One Degree Marriage: a Christian Marriage Podcast

In this quick (for us) episode, we're sharing four simple things you can do every day to invest in your marriage. From high-low-buffalo check-ins to six-second hugs, serving each other, and praying together, these small habits add up big time. Plus, a funny story about our five-year-old future lawyer. Let's get intentional—without overcomplicating it! Mentioned in this episode: Download the FREE W...

In this episode of the One Degree Podcast, we're talking about what it looks like to go from feeling like roommates in your marriage to actually thriving as a team. We're sharing honest convos, practical tips, and real-life stuff that's helped us stay connected and rooted in our faith—especially in the thick of busy, everyday life. We'll chat about how easy it is to drift into that "just coexistin...

What if sharing your faith felt as natural as chatting with a coworker over lunch? In this episode of One Degree Podcast , we break down practical evangelism strategies—like the "Three Circles" and the "bridge" analogy—that make it easier to share the gospel in everyday conversations without feeling preachy. We also dive into the church's role in equipping believers, looking at how the early churc...

If you're a Christian, you probably know you should share your faith—but actually doing it? That's a different story. Maybe you feel confident and wonder why others don't share the gospel more often. Maybe you've tried, but it felt awkward and forced. Or maybe you don't even know where to start and feel guilty every time you think about it. Wherever you land, this episode is for you. Too often, Ch...

Are smartphones just tools, or are they quietly taking over our lives? One of our pastors, Adam Magnuson, joins us on the comfy, virtual, cozy couch to tackle the big questions: Are our phones empowering us or enslaving us? Should we all ditch our smartphones for dumb phones? And how can we break free from the endless scroll? Tune in for a fun and thought-provoking conversation on how to use techn...

In this Q&A episode, we dive into why we chose to homeschool our kids. From our initial hesitations to our current motivations, we share how our perspective on homeschooling has evolved over time. We talk about our desire to disciple our kids, prioritize flexibility, and foster a love for learning, as well as how we handle critiques like "aren't you just sheltering them?" We also answer practical...

It's the season of fresh starts and lofty goals! In this chit chat episode on the comfy virutal couch, we're diving into the world of New Year's resolutions—what we love about them, why they sometimes flop, and what goals we have for ourselves this year. From fitness plans and homemaking hacks to staying consistent in reading our Bibles, we're sharing our personal resolutions for the year ahead an...

In this episode, we dive into the Fourth Commandment and unpack its significance for Christians today. Many Christians would agree that all of God's commandments are still relevant, except for the Sabbath. But is that the right approach? We'll explore why God took the Sabbath so seriously, why it's for our good, and how it was designed to be a gift, not a burden. Plus, we'll discuss what it looks...

What does it mean to truly honor the name of the Lord, and to not use it in vain? In this episode, we dive into the Third Commandment: "Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God." While many think it simply prohibits phrases like "OMG" and "GD" there's far more to this command. From understanding the Hebrew word Shav —which conveys emptiness and falsehood—to exploring how we bear God's name in d...

In this episode of the One Degree Podcast , we're unpacking the second commandment and its relevance to our present lives. Building on last week's "no other gods" chat, we dive into Exodus 20:4-5, which tells us to ditch the idols—whether golden calves or 21st-century distractions. We'll explore how idolatry goes beyond statues to anything that tries to edge God out. Join us for a lively discussio...

As always, thank you...

It can be very easy for these tasks to become discouraging and for us to feel purposeless as we spend so much of our time doing them....
