s final instructions to Timothy in 2 Timothy and a challenge to identify the false teachers Paul warned about. Then counselor Glenn Lutjens from Focus on the Family joins the program to talk about one of the biggest pressure points in marriage: money. From separate bank accounts to debt, giving, and communication, Glenn shares practical and biblical wisdom for couples who want to get on the same page financially and strengthen their marriage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
