Unrelenting Pursuit

This episode is really special to us… because it’s our 200th episode! And if we’re honest—this journey has stretched us in ways we didn’t expect. It’s grown us, exposed things in us, healed places we didn’t even realize were still hurting… and through all of it, God has been so faithful. In this episode, we’re taking time to reflect on what He’s done—not just in this podcast, but in us. The obedie...

Sometimes healing doesn’t look the way we expected it to. In this episode, we set out to walk through 20 signs your marriage is healing… and honestly, we didn’t even get through all of them. But maybe that’s the point. Because healing isn’t a checklist you complete—it’s something you begin to notice in the small shifts… the quieter reactions… the moments where you choose differently, even when it’...

We are living in a time where women can do anything… and yet fewer are choosing marriage and motherhood. Why? In this episode, we unpack the cultural shift that’s separating what was once deeply connected—commitment, family, and children. We talk about the lies we’ve believed about success, the fear and pressure many women carry, and why motherhood has started to feel like “less than.” But what if...

We live in a world that constantly tells us we’re overwhelmed, overbooked, and at capacity—but what if that’s not the full truth? In this episode, we talk about the difference between being overloaded and being misaligned . Because sometimes it’s not that we’re carrying too much… it’s that we’re carrying the wrong things. Learning to increase your capacity isn’t about doing more—it’s about becomin...

In this episode, we’re talking about something that sounds simple… but is actually deeply challenging— solitude . What happens when God asks you to lay down not just sin, but your wants, your noise, and your need to stay busy? I share personally how difficult it has been to quiet my mind and sit still before Him—and what He’s been revealing in that space. If your mind feels constantly full and slo...

You can’t build a strong life on weak foundations. In this episode, we challenge the idea that doing “well overall” is enough. Because if one pillar is weak—your spiritual life, your health, your emotions, your relationships, your work, or your finances—it will eventually impact everything. We share where we’ve struggled personally and invite you to take a real, honest inventory of your own life....

There is a point in marriage restoration where working on the relationship can quietly turn into overworking the relationship. Every conversation becomes serious. Every interaction becomes an evaluation. Every moment together feels like it has to produce progress. Without realizing it, you can slip into fix-it mode — where connection is replaced with pressure, safety is replaced with performance,...

Secure attachment is not about being perfect - In this final episode of our attachment series, we talk about what it looks like to live and love from a place of emotional security. Secure individuals are able to communicate clearly, handle conflict without panic, and remain present even when relationships feel uncomfortable. We will explore how secure attachment shows up in marriage, parenting, an...

Have you ever felt like part of you deeply wants connection… but another part of you doesn’t trust it? Fearful-avoidant attachment lives in that tension. In this episode, we talk about the push–pull cycle that happens when someone both craves closeness and fears it . This attachment style often forms in chaotic or traumatic environments, and it can create emotional swings, confusion about needs, a...

In this episode of Unrelenting Pursuit , we’re diving into avoidant (dismissive) attachment — the style that often says, “I’ll handle this myself.” Avoidant attachment isn’t about not caring. It’s about learning early on that emotions felt unsafe or overwhelming — so independence became protection. We explore how this plays out in: Marriage — withdrawing during conflict, struggling to verbalize em...

In this episode, we take a deep dive into anxious attachment —what it is, how it forms, and how it quietly shapes the way we love, lead, and parent. If you’ve ever felt afraid of being abandoned, needed constant reassurance, or found yourself overthinking every conversation or conflict, you may lean toward an anxious attachment style. Many people with anxious attachment love deeply, give generousl...

In this episode, we sit down with Chris and Jamie Bailey from Expedition Marriage to talk about the full journey of parenting—from the daily work of raising our kids to the emotional leap of eventually launching them. No matter the season, the call is the same: to trust God with what we can’t control and to remember that where we can’t be, He always is. We explore how to stay united as a couple, h...

