    EP. 47| The Invisible Warfare For Your Marriage
    Jan 12 2026
    The devil hates families. He hates covenant. He hates stability, safety, and generational healing. Does it seem like every conversation leads to an explosion? Let’s discuss the escalation loop that can drain the joy out of your marriage and learn how to identify and combat the real enemy! TRANSCRIPT The Invisible Fight for Your Marriage Theme: Spiritual Warfare in Marriage Scripture Focus: Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:4 INTRODUCTION — The Wake-Up Call You’ve read every marriage book on the shelf. You’ve sat on the counsellor’s couch until you’re emotionally exhausted. You’ve softened your tone. You’ve stopped asking for too much. You’ve prayed, you’ve waited, you’ve shrunk yourself to keep the peace… And yet — the house still feels like it’s on fire. Let me ask you something gently, but honestly. What if you’re not fighting your husband at all? What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t relational failure — but spiritual resistance? What if you’re standing in a war room, trying to fight a spirit with a spreadsheet… Using communication tools for a battle that requires spiritual authority? Today, we’re talking about the invisible fight for your marriage. This episode is not about blaming your spouse. It’s about waking up discernment. It’s about calling intercessors back to their posts. Before we go any further — if this episode already feels like it’s reading your mail, pause for a second. Hit subscribe, leave a comment telling me where you’re listening/reading from, and share this with a sister who’s quietly fighting for her home. This message needs to reach the women who are tired of surface answers. BODY POINT 1 — The Three-Part Human & the Three-Part Marriage To understand why your marriage feels like a battlefield, we need to go back to foundation. " you have to understand who you are. As an African woman, this concept is second nature to me, and the Bible confirms it: Man is essentially a spirit, who has a soul, and lives in a body. Scripture is clear — you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. And your marriage reflects that same three-part design. 1️⃣ The Physical Layer This is what most couples focus on: BillsChoresSexParenting logisticsWho did what, who didn’t This is Important — but not central. 2️⃣ The Soul Layer This is where therapy usually sits: EmotionsCommunication stylesAttachment patternsPersonality clashes Still important — but still not the root. 3️⃣ The Spiritual Layer This is the foundation of one flesh. This is where covenant lives. This is where unity is either protected or attacked. Now pay attention to what I’m about to say, in fact write this down: If you only work on behaviour and emotions, but ignore the spiritual layer, you leave the most important door wide open. You can regulate your tone. You can read your attachment style. You can learn conflict scripts. But if your marriage is under spiritual pressure — behavioural change alone won’t hold. You end up trying to fix a spiritual leak with emotional duct tape. And eventually… it fails. III. BODY POINT 2 — The Red Flags of Spiritual Warfare The devil hates families. He hates covenant. He hates stability, safety, and generational healing. And no — saying “I do” does not make you immune. If anything, marriage puts a target on your back. Lets move forward quickly, How do you know if you are under spiritual warfare? : here are four signs that what you’re facing is more than a personality clash: 🚩 1. The Escalation Loop Simple conversations escalates quickly or explode. For instance, You start talking about dishes… And suddenly you’re fighting about respect, worth, and past wounds. Afterwards You walk away exhausted, feeling guilt or ashamed, and emotionally bruised because of what you said or how you behaved — every time. 🚩 2. Another sign is The Counselling Wall When You’ve done therapy or couple counselling. and You’ve implemented strategies. But the atmosphere in your home doesn’t shift. instead YOUR Insight increases — but your intimacy doesn’t. 🚩sign no 3. Strategy Fatigue When You’ve changed your tone. for example You’ve stopped “nagging.” You’ve tried silence, softness, and self-improvement. Yet the home still feels heavy. 🚩sign no 4. The Blind Spot Everyone else can see a clear issue in your spouse — but he genuinely cannot. Or he Minimises it. Deflects or Spiritual numbness. That’s often not stubbornness — it’s a stronghold. Let me say this clearly: When common sense fails and counselling stalls, you are not dealing with immaturity. You are dealing with spiritual resistance. BODY POINT 3 — Let me introduce you to Your New Job Description: Intercessor It is time to stop discussing your marriage problems with every 'well-meaning' person. Unless that person is ready to go into the trenches of midnight prayer and fasting with you, they are just noise. Your ...

