Ep. 139: Out with the Old, In with the New: How to Renew Your Marriage God's Way

If you're tired of repeating the same arguments, feeling stuck in old habits, or just wondering how to truly grow together as a couple—this episode is for you.

We're discussing what it really means to renew your marriage God's way—not just through behavior change, but through heart transformation. Straight from Ephesians 4:22–24, we're walking you through God's process of:

Taking off the old
Renewing your mind
Putting on the new

This is God's design for lasting change—and it's not just for individuals, it's for marriages too.

💡 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

Why lasting change in marriage can't happen by simply "trying harder"
What it means to take off the old self—and how to recognize what needs to go
How to replace lies and toxic patterns with truth from God's Word
Practical ways to "put on the new" and walk in unity, grace, and love
Why skipping the renewing your mind step will always leave you stuck