Soft Christianity teaches us to stay safe, avoid discomfort, and keep our faith at a surface level. But when we resist conviction, avoid growth, and choose comfort over transformation, it doesn’t just affect us—it affects our marriage. A faith that never challenges you will never change you. And a marriage that isn’t anchored in real transformation will struggle to survive. This episode dives into...

When marriage starts to feel transactional, we often begin building a case to justify why we’re done—replaying conversations, collecting offenses, and deciding the verdict before the conversation ever happens.  In this episode, we unpack what happens when we attempt to take the place of God in our marriage, how internal narratives become reinforced, and why contractual love erodes intimacy and fai...

In marriage—and in life—our biggest breakdowns often don’t come from a lack of love, but from assumptions, defensiveness, and rushing to protect ourselves. In this episode, we talk about non-anxious curiosity and why it’s one of the most powerful relational skills you can develop. Instead of reacting, shutting down, or jumping to conclusions, non-anxious curiosity invites us to slow down and ask b...

Standards are easy to admire. Resolutions are costly to live. In this episode, we unpack the critical difference between God’s standard and our resolution. God’s standards reveal what is right, true, and good — rooted in Scripture and unchanging, regardless of circumstances. But many believers stop there. We agree with truth. We affirm it. We even teach it — without ever resolving to obey it when...

The holidays can bring joy—and they can bring pressure. In this episode, we talk about how to create a healthy dynamic for your marriage and your family by paying attention to what actually matters. It all begins with clarity and unity between you and your spouse, especially when it comes to calendars, commitments, and expectations. Because every yes is also a no—and when you learn to choose with...

Insecurity quietly steals what God meant for connection. When we fixate on our flaws, we shift our eyes off of God and onto ourselves—placing a weight on our spouse and those closest to us that they were never meant to carry.  In this episode, we’re talking about how insecurity robs us of intimacy, why it distorts our view of God and others, and how to start reclaiming truth.  Challenge yourself t...

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why consistency trumps intensity in your faith, marriage, and parenting . You can’t build a strong spiritual foundation by chasing emotional highs or trying to make up for inconsistency with one big moment. True growth comes from faithfully showing up every day , even when you don’t feel like it. When you choose to show up — in prayer, in your marriage, and...

What does it look like to truly live your faith out loud? In this powerful and personal episode, we sit down with our son, Gage , to talk about his incredible missionary adventures and the boldness it takes to share Christ in everyday life. Gage opens up about how God called him into missions, the moments that stretched his faith, and the ways he’s seen God move across cultures and conversations....

In this episode, we’re talking about the power of gratitude in marriage — how shifting your focus from what’s missing to what God is doing can bring hope, healing, and deeper connection. Gratitude doesn’t deny the hard seasons; it reminds you that God is working all things for good. Verse: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 As...

We’re more “connected” than ever—but many of us feel more disconnected than ever. Phones, endless scrolling, constant noise, and the pressure to always be “in the know” are leaving us unable to fully sit with ourselves or the people we love. In this episode, we talk about: • Why silence and stillness feel so uncomfortable—and why that’s exactly where growth begins. • How constant distraction is ma...

We weren’t created for comfort—we were created for strength. In this episode, we explore why challenges are not meant to break us but to build us, how capacity is developed through resistance, and what it really means that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness.  You wee made for hard things- things that are impossible without God, and so much of life is learning to trust Him through the hard...

A mother’s love offers comfort and safety. A father’s love calls a child into courage and resilience.    In this episode, we unpack the powerful role of fathers—how their presence (or absence) shapes the way children view God, handle life’s pressures, and walk out their faith as adults. Blending research, biblical wisdom, and real-life insight, we’ll explore why dads matter more than they often re...

Let’s be real—what you invest in is what you truly value. In this episode, we share our own resources and dreams, and the faith it takes to speak them out loud. We also want to challenge you: are you pouring more into your lifestyle, hobbies, or comfort than into your marriage? The truth is, God designed marriage to reflect His covenant love, and that kind of love requires sacrifice. If the though...
