Unrelenting Pursuit

This episode is really special to us… because it’s our 200th episode!And if we’re honest—this journey has stretched us in ways we didn’t expect.It’s grown us, exposed things in us, healed places we didn’t even realize were still hurting… and through all of it, God has been so faithful.In this episode, we’re taking time to reflect on what He’s done—not just in this podcast, but in us. The obedience it’s taken to keep showing up. The moments we didn’t feel ready. The ways God met us anyway.And in the second half, we’re continuing the conversation we started—walking through signs 13–19 that your marriage is healing… even when it doesn’t feel like it yet...because just like this journey… healing doesn’t always feel clear while you’re in it.But that doesn’t mean God isn’t moving.If you’ve been in a stretching season… if you’ve been doing the work but wondering where it’s leading… this episode is for you.God has been faithful in our story.And He hasn’t stopped being faithful in yours.As always, we would love to hear from you!

Sometimes healing doesn’t look the way we expected it to.In this episode, we set out to walk through 20 signs your marriage is healing… and honestly, we didn’t even get through all of them.But maybe that’s the point.Because healing isn’t a checklist you complete—it’s something you begin to notice in the small shifts… the quieter reactions… the moments where you choose differently, even when it’s hard.If you’ve been feeling like you’re putting in the work but not seeing the breakthrough… if you’re wondering, “Are we actually getting anywhere?”… this conversation is for you.We’re talking about the subtle, often overlooked signs that God is still moving in your marriage—even when it doesn’t feel like it yet.As always, we would love to hear from you!

We are living in a time where women can do anything…and yet fewer are choosing marriage and motherhood.Why?In this episode, we unpack the cultural shift that’s separating what was once deeply connected—commitment, family, and children. We talk about the lies we’ve believed about success, the fear and pressure many women carry, and why motherhood has started to feel like “less than.”But what if it’s not?What if motherhood isn’t a limitation—but one of the most significant callings a woman can step into?This is a conversation about truth, perspective, and choosing what actually matters.As always, we would love to hear from you!

We live in a world that constantly tells us we’re overwhelmed, overbooked, and at capacity—but what if that’s not the full truth?In this episode, we talk about the difference between being overloaded and being misaligned. Because sometimes it’s not that we’re carrying too much… it’s that we’re carrying the wrong things.Learning to increase your capacity isn’t about doing more—it’s about becoming stronger. It’s about letting go of what doesn’t matter, picking up what does, and allowing God to stretch you in the process. You are meant to carry the weight of the roles God has entrusted to you, and that weight is heavy because it is valuable and worth carrying.If you’ve been feeling like life is “too much,” this episode will help you step back, reassess, and realign—so you can carry what you were actually created for.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In this episode, we’re talking about something that sounds simple… but is actually deeply challenging—solitude.What happens when God asks you to lay down not just sin, but your wants, your noise, and your need to stay busy? I share personally how difficult it has been to quiet my mind and sit still before Him—and what He’s been revealing in that space.If your mind feels constantly full and slowing down feels uncomfortable, you’re not alone. This is an invitation into something deeper.As always, we would love to hear from you!

You can’t build a strong life on weak foundations.In this episode, we challenge the idea that doing “well overall” is enough. Because if one pillar is weak—your spiritual life, your health, your emotions, your relationships, your work, or your finances—it will eventually impact everything.We share where we’ve struggled personally and invite you to take a real, honest inventory of your own life.As Preston Morrison says, “When you give yourself what you want, you might get a little happier… but when you give yourself what you need, you will get a lot stronger.”This is your moment to stop avoiding—and start strengthening.As always, we would love to hear from you!

There is a point in marriage restoration where working on the relationship can quietly turn into overworking the relationship.Every conversation becomes serious.Every interaction becomes an evaluation.Every moment together feels like it has to produce progress.Without realizing it, you can slip into fix-it mode — where connection is replaced with pressure, safety is replaced with performance, and joy is replaced with constant analysis.In this episode, we talk about how real healing doesn’t come from forcing breakthrough conversations or trying to solve years of pain overnight. It comes from learning to take one step at a time.You’ll learn why laughter is not avoidance — it’s regulation.Why celebrating small wins builds emotional safety.Why balance is essential if you want your spouse to stay open instead of shut down.We’ll also unpack how creating moments of lightness, shared enjoyment, and genuine appreciation can rebuild the foundation that hard conversations actually stand on.Because the truth is — people talk when they feel connected, safe, seen.And marriages heal when pressure is replaced with steady, faith-filled progress.If you’ve been feeling exhausted from trying to “fix everything,” this episode will help you slow down, refocus, and move forward with wisdom, intention, and hope.As always, we would love to hear from you!

