The Team Wade Podcast

What if the most powerful change in your marriage doesn’t come from better arguments, but from a safer heart? We explore the often-misunderstood role of a wife as a true helper—comforter, advocate, and counselor—called alongside her husband to steady the home, guard trust, and spark courage when life hits hard. We unpack a raw story of financial turmoil and how loyalty, careful words, and shared r...

What if the surest way to heal a home is to pick up a towel instead of a scorecard? From our live recording at the Forever One Conference, we pull back the curtain on 33 years of lessons learned the hard way—how ego, entitlement, and sharp words can scorch a marriage, and how sowing life through service can restore warmth, trust, and desire. This isn’t theory; it’s a field guide drawn from Scriptu...

The loudest voices in our lives aren’t always the wisest. When comparison, “my money” thinking, and curated highlight reels start setting the rules for your relationship, small cracks become real divides. We unpack how popular culture sneaks into marriage—through finances, privacy, and role expectations—and replace those scripts with a grounded approach to oneness rooted in trust, fairness, and a...

Are you mistaking healthy leadership for control—or excusing control as care? We dive into the messy, everyday places where power shows up in marriage: the words we choose, the vows we made as kids to stay safe, the way we handle money, and how we discipline our children. Through our own story, we map the thin line between authority that serves the home and manipulation that steals free will. We s...

What if the hardest moments in your marriage are actually your greatest opportunities to grow? We dig into a bold idea: marriage will expose what’s been dormant—old wounds, unhelpful beliefs, and protective habits—and that exposure can become the doorway to healing when you choose humility, practice, and faith-led action. We break down why becoming one reveals what dating can’t, and why living tog...

What happens when you remove all escape routes from your marriage? After nearly 33 years together, we've discovered that viewing marriage as "a room with no windows and no doors" creates the foundation for lasting love. Scripture is clear: God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). This powerful truth reveals that divorce originates from the kingdom of darkness, not from God's heart. Wh...

Covenant over convenience. This powerful principle has anchored our marriage for nearly 33 years and continues to be our rallying cry against the epidemic of broken marriages. We dive deep into why we made the non-negotiable decision that divorce would never be an option in our relationship. Rather than approaching marriage as merely an emotional arrangement, we committed to viewing it as the divi...

What does it mean to be a "curse breaker" in your marriage?

After 32 years together (soon to be 33), we've discovered there truly is a "sweet spot" in marriage – but it took us nearly a decade of challenges to find it.

Marriage thrives on humility and withers under pride. But what exactly does pride look like in a relationship, and how can you recognize when it's sabotaging your connection? Pride operates with remarkable stealth, disguising itself as self-protection or righteousness while systematically dismantling intimacy. In this revealing episode, we continue our examination of how pride undermines marr...

The silent destroyer lurking in countless marriages has a name—pride. It's that stubborn refusal to bend, that self-focused certainty that you're right and your spouse is wrong, and that resistance to outside help that keeps so many couples locked in cycles of conflict. Our conversation picks up from our previous discussion, diving deeper into the specific ways pride sabotages marriages....

Could pride be the invisible force destroying your marriage? In this eye-opening conversation, we tackle one of the most dangerous yet unrecognized threats to marital harmony, pride that operates like bad breath: everyone notices it except the person who has it.
