The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young - Daily Radio

In today’s culture, the biblical definition of marriage and family is under severe attack.  It is increasingly evident that the family, like a house, needs a firm foundation if it is to survive the storms that threaten its stability. Only a firm foundation will enable the family to be strong, to grow, and to become all that it can and should be.

There are injustices in our society, and we know that racial animosity has led to wars, discrimination, and oppression for centuries. The church has a responsibility to advocate for the poor, the sick, and the marginalized, but to also remember that God is no respecter of persons. Only at the cross do we see what true reconciliation looks like.

A dangerous and ungodly challenge to a biblical worldview has infiltrated our schools and the institutions that serve families. Jesus issued a particularly stern warning that is still relevant today to anyone who would place a stumbling block in the path of a child and thereby corrupt the innocence of childhood.

There is only one way to turn a house into a home, and that is to build it God’s way. When you use God’s blueprint, and invite Him to be the general contractor, your home will have a solid foundation and will withstand any storm that may come against it.

There is conflict in any relationship, and marriage is no exception. But there is good news. Whether your marriage is in SOS mode or is simply “so-so,” these clear and practical instructions will help you speak the truth in love and get your relationship back on the road to success.

A good marriage exhibits timing, balance, strength and beauty. The Holy Spirit is the choreographer who provides the instructions and empowers the husband and wife, in full partnership, to dance this wonderful dance of marriage according to God’s design.

To exert a positive influence on our families and our culture, we must be pure in our motives, thoughts, and lifestyle. But impurity can creep into our lives, one small step at a time, unless we avoid the dangers of the gradualism that draws our minds and our bodies away from a walk of obedience and service.

When you invite Jesus to be your Life Coach, He will point you to the Playbook that provides His game plan for the abundant life. This Playbook, the Bible, will teach you how to get out of the stands and into the thrilling experience of a life that works.

Big problems have a way of bringing a husband and wife closer to one another. But little problems – those little inconsistencies, oversights, and negative attitudes – can undermine and destroy a relationship. What we need to keep our marriages sacred, holy and vibrant is exactly what God’s Word provides for us – a security system!

An alarmingly high percentage of men and women report that they, at some time in their lives, have been unfaithful to their marriage vows. Adultery is serious, and it goes against everything God holds sacred. When we learn to recognize some of the underlying causes of adultery, we have taken a big step toward avoiding it.

The Bible has a lot to say about sex! Sexual intimacy is a sacred gift from God to be celebrated in the exclusivity of marriage. When a husband and wife experience the transparency, openness, and sacredness of marriage as God intended, they realize the miracle of God’s divine math in which “one plus one equals one.”

Outside of our relationship with God, marriage is the most important relationship we will ever have. That is why the Bible provides clear principles ton how you and your spouse can become a winning team. Learn to push through any challenges to build a better marriage.

While divorce was never God’s original design for marriage, healing, restoration, and even a stronger love are possible after failure—if a second marriage is built God’s way. The teaching stresses the seriousness of marriage and divorce, the need for spiritual healing and wisdom before remarrying, and the importance of choosing a relationship grounded in shared faith, biblical values, and obedienc...

A successful, joy-filled marriage is not the result of luck – it requires hard work! If you want your marriage to progress from the romance and intimacy of the honeymoon stage to the strength and stability of mature love, you need to avoid, or move through, the challenges that may otherwise lead to depression or divorce.

Strong marriages and struggling marriages both have one thing in common: communication. The difference is that healthy communication is a skill that must be learned and practiced through emotional connection, physical affection, and spiritual intimacy, because real communication is about far more than just words—it’s also tone, body language, and intentional connection. How well are you and your s...

What difference does a shadow make? Our words and our actions send out ripples that have an influence on others. Often that influence is unconscious, but it is also irrevocable. As members of the family of God, we need to stay close to the Light so that we will cast as long a shadow of godly influence as we can.

In our fallen and broken world, it is increasingly challenging to discern what is true so that we can think correctly about human sexuality. Since what we believe determines how we live, this practical message exposes several myths about sexuality and the dangers inherent in them.

In today’s culture there is a total misunderstanding of human sexuality. God invented sex, and His first command to Adam and Eve in the Garden was to be fruitful and multiply. When we follow God’s directions for sexual intimacy in marriage, we will discover the wonder of this special gift of God.

Because our mate knows more about us than anyone else, God will often use our marriage as a mirror that forces us to take an honest look at ourselves. We can trust that when we see ourselves clearly, God will give us the power, through His Holy Spirit, to make the changes that will help us grow in our relationship with Him.

Marriage is the most important relationship we have outside of our relationship with Jesus Christ. Marriage is God’s idea, and He has a plan and a purpose for this important and sacred relationship. God has provided a prescription for having a great marriage – and we can trust that God’s way works.

Is there a prescription for marriage that lasts a lifetime? God’s principles are the only ones that work – every single time. Six key words describe what it takes to get your marriage on the right track and keep it there no matter what may come against it.

It is virtually impossible to overstate the intensity of the attacks on marriage and the family today. How can you protect your marriage or restore a marriage that is struggling? The determining factor is the foundation on which the marriage is built. Protect your marriage by building on a solid biblical foundation.

There is a divine math that takes place in marriage; in the covenant that is marriage, one plus one equals one. Marriages thrive when couples understand that their highest priority is now their mate. You focus on the oneness and unity that is only achieved when your marriage operates on the principles God has given in His Word.

Most of us find it difficult to offer or give true forgiveness. When an affair, betrayal, conflict or little irritations destroy trust or undermine unity in a marriage, we need to understand what is involved in genuine, biblical forgiveness. That begins with our understanding of the character of God and the forgiveness He extended to us, in love, at the Cross of Jesus.

Outside of our relationship with God, marriage is the most important relationship we will ever have. That is why the Bible provides clear principles that work whether you are a newlywed or have been married for many years. When marriages get into trouble, the root of the problem is often a case of selfishness. Learn to recognize the symptoms and the cure.
