Brought to you by ⁠ The Marriage Academy⁠ Most spouses think rejection is something that happened to them. Scripture reveals something far more confronting: rejection is something we come into agreement with. In this teaching, we expose how deception always precedes rejection—and why living from rejection reshapes your identity, your decisions, and ultimately the fruit of your marriage. Rejection...

This episode is about what happens long before a marriage ever reaches the point of divorce or full destruction. In this teaching, we break down the biblical stages of marriage destruction—the progressive spiritual drift that takes a covenant from God’s design into chaos, confusion, and eventually death. Scripture tells us that death is not sudden—it is what happens when chaos is complete. In this...

Brought to you by ⁠The Marriage Academy⁠ A marriage will never rise above the level of counsel surrounding it. In this message, Derek reveals one of the most overlooked causes of stalled, confused, and collapsing marriages: false, unconsecrated counsel. Not every pastor is safe. Not every therapist is God-led. Not every friend, mentor, or church is spiritually alive. And when the voices around you...

Brought to you by ⁠ The Marriage Academy⁠ As we move beyond the foundations of inner healing and deliverance, we must learn how to identify spiritual strongholds—especially in our marriages and families. If we are going to live as sons and daughters of Christ, walking in covenant, functioning as the Body of Christ, and operating as a mobilized Ekklesia, we must be rooted in the right stronghold: C...

Brought to you by The Marriage Academy Marriage Wisdom is a new series on The Established Family Podcast where we share timeless, biblical truths concerning God's heart and foundation for marriage. This clip lays the theological groundwork for why inner healing and deliverance are not optional for the believer—or for a marriage walking in God’s design. Salvation is not only about being forgive...

In this episode, we confront a hard truth the Church has avoided:your marriage will not heal, grow, or last unless its Kingdom mission is restored. Jesus said:“He who does not gather with Me scatters.” — Luke 11:23 In this teaching, we break down why Kingdom mission in marriage is rooted in three non-negotiables:Glory — the weight of God’s presencAuthority — the right to rule under His presenceOff...

In today’s episode, Derek exposes one of the deepest spiritual roots behind marital destruction: the false oaths, internal vows, and unholy agreements spouses make during pain, betrayal, fear, and exhaustion. This message walks you through the biblical difference between promises, oaths, vows, and agreements —and how violating the order of God leaves marriages spiritually bound, oppressed, and dis...

A marriage without true repentance will always fail. In this episode, Derek shares a raw and redemptive testimony about how repentance became the turning point that shifted everything in their marriage. Before there was restoration… before there was healing… there had to be a confrontation of pride, blindness, and spiritual apathy. God doesn’t just heal what’s broken — He exposes what’s unrepentan...

Your marriage doesn’t just need better communication—it needs deliverance. This isn’t about personality differences or unmet expectations… this is about spiritual realities that still have legal access to your marriage, your mind, and your emotions. In this episode, Derek exposes why so many Christian spouses are saved but still bound, and how unhealed areas of the soul (mind, will, emotions, and...

In this episode, Derek and Jordan go deep into what it means to prepare for your new marriage. Most spouses interpret distance, silence, or delay as God being against them—but few recognize that He’s actually reordering them. Before restoration comes reformation. Before covenant is rebuilt, the individuals within it must be remade. This conversation walks through three critical areas God refines b...

In this episode, we dive deep into a topic that often gets overlooked in marriage: the difference between wounds carried into the marriage (pre-marriage wounds) and wounds that arise in the marriage (in-marriage wounds). If you’ve noticed recurring conflict, cycles you can't seem to break, or strain in your relationship that doesn’t seem to make sense, this one is for you. We’ll unpack: Why si...

In this episode, we talk about the rise of false brides in the church, the danger of false stands in marriage, and the spiritual deception that’s entering homes under the disguise of faith. Many believers have received salvation, but they’re building their marriages in their own name instead of God’s. This message will shake every spouse who’s praying for restoration but standing from the wrong po...