Secure attachment is not about being perfect -In this final episode of our attachment series, we talk about what it looks like to live and love from a place of emotional security. Secure individuals are able to communicate clearly, handle conflict without panic, and remain present even when relationships feel uncomfortable.We will explore how secure attachment shows up in marriage, parenting, and leadership — and why people who feel emotionally safe create environments where others can thrive.If you’ve ever wondered whether attachment style can change, the answer is yes. Through healing relationships, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and consistent corrective experiences, many people move toward what is called earned secure attachment.Attachment explains behavior — but it does not excuse it.Growth toward security looks like slower reactions, clearer communication, and the ability to stay connected even in discomfort.There is hope. Security can be learned and is ultimately anchored in Christ! As always, we would love to hear from you!

Have you ever felt like part of you deeply wants connection… but another part of you doesn’t trust it?Fearful-avoidant attachment lives in that tension.In this episode, we talk about the push–pull cycle that happens when someone both craves closeness and fears it. This attachment style often forms in chaotic or traumatic environments, and it can create emotional swings, confusion about needs, and instability in relationships.We’ll look at how fearful-avoidant attachment shows up in marriage, parenting, and leadership, and why conflict can feel so overwhelming for someone wired this way.If you’ve ever wondered why relationships can feel both deeply desired and deeply threatening at the same time, this episode will help bring clarity—and hope for healing.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In this episode of Unrelenting Pursuit, we’re diving into avoidant (dismissive) attachment — the style that often says, “I’ll handle this myself.”Avoidant attachment isn’t about not caring. It’s about learning early on that emotions felt unsafe or overwhelming — so independence became protection.We explore how this plays out in:Marriage — withdrawing during conflict, struggling to verbalize emotions, and appearing distant even when committed.Parenting — emphasizing independence, minimizing feelings, and offering solutions instead of empathy.Leadership — strong and decisive, yet sometimes intimidating or emotionally unavailable.If you’ve ever felt more comfortable being self-sufficient than emotionally open, or are married to someone who is, this episode is for you.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In this episode, we take a deep dive into anxious attachment—what it is, how it forms, and how it quietly shapes the way we love, lead, and parent.If you’ve ever felt afraid of being abandoned, needed constant reassurance, or found yourself overthinking every conversation or conflict, you may lean toward an anxious attachment style. Many people with anxious attachment love deeply, give generously, and care intensely—but inside, there can be a constant fear: “What if I’m not enough?”We’ll talk about how anxious attachment shows up:In marriage: • Fear of rejection or abandonment • Needing constant reassurance • Overanalyzing your spouse’s tone, words, or actions • Feeling like you care more than they doIn parenting: • Struggling with fear when children pull away or gain independence • Over-protecting or over-involving yourself in their lives • Tying your worth to your child’s behavior or affectionIn leadership: • People-pleasing to avoid conflict • Difficulty making firm decisions • Taking criticism very personally • Feeling crushed when others are disappointedBut there is hope.God is not anxious in His love for you. He is steady, secure, and faithful.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In this episode, we sit down with Chris and Jamie Bailey from Expedition Marriage to talk about the full journey of parenting—from the daily work of raising our kids to the emotional leap of eventually launching them. No matter the season, the call is the same: to trust God with what we can’t control and to remember that where we can’t be, He always is.We explore how to stay united as a couple, how to parent with intention instead of fear, and how to release our kids to God long before they ever step out of our homes. Whether you’re in the thick of raising littles or preparing to send someone into adulthood, this conversation will steady your heart and remind you that God is faithful in every chapter.Be sure to check out all available resources with Chris & Jamie below. https://expeditionmarriage.orgAs always, we would love to hear from you!

