S.2 Ep.6: How to Rebuild Trust After Divorce (Without Ruining Your New Marriage)
“You’re asking someone who didn’t hurt you to pay for pain they didn’t cause.” If that hits a little close to home, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re talking about how to rebuild trust after divorce—and why it’s so difficult, especially in a blended family or second marriage. You can be with a good person, in a healthy relationship, and still struggle with trust… not because of what they’ve done, but because of what someone else did to you before. That’s where a lot of people get stuck. So we walk through what’s really going on beneath the surface—why past pain shows up in your current marriage, how it can slowly damage a good relationship, and what it actually looks like to start rebuilding trust the right way. We also talk about faith, what it means to guard your heart without shutting people out, and how to stop letting your past control your future. If you’re navigating a second marriage, blended family, or healing after betrayal or divorce, this conversation is for you.

S.2 Ep.5: Blended Family Boundaries | Why Your Yes & No Matter More Than You Think
One of the fastest ways to create chaos in your home is this…not knowing when to say yes and when to say no. I see it all the time — especially in blended families. Some parents say yes just to keep the peace…others say no to everything trying to keep control…and both end up creating problems they didn’t intend. So let me ask you this: What are you reserving your yes for? And what are you protecting with your no? Because every time you say yes, you’re endorsing something. And every time you say no, you’re protecting something. That’s leadership. In this episode, I’m walking you through how to use your yes and your no the right way — how to stay aligned as parents, and why inconsistency (not strictness) is what really breaks a home. If you’re in a blended family, lean in…because this is one of the areas that causes the most division if you don’t get it right. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

In this episode, we talk about why that feeling is actually normal… and what to do about it. We’ll walk through: - Why belonging can’t be forced - How connection comes before influence - The power of small, everyday moments - And why you need to stop measuring the relationship too early If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fully belong… this is for you.

S.2 Ep.3: The Pressure That Breaks Blended Families
The Pressure That Breaks Blended Families is often the pressure no one prepares you for. In this episode, we’ll talk about the emotional weight that comes with being part of a blended family—especially as a stepparent. The guilt, the frustration, the unspoken thoughts, and the feeling of walking on eggshells in your own home. We’ll talk about why many of these emotions feel wrong, even though they’re actually normal. From unrealistic expectations to the pressure to keep everyone happy, this conversation names what so many blended families experience but rarely say out loud. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

S.2 Ep.2: Blended Family Problems No One Prepared You For
Blended family problems no one prepared you for—they’re real, messy, and nothing like what you imagined. In this episode, I break down the struggles that often go unspoken: why trust takes time, why step-parent authority works differently, how loyalty to a biological parent affects kids, and why rules without relationships backfire. This is for anyone who’s been surprised by how hard blended family life can be—and wants to do it differently. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

S2.Ep.1: Being the Father Figure God Called You to Be
Have you ever wondered where you really fit as a stepdad — and how to be the father figure God called you to be? I’ve been a stepdad for 16 years, and I know how confusing and heavy this role can feel. The tension, the guarded hearts, the moments when you’re not sure if you’re helping or making things worse. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned — not from theory, but from living it. We talk about why stepkids often push back, why trying to compete only creates distance, and why what they need most isn’t perfection or authority, but presence. You may never be called “dad,” and that’s okay. What matters is that you stay, you care, and you show up — even when it’s hard. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.77: Blended Family Boundaries - Why Love Isn’t Enough
This week on the Faith Influencer Podcast, I’m sharing what may be some of the most important truth you’ll ever hear about blended families—and specifically about Blended Family Boundaries. If you’ve ever thought, “We love each other—so why is this still so hard?” this episode is for you. I break down a hard but freeing reality: love doesn’t blend a family—boundaries do. We’ll talk about why a strong marriage alone isn’t enough, where most blended families get stuck, and the blended family boundaries that bring peace, security, and growth to your home. If your family feels tense, reactive, or stuck in constant conflict, this conversation could change everything. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.76: Blended for 16 Years (What Really Keeps a Second Marriage Strong)
In this episode of the Faith Influencer Podcast, I finally sit down with my wife, Deana, to talk honestly about what really keeps a second marriage strong and what 16 years in a blended family has actually looked like for us. We open up about how our totally different faith backgrounds shaped the early tension in our marriage, what counseling forced us to confront, and the messy, real moments of figuring out how to love each other’s kids while still dealing with insecurities from past relationships. Deana shares about her “mama bear” instincts, we talk about what healthy co-parenting with exes actually looks like, and how having our “ours” baby shifted the whole dynamic of our home. If you’re part of a blended family, you’ll relate to the hard parts — and I hope you find encouragement in the breakthroughs God walked us through. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.75: Divorce, Healing, and Finding Yourself Again - Life After Divorce
IIn this episode, we’re talking about divorce, healing, and finding yourself again. I’m opening up about one of the biggest surprises I faced after my divorce — realizing I was carrying an invisible backpack full of emotions I didn’t even know were there. Grief, shame, guilt, loneliness… all those things we try to push down and move past. But healing starts with honesty. You can’t move forward if you don’t unpack what’s weighing you down — one thing at a time. My hope is that this conversation helps you start that process. Because your story isn’t over, and God isn’t finished with you yet.

Ep.74: Worst Mistakes We Make (and How to Stop Them)
We all make mistakes… but some can change the entire course of our families and relationships. In this episode, I get real about three of the most common traps we fall into: expecting our spouse to magically change after “I do,” trying to be our kids’ best friend instead of their parent, and believing we can navigate life’s storms alone. Growth requires intention — and God never designed us to carry everything by ourselves. Whether you’re in a blended family or simply trying to break unhealthy cycles, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and help you aim your home toward purpose instead of accident.

