  • EP 163 \\ The One Ingredient Your Marriage Needs to Improve Intimacy: Rest
    Jul 3 2025

    Hi friend!

    Let’s talk about something often overlooked—but essential—for a healthy, thriving marriage: REST. Not just physical rest, but the kind that restores your mind, heart, and your connection with your spouse.

    What if the closeness you’re craving isn’t about more time or better communication, but about learning to slow down together?

    In a world that celebrates busyness, many couples are quietly running on empty—tired, disconnected, and just trying to keep up. But what if rest isn’t a luxury? What if it’s one of the keys to thriving in your relationship?

    In today’s episode, we unpack why rest—not more effort—might be exactly what your marriage needs this season. If you desire deeper intimacy, emotional connection, and closeness, then this episode is for you.

  • EP 162 \\ Men’s Mental Health: You Are Not Alone
    Jun 26 2025

    Men’s Mental Health: You Are Not Alone

    “I can’t hide myself I don’t expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it’s like to be a man It’s a lonely road, and they don’t care about what you know It’s not about how you feel but what you provide inside that home.” — Dax, “To Be a Man”

    This is the chorus of Dax’s song “To Be a Man”—and I know some husbands out there can really relate. The pressure. The silence. The weight of holding it all together by providing.

    So as we wrap up June and Men’s Health Month, I want to speak directly to my brothers:

    You don’t have to walk through it alone.

    Taking care of your mental and physical health isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom. It’s strength.

    And it’s one of the greatest things you can do for yourself, your marriage and your family.

    No matter where you are in this season—or how deep the struggle feels right now—know this:

    There is hope. And there is help.

    Let’s talk about it.

    David

    Feeling like your needs aren’t being met in your marriage? Wondering if love is starting to feel one-sided? You’re not alone—and you need a P.L.A.N.

    Marriage was designed to reflect God’s love. But what happens when you feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally disconnected?

    In today’s episode, we’re unpacking how to respond when your spouse isn’t meeting your emotional or relational needs—not with bitterness or shutdown, but with wisdom rooted in God’s Word.

    We’ll walk you through a simple, godly P.L.A.N. to help you respond with faith, courage, and intentional love—no matter where you are in your marriage.

    Whether you’re in a difficult season or just feeling the slow drift of disconnection, this conversation will help you lead with love, stay anchored in the Truth of God's Word, and invite God into the unmet places of your heart.

    Let’s dive in.