Soft Christianity teaches us to stay safe, avoid discomfort, and keep our faith at a surface level. But when we resist conviction, avoid growth, and choose comfort over transformation, it doesn’t just affect us—it affects our marriage.A faith that never challenges you will never change you. And a marriage that isn’t anchored in real transformation will struggle to survive. This episode dives into the connection between spiritual depth and marital strength, and why a deeper walk with Christ changes everything at home.As always, we would love to hear from you!

When marriage starts to feel transactional, we often begin building a case to justify why we’re done—replaying conversations, collecting offenses, and deciding the verdict before the conversation ever happens. In this episode, we unpack what happens when we attempt to take the place of God in our marriage, how internal narratives become reinforced, and why contractual love erodes intimacy and faith. If you’ve felt distant, defensive, or stuck, this conversation invites you back to covenant and reminds you that judgment was never your assignment.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In marriage—and in life—our biggest breakdowns often don’t come from a lack of love, but from assumptions, defensiveness, and rushing to protect ourselves.In this episode, we talk about non-anxious curiosity and why it’s one of the most powerful relational skills you can develop. Instead of reacting, shutting down, or jumping to conclusions, non-anxious curiosity invites us to slow down and ask better questions—without fear, without accusation, and without needing to be right.We also give a simple but transformative challenge:Before you assume...Before you defend... Ask two more questions. This small shift can change the tone of your conversations, your marriage, and the way you relate to people everywhere you go.As always, we would love to hear from you!

Standards are easy to admire. Resolutions are costly to live.In this episode, we unpack the critical difference between God’s standard and our resolution.God’s standards reveal what is right, true, and good — rooted in Scripture and unchanging, regardless of circumstances. But many believers stop there. We agree with truth. We affirm it. We even teach it — without ever resolving to obey it when obedience costs us something.Resolution is where pursuit becomes real.It’s the settled, internal decision that says, “This is not up for negotiation.”From Daniel’s resolve in Babylon, to Jesus setting His face toward Jerusalem, to disciples leaving everything behind, Scripture shows us that transformation doesn’t happen through good intentions — it happens through costly obedience.If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you know God requires and what you’re actually living out, this episode is for you.Standards reveal God’s will.Resolutions reveal your surrender.As always, we would love to hear from you!

The holidays can bring joy—and they can bring pressure. In this episode, we talk about how to create a healthy dynamic for your marriage and your family by paying attention to what actually matters. It all begins with clarity and unity between you and your spouse, especially when it comes to calendars, commitments, and expectations. Because every yes is also a no—and when you learn to choose with intention, you make space for peace, connection, and the things God has truly called you to honor this season.As always, we would love to hear from you!

Insecurity quietly steals what God meant for connection. When we fixate on our flaws, we shift our eyes off of God and onto ourselves—placing a weight on our spouse and those closest to us that they were never meant to carry. In this episode, we’re talking about how insecurity robs us of intimacy, why it distorts our view of God and others, and how to start reclaiming truth. Challenge yourself this week: three times a day, speak God’s truth over the lie you’ve been living through. Freedom starts with shifting your focus.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why consistency trumps intensity in your faith, marriage, and parenting.You can’t build a strong spiritual foundation by chasing emotional highs or trying to make up for inconsistency with one big moment. True growth comes from faithfully showing up every day, even when you don’t feel like it.When you choose to show up — in prayer, in your marriage, and in your parenting — you move towards where you ultimately want to be. It’s those steady, obedient steps that help you both enjoy the intense moments and persevere through the hard ones.Challenge of the Week: Ask God, “How do You want me to show up?” Instead of doing it your way, let Him lead your consistency.If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent in your spiritual walk or home life, this episode will encourage you to slow down, trust God’s timing, and keep showing up faithfully.As always, we would love to hear from you!

What does it look like to truly live your faith out loud? In this powerful and personal episode, we sit down with our son, Gage, to talk about his incredible missionary adventures and the boldness it takes to share Christ in everyday life.Gage opens up about how God called him into missions, the moments that stretched his faith, and the ways he’s seen God move across cultures and conversations. You’ll hear stories of transformation, lessons learned through obedience, and what it means to trust God fully—no matter where He leads.We’ll also talk about what’s next for Gage as he continues his missionary journey, and how you can come alongside him through prayer, encouragement, and support as he steps out in faith once again.If you’ve ever wondered how to live courageously for Jesus, how to share your faith with confidence, or how to support the next generation of missionaries, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.You can keep up with Gage’s ongoing missionary journey and reach out about support opportunities here:https://www.instagram.com/valencia.gageAs always, we would love to hear from you!