If you need immediate support, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. TRANSCRIPT Mav, this is a strong first draft already. What you were sensing is right: it needed more depth, flow, grounding, and emotional anchoring so it feels like a conversation you can live inside, not just points on a list. Below is a fully fleshed-out, podcast-ready script you can read smoothly on a teleprompter. It’s warm, confident, Gen Z / Gen Y friendly, spiritually rich, simple English, and solution-focused. I’ve woven in searchable Christian + spiritual keywords naturally (new season with God, spiritual alignment, prayer life, fasting, God’s will, Holy Spirit led life, intentional living, moving in silence, etc.). Podcast Script: Starting 2026 Strong — A Spirit-Led Blueprint for a New Season Intro Hey family. Happy 2026. We actually made it. And before we rush into goals, plans, or pressure… I want to pause right here and ask you something gently: Did you just slide into this year… or did you transition? Because there is a difference. Waking up on January 1st is automatic. But crossing over intentionally—that’s spiritual. This is not just a calendar change. This is a new season with God. A unique 12-month assignment. And if we’re not careful, 2026 can easily become 2025 part two. Not this time. Today, I want to give you a simple, spirit-led blueprint to start this year strong—emotionally, spiritually, and practically. No pressure. No hype. Just alignment. Point 1: Recognise the Power of a New Season Let me start here. I really hope you didn’t take this transition lightly. Because in the spiritual realm, new seasons matter. As Christians, we sometimes treat new months, birthdays, anniversaries, or even a new year like, “Oh… it’s just another day.” But it’s not. In Scripture, seasons, times, and transitions are significant. They are markers. They are portals. They are moments of reset and realignment. And what’s interesting is this: People who aren’t even Christian understand this. They honour first days. They journal on birthdays. They set intentions on anniversaries. They don’t treat milestones casually. So why should we? This year, I want you to become intentional with transitions. When a new month starts—pause and pray. When it’s your birthday—don’t just celebrate, consecrate. When a new season begins—acknowledge it spiritually. Don’t just let life happen to you. Commence it with authority. Say, “God, I recognise this as a new season. I step into it consciously, not casually.” That alone will shift how you experience 2026. Point 2: Seek God’s Will Before You Set Goals Now let’s talk about goals—because I know that’s where everyone’s mind is. Vision boards. Plans. Big dreams. And I ...

    EP. 45| STOP PANICKING. THIS WILL CHANGE HOW YOU SEE YOUR SITUATION
    Dec 29 2025
    If you’re on holidays right now, save this episode for later—it’s one you’ll want to come back to when you need grounding, reassurance, and hope. In times of crisis, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and lost—especially when it feels like you’ve run out of options. In this episode, we explore fear, faith, and God’s provision, drawing on powerful biblical stories to show how a shift in perspective can reveal the help that has been there all along.

TRANSCRIPT [0:00 - 1:30] THE PROPHETIC OPENING Host: "Welcome back. Today, I’m speaking to the person who feels like they’ve reached the end of their supply. You’re in a desert season, and the water in your bottle has run out. You’re looking at your dreams, your business, or your children, and you’re whispering, 'I can’t watch this die.' As your coach and as a student of the Word, I want to tell you: The provision you are crying for isn't coming—it’s already there. You just can’t see it yet. Today, we’re looking at Hagar and Abraham to unlock the spiritual sight required to see your 'Well' and your 'Ram.'" [1:30 - 4:30] SECTION 1: HAGAR – THE BLINDNESS OF PANIC (Genesis 21) Host: "Let’s look at Hagar in Genesis 21. She’s cast out. She’s in the desert of Beersheba. The Bible says she tucked her son, Ishmael, under a bush because she couldn’t bear to watch him die. She was sobbing. She was in a state of total nervous system collapse—survival mode at its peak. Prophetically, notice this: God hears the boy crying. He speaks to Hagar and says, 'What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid.' And then, Genesis 21:19 says, 'Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.' The Coaching Insight: The well didn't suddenly materialize out of thin air when she stopped crying. The well was likely there the whole time. But fear has a physiological and spiritual effect—it narrows your vision. Panic creates a 'scarcity blind spot.' You are so busy mourning the empty bottle in your hand that you cannot see the overflowing well at your feet. Is God not providing, or are you just too afraid to look up? I prophecy over you today: Your eyes are being opened. The 'Well' in your desert is about to be revealed." [4:30 - 7:30] SECTION 2: ABRAHAM – THE POSTURE OF FAITH (Genesis 22) Host: "Now, let’s pivot to a different mountain. Genesis 22. Abraham is walking up Moriah with Isaac—the son he waited 25 years for. Isaac, being a smart kid, asks the million-dollar question: 'Father, the fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb?' Abraham’s response is the ultimate masterclass in faith. He doesn't vent his anxiety. He doesn't complain about the 'unfairness' of the test. He says: 'God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.' The Theological Depth: Abraham wasn't lying to Isaac; he was speaking from a place of 'Postured Faith.' He knew that the God who gave the promise was responsible for the provision. He walked all the way to the point of no return—he actually raised the knife—before the intervention happened. And what happened? He looked up, and there, caught in a thicket, was a ram. The Lesson: For Hagar, the provision was a Well (sustenance for the journey). For Abraham, the provision was a Ram (a substitute for the sacrifice). God ...