The Church is failing marriages...but marriages are also failing the Church. We’ve watched believers show up for service, serve faithfully, tithe consistently and still live in bondage. Why? Because the modern church looks alive, but carries no authority. And marriages keep feeding that same system with unhealed hearts, unbroken pride, and unrepentant patterns. In this episode, Derek breaks down w...

If you’ve been praying for restoration, fasting, forgiving, and still feel like nothing is changing, this episode will help you understand why. Many spouses want breakthrough in marriage but have never actually encountered God. Without an encounter, we stay bound to the same cycles—bitterness, offense, pride, self-righteousness, and unbelief. This conversation exposes what really keeps couples fro...

Your marriage pain isn’t random. Every disruption, every cycle, every unanswered prayer — it’s not God ignoring you. It’s God positioning you. But here’s the hard truth most people don’t want to hear:👉 Without purification, there is no restoration.👉 Without holiness, there is no healing.👉 Without consecration, there is no Kingdom positioning. In this episode, we dive deep into:The 5 truths that...

Most people in the church, in counseling, and even in marriage ministries don’t realize the truth: DISC, Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, and the Temperaments are not harmless tools—they are rooted in doctrines of demons. In this episode, I expose the origins of these popular personality systems and show you why they are so dangerous for marriages and families. These tests may look like “wisdom,” but thei...

Marriage is under attack—and most husbands and wives were never taught how to fight for it. In this episode of Prophetic Spouses, Derek exposes the false foundations that have whitewashed marriages and calls spouses back to God’s prophetic design for covenant, order, and restoration. No one prepared you for the real demands of marriage. No one showed you how to engage in spiritual warfare for your...

In this episode of Submission Part 2: Boundaries, Triggers & Traumas, we confront one of the greatest deceptions shaping marriages and families today. Our generation is obsessed with therapy trends, self-protection, and man-made fictions. We’ve traded God’s design for psychological language that soothes the flesh but never heals the spirit.👉 Full disclosure therapy leaves you suspicious inste...

Most Christian marriages aren’t stuck because of communication issues, intimacy struggles, or personality differences. They’re stuck because of disorder — rebellion against God’s design for marriage, leadership, submission, and covenant. In this episode, we confront the uncomfortable reality: You can’t pray for restoration while resisting the order God established for it. ➔ If you’re still clingin...

Your marriage wasn’t designed to be fruitless, barren, or broken. But if it feels that way, you need to know this— the enemy has been working overtime to keep it that way. Satan blinds, seduces, and strangles marriages —stealing their spiritual sight, twisting their design, and keeping spouses trapped in cycles of strife, lack, and division. But God’s design has never changed. In this episode, we’...

Are You Labeling Your Spouse… Or Are They Spiritually Captured? We are living in the times that 2 Timothy 4:3-4 warned us about—where people reject sound doctrine in favor of teachings that satisfy their itching ears. And right now, Satan is gaslighting marriages with false labels. Many spouses believe they’re married to a narcissist, a Jezebel, or an Ahab—and while we won’t pretend these things d...

Is God ignoring your spouse’s sin, or are you still living under the old law? Many believers are unknowingly governed by the law—trained to look for what is wrong, what is missing, and what is not being upheld. This mindset fuels hyper-vigilance, hyper-criticism, and hyper-legalism, leaving many feeling exhausted, anxious, and spiritually stuck. In this episode, we unpack how the law blinds you fr...

Breaking Stubborn Strongholds in Marriage In Season 2, Episode 2 of The Established Family Podcast, we tackle the topic of breaking the strongholds that affect every aspect of our lives—from our own minds and marriages to our families and future generations. This episode unpacks how false authority and entrenched spiritual deceptions create these fortresses and why many fail to recognize the need...

What if your stand for marriage isn’t as Godly as you think? Many spouses believe they’re standing in faith, waiting for God to restore their marriage—praying, repenting, and holding on. But what if faith alone isn’t enough? What if your stand has become an idol? What if your obedience is incomplete? In this episode, we’re breaking down the hidden dangers of standing for your marriage the wrong wa...