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of gratitude in marriage — how shifting your focus from what’s missing to what God is doing can bring hope, healing, and deeper connection. Gratitude doesn’t deny the hard seasons; it reminds you that God is working all things for good.Verse: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18As always, we would love to hear from you!

We’re more “connected” than ever—but many of us feel more disconnected than ever. Phones, endless scrolling, constant noise, and the pressure to always be “in the know” are leaving us unable to fully sit with ourselves or the people we love.In this episode, we talk about: • Why silence and stillness feel so uncomfortable—and why that’s exactly where growth begins. • How constant distraction is making us incapable of deep connection with ourselves and others. • The importance of community, presence, and creating a smaller, more intentional world. • Practical ways to step back from noise and cultivate meaningful relationships and spiritual grounding.God designed us for connection, for presence, and for depth—not for endless scrolling and superficial interaction. If you’re ready to stop just existing and start truly connecting, this episode is for you.⸻As always, we would love to hear from you!

We weren’t created for comfort—we were created for strength. In this episode, we explore why challenges are not meant to break us but to build us, how capacity is developed through resistance, and what it really means that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness. You wee made for hard things- things that are impossible without God, and so much of life is learning to trust Him through the hard, to trust the process He brings you through, and to learn to depend on him more and more. If you’ve ever wondered how to face the hard things in front of you, this conversation will remind you that you can—with Christ’s strength in you.⸻As always, we would love to hear from you!

A mother’s love offers comfort and safety. A father’s love calls a child into courage and resilience.  In this episode, we unpack the powerful role of fathers—how their presence (or absence) shapes the way children view God, handle life’s pressures, and walk out their faith as adults. Blending research, biblical wisdom, and real-life insight, we’ll explore why dads matter more than they often realize, and how carrying the weight of fatherhood is both a challenge and a sacred privilege.Hebrews 11:1 reminds us—faith is the assurance of things hoped for. The calling of fatherhood may feel heavy, but Christ multiplies your strength for the role He’s entrusted to you.⸻As always, we would love to hear from you!

Let’s be real—what you invest in is what you truly value. In this episode, we share our own resources and dreams, and the faith it takes to speak them out loud. We also want to challenge you: are you pouring more into your lifestyle, hobbies, or comfort than into your marriage? The truth is, God designed marriage to reflect His covenant love, and that kind of love requires sacrifice. If the thought of shifting your investment stings a little, maybe that’s God stirring something in you. Because growth costs something—but the return on a marriage rooted in Him is worth every bit of it.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In this episode, we’re sharing some powerful lessons God taught us while building a home in Guatemala with Casas por Cristo—and how those same truths apply directly to marriage.From the importance of a firm foundation to learning how to pivot when plans change, we saw firsthand how trust in God transforms everything. We talk about how the Body of Christ works together in unity, the power of perspective, and why the light of Christ must be evident in our homes and relationships.We also get real about how marriage requires adaptability, and the reminder that nothing has power over us when we’re standing on the foundation of Christ.

Let’s be honest—offense is heavy. And if we’re not careful, we start carrying things we were never meant to hold. In this episode, we open up a raw, no-judgment conversation about what happens when we live offended—and how it affects our heart, our relationship with God, and our marriage.We talk about how bitterness doesn’t just isolate you—it starts to shape how you see everything. You begin expecting rejection, even when no one’s trying to hurt you. The lens of past pain starts filtering out present love. And before you know it, the very relationships you crave—closeness, connection, real love—are the ones being pushed away.Proverbs 19:11 reminds us: “It’s to one’s glory to overlook an offense.” Not because it didn’t hurt—but because freedom matters more than staying stuck. Forgiveness is never about pretending, and it’s not weakness. It’s about laying down the weight and trusting God to be your healer and defender.If you’ve been feeling distant, guarded, or exhausted from carrying pain you never asked for—this episode is for you. There’s hope, healing, and a way forward.As always, we would love to hear from you!

