Fight For Your Marriage Podcast

In this powerful episode of the Fight for Your Marriage Podcast, you'll hear James share his remarkable journey of God's redemption. James was once the prodigal spouse, running from God, running from his marriage, and unaware of the prayers being lifted for him day after day by his wife.

But then the roles unexpectedly reversed. His wife reached a breaking point and said she had finally had enough. She left. And suddenly, James found himself in a position he never imagined: he became the standing spouse, fighting and praying for his marriage.

James openly shares the heartbreak, the humbling, and the holiness of this season. He talks about what God has been teaching him and how He is using others to speak encouragement when he is weary.

Whether you are a prodigal, a stander, or someone who loves a prodigal, James' testimony will encourage you to keep praying, keep believing, and keep trusting the God who restores.

When you're standing for your marriage, it can be easy to let your heart grow weary. You may find yourself longing for God and going through the spiritual disciplines, but still feeling broken or burned out.

In this episode of the Fight for Your Marriage Podcast, Charlyne and Lori talk with author and Bible teacher Asheritah Ciuciu about how to lift your gaze from your to-do list and get to know the One who spun the stars and knows you by name.

You will rediscover that true joy and peace can be found in the presence of Jesus Himself.

Asheritah shares insights from her book, Delighting in Jesus, reminding us that even in seasons of heartbreak or uncertainty, we can find lasting joy in the One who never changes. This conversation will help you fix your eyes on Christ, strengthen your faith in the waiting, and remind you that joy is still possible, even right in the middle of your stand.

At the end of the episode, Asheritah leads us through a beautiful prayer exercise that helps you quiet your heart and delight in Jesus right where you are.

Do you ever feel like God can use everyone else, but not you? Pastor Ed Newton joins Lori for a powerful conversation about discovering who you are in Christ and learning to believe what God believes about you.

In his new book, Why Not You? Believing What God Believes About You, Pastor Ed shares his journey through depression and how he came to understand how he can walk in God's confidence. Together, Lori and Pastor Ed unpack what it means to walk in your God-given identity, overcome self-doubt, and trust that your past mistakes don't disqualify you from God's purpose.

You'll be reminded that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that God's plans for your life are still good, regardless of what you are facing today.

Kate's story is one of deep transformation through Christ. From childhood, she carried the wounds of rejection and exposure to things no child should face. After her parents' divorce, she sought approval in relationships and substances, not realizing she was really searching for the love of God.

When her marriage began to crumble, Kate discovered that her husband had become an idol in her life. In her brokenness, she surrendered fully to Jesus, and that is when everything changed. Today, Kate shares how God healed her heart, gave her a new identity in Him, and is teaching her to trust Him with her marriage.

Her testimony will encourage you to stop striving, release control, and trust the Lord with every part of your life. As you listen, you'll be reminded that God heals hurting homes by first transforming one heart at a time.