Ep.73: How to Stop Comparing and Start Loving the Family You Have
Have you ever caught yourself comparing your marriage or family to someone else’s? It’s easy to do—but in a blended family, comparison and withholding can quietly damage connection and joy. In this episode, I will share how to stop comparing and start loving the family you have. I will talk about what it means to let go of past expectations, open your heart fully, and build unity right where you are—because that’s where real love and strength begin. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.72: Why Strong Families Need Strong Men
What happens to a family when the man steps back instead of stepping up? In this episode, I dig into God’s design for men to be the strong man of the house—the one who protects, leads, and loves his family with the heart of Christ. When men refuse their role, the enemy fills the gap. But when a man embraces his calling, his leadership can transform not only his family, but generations to come. It’s time for us as men to stop standing in the background and start leading with strength and love. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.71: How to Deal With a Narcissistic Spouse | Signs & Biblical Advice for Marriage
How to Deal With a Narcissistic Spouse—this is a question I get asked more than you’d think. In this episode, I talk about what narcissism really is, how to recognize the traits, and what it’s like to actually live with a true narcissist. I’ll share why constantly being “nice” or giving endless validation only feeds the problem, and why what your marriage really needs is kindness with boundaries. And maybe—just maybe—the narcissist isn’t only in your marriage, but it might be you. Whether you’re in a blended family or not, this episode will help you better understand narcissism, how to deal with it, and how to find your strength in the middle of it all. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.70: The #1 Habit That Pushes Husbands Away
“The #1 Habit That Pushes Husbands Away”—nagging. In today’s episode, I dig into why nagging shows up in marriage, how it chips away at respect and intimacy, and why the more a wife nags, the less her husband responds. We’ll look at covert nagging (“we” really meaning “you”), passive-aggressive tactics like puffing or rattling dishes, and even what Proverbs says about a contentious wife. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.69: The #1 Mistake That Could Blow Up Your Blended Family
I’ve stepped on more than a few landmines in my blended family—and I’ve watched others lose their marriages because of them. In The #1 Mistake That Could Blow Up Your Blended Family, I’m pulling back the curtain on the hidden explosives that can tear a family apart. I’m talking about the big ones—walking into marriage without preparing, ignoring those red flags you swore you’d never overlook, building invisible walls to protect “your territory,” letting your kids (or in-laws) stir up division, and projecting your ex’s faults onto your new spouse. Blended families have landmines everywhere—but if you see them, you can turn them into growth instead of destruction. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.68: How to Handle Step-Sibling Conflict with Wisdom
How do you handle step-sibling conflict with wisdom? That’s the question a listener asked me, and it’s one so many blended families wrestle with. In this episode, we dig into the real reasons behind the tension—jealousy, competition for your attention, loyalty to a biological parent, and the emotional detachment kids often feel when their place in the family shifts. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about raising godly kids, teaching them how to navigate real-life conflict, and building a home rooted in grace and intentional love. Let’s talk about it.

Ep.67: What I’ve Learned in My Second Marriage

I’ll talk through lessons I’ve learned, things I’ve messed up, and what’s made my own second marriage so much stronger. I’ll even dive into a few things that might ruffle some feathers—but stick with me. If you’ve ever wondered whether a second chance at love can really work, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about it.

Ep.66: Should Christians Sign a Prenup?
In today’s episode, we’re talking about a hot topic: Should Christians sign a prenuptial agreement? I’ve got strong thoughts on this, and I’ll share how my wife and I handled it when we got remarried—both of us bringing kids and past pain into something we wanted to be whole.

Ep.65: The Mental Load and the Marriage Meltdown | “Why I Considered Divorcing My Husband”
Today’s episode takes a different turn. I’m reacting to a viral video titled “Why I Considered Divorcing My Husband.” This woman’s story has racked up millions of views and comments. On paper, she had a great husband, but she was still burned out, frustrated, and ready to walk away. She talks about the “mental load,” parenting, and how she felt unseen in her marriage. Some of it? I get. But some of it had me raising my eyebrows—and I’m not sure everyone is hearing what she thinks she’s saying. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who needs a wake-up call. 👉 JOIN THE FAITH INFLUENCER COMMUNITY Connect with us on social media and hit that follow button: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-cunningham-746334300 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.cunningham.90475 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/@faithinfluencer 👉 HAVE A QUESTION OR A STORY TO SHARE?

Ep.63: Communication Issues – This Is How Marriages Fall Apart | Red Flags That Lead to Divorce
What’s the one red flag that can quietly wreck a marriage before anyone says the word “divorce”? In Communication Issues – This Is How Marriages Fall Apart, I’m getting real about something I missed in my first marriage—and something I see all the time in blended families. When communication breaks down, sarcasm replaces honesty, and we stop truly connecting, the damage adds up fast. This isn’t about shame—it’s about awareness. It’s about hope.

This week, I share a question I overheard that stopped me in my tracks: “Are you done?” It was asked in a raw, real moment between two women—one heartbroken, the other full of wisdom.

I won’t answer it for you, but I’ll walk with you through it.

Ep. 59: What Leads To Divorce? Why Divorce Happens - Even in the Church

Ep.51: Weak Men, Simping, & the Rise of Female Control
What happens when men stop leading and women take on a role they were never meant to have? In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s bound to stir some thoughts—weak men, bossy women, and the rise of simping.