This episode hit different—because as we were recording it, God was working on us. What started as a conversation about marriage and trust in dry seasons quickly became a moment of conviction. We had to face the truth: we weren’t trusting God as much as we thought we were.And most importantly we talk about how God uses the desert—yes, even the hard, frustrating parts—to shape something holy in us.It’s not a teaching moment. It’s a real-time surrender. So if you’re struggling to trust God (or each other), you’re not alone—and there’s grace here for you too.As always, we would love to hear from you!

As moms, it’s far too easy to live under the weight of guilt, comparison, and the constant feeling that we’re not doing enough. In this episode, we’re breaking down the lie of failure that so many of us carry—and replacing it with the truth: this role matters deeply. You are seen by God. He has equipped you for this sacred work and the seeds you are planting in this season matter! Whether you’re in the middle of chaos or calm, this is your reminder that you’re not alone—and that encouragement isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline.Happy Mother’s Day (a few days late) to all the moms that make it happen day in and day out.

What if the most loving thing you could do… was let someone face the full weight of their choices?In this episode, we unpack the hard truth that rescuing isn’t always love. We dive into why stepping in too soon can actually delay growth, how consequences can be the very tool God uses for transformation, and how to release the people we care about to His process — even when it hurts.We’re redefining kindness, challenging our own need to control, and learning how to trust the God who redeems even the messiest situations.This one’s for the fixer, the parent, the spouse, the friend — the one who’s tired of carrying what was never theirs to fix.As always, we would love to hear from you!

“Be strong and courageous.” (Joshua 1:9)God calls men to be protectors — not to dominate, but to defend with love. Women were created to strengthen, not diminish. In this episode, we break down God’s original design for marriage: where leadership is sacrificial, help is powerful, and true protection honors, covers, and brings life. We reclaim the beauty of these roles—and why stepping into them is the path to freedom, not control.As always, we would love to hear from you!

Ever notice how the little quirks in your partner’s behavior can be endearing, amusing, and quickly shift to irritating? In this episode, we dive into the everyday idiosyncrasies that can sometimes drive us up the wall—like leaving cabinets open, repeating stories, or even being hilariously enthusiastic about dishwasher organization—and uncover how these quirks can actually be the secret ingredients to deeper connection in your marriage.• The Quirk List: We share common, lovable habits that every couple has, and hear some real-life anecdotes that remind us we’re not alone in our quirks.• The Irritant Shift: Discover why those tiny habits can seem annoying over time, especially during moments of stress, and learn how shifting our perspective can transform irritation into affection.• Reframing the Quirks: We’ll discuss practical ways to see these quirks as reflections of what makes your partner unique—and how reframing your perspective can change everything. Join us for a lively conversation that challenges you to appreciate the little things and reminds you that love, in all its quirky glory, is truly worth fighting for. As always, we would love to hear from you!

What does real love look like? In this episode, we explore the heart of Jesus’ love—the kind that washed Judas’ feet, embraced the outcast, and laid down everything for those who didn’t deserve it. Jesus said the world would know we are His followers by the way we love. That includes our spouses, especially when it’s difficult. Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a choice, a reflection of Christ. Whether you’re married, single, or struggling to love and serve someone who’s hurt you, this episode will challenge and encourage you to love like Jesus: radically, sacrificially, and without conditions.As always, we would love to hear from you!

In this episode, we dive into the challenges many couples face when communication breaks down—particularly when reactions fall to extremes. Whether it's shutting down and withdrawing or explosive outbursts fueled by anger, both responses can cause long-term damage to your relationship. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger," and James 1:20 teaches us that "Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires." Remember, healthy conversations are key to a thriving marriage, and even the hardest talks can strengthen your bond if approached with grace.Takeaway Challenges:Reflect on your communication patterns—are you shutting down, or are you prone to explosive anger?If needed, seek professional help or counseling to work through deeper communication struggles.Practice Proverbs 15:1 this week—when you feel anger rising, pause and choose a gentle answer to defuse tension.Remember, honoring your spouse means being willing to have those difficult, yet necessary, conversations without dishonoring yourself or your spouse by withdrawing or explosive outbursts.As always, we would love to hear from you!
