Your body isn’t a burden to manage — it’s a temple to honor. In this episode of Married in Ministry, we explore what it means to care for your body not out of guilt or vanity, but out of gratitude and obedience to God. From rest and nourishment to movement and mindset, this conversation is a grace-filled reminder that your physical health is spiritual too. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, this episode invites you to embrace sacred stewardship — because honoring your body is another way to worship the God who created you with purpose.

Conflict is a part of every marriage — even one centered on Christ. In this episode, we get real about the tensions that arise in relationships, especially in the pressures of parenting and ministry. Through scripture, stories, and honest conversation, we explore how God’s grace transforms conflict from a battleground into holy ground. Whether you're in a season of silence or shouting, this episode reminds you that Jesus meets you right in the middle — inviting you to listen, forgive, and love like He does.

Some days, parenting feels holy. Other days? You're just trying not to lose your mind! In this week's episode we open up about the sacred gift of our kids, partnering with God as parents, letting go of the "perfect parent" myth, and why grace, not perfection, is the goal. This one is for everyone whether you are in the thick of it with toddlers, raising a teenager, empty nesters, or not thinking of having children at all and just want to understand what your friends and loved ones are feeling! Remember: you don't have to be a perfect parent, just a present one!

Today, we are talking about friendship and what that looks like as we get older, our families start to grow, and our time starts to dwindle. We chat about the importance of finding the right people, how to discern who God is putting in your life for a reason, and how to pursue and maintain those friendships despite the busyness of everyday life. We share our own journey, struggles, and triumphs and hope/pray they can help you in whatever little way that you are not alone and most certainly don't have to be when you center your life on the community God created us to be a part of.

On today's episode, we are talking about trusting God as you step into seasons of the unknown and knowing that His plans for you are truly all that matters, He will never lead you astray, and He is always enough. Join us for a discussion about trust, faith, and surrounding yourselves with the right people who challenge you, love you, and genuinely want to walk with you through whatever season you may be facing.

Today we are talking about what vulnerability means for us and the fears, anxiety and ultimate freedom associated with it. We have stepped into a season in our life where being vulnerable is a necessity but that doesn't mean it's not scary. But we don't have to do this alone. We are learning how to navigate these waters and how God can use all of our unique testimonies to bring light to a lost and broken world around us.

We kick off today's episode by diving a little deeper into the heart of this podcast and what we feel God is using this platform for and how we can use it for good. We then tackle the subject of rest and what it means to have a Sabbath, what it all means to us in this season and some practices that we have tried to employ in our own lives that hopefully can help folks who are struggling to find what it means to them.

Join us for our first episode as Mike and Heather talk about their journey with Christ as a couple and how He led them to one another. We will wrap things up by discussing our heart for why we are making this podcast and the hope we have for its direction and future as we let God lead us on this journey!
