    159 | Soul Ties: Still Carrying a Piece of Your Past?

    2026/05/25 | 30 mins.
    We often talk about the weight of sexual betrayal, but rarely do we discuss the invisible, spiritual webs that keep us tethered to our past. A soul tie is more than just a memory; it is an emotional and spiritual connection formed when we yield our body and heart to another.

     

    While God established this spiritual framework to be the cornerstone of a healthy, covenant marriage, the Enemy of our souls loves to pervert it, using it to create destructive bonds that linger long after a sinful act has ended.

     

    If you find yourself haunted by the ghost of a past relationship, unable to fully give your heart to your spouse, or trapped in cycles of obsession and emotional instability, you may be walking in the shadow of an ungodly soul tie. These connections do more than just distract; they provide a legal foothold for spiritual oppression and hinder the very intimacy you are called to experience in your marriage.

     

    Join us as we look at the reality of these spiritual bonds, review some indicators of the presence of soul ties, and learn how to use the authority of Christ to sever those ties, break the Enemy’s influence, and fully restore your heart to the covenant you promised to honor.

     

    We pray this blesses you!

    Soul Tie Prayer

    Father, I confess to you the ungodly soul tie that I created by entering into an emotional/sexual relationship with ______.

    Today, I break this soul tie and all ties with ______.

    I release ______ to you to act according to your will and purpose. I choose today to re-establish my exclusive covenant with my spouse. I commit to love and honor him/her with my thoughts and actions. I pledge my unwavering fidelity to my spouse until we are parted by death. It is by the shed blood of Jesus and the word of my testimony that that I decree this today. I rest in Jesus' words "It is finished". Amen

    158 | Beyond the Wall of Isolation: They Know Too Much! (Making it Right)

    2026/05/18 | 23 mins.
    In our series, Beyond the Wall of Isolation, we’ve spent the last several weeks dismantling the myths that keep Christian couples trapped in cycles of secrecy and shame. We’ve talked about the masks we wear, the burdens we carry, and the importance of a united front when it comes to our children.

     

    But we know that for many of you, this series feels like it might be a little late. You’re listening and thinking, “I wish I had heard this sooner. I’ve already shared too much with my kids. I’ve already crossed those lines, and the damage is done.”

     

    If that’s you, we want you to know something important: It is not too late to make it right.

     

    In this final episode of our Beyond the Wall series, we are tackling the reality of “over-disclosure.” If your children already know the graphic details or have been used as confidants during your crisis, you aren’t a failure, you’re a parent who was caught in the middle of a storm.

     

    But what if you didn’t have to stay stuck in that regret?

     

    In this episode, we’re busting the myth that “it’s too late.” We’re going to walk through the practical, grace-filled steps for making amends.

     

    We’ll show you how to:

    Own your mistakes without making your kids your counselors.

    Offer sincere apologies that don’t shift the burden back onto them.

    Create space for them to feel what they feel while you consistently model repentance.

    Trust God with the outcome, even when the relationship still feels fragile.

     

    You haven’t ruined the future, and you don’t have to carry the regret of those conversations alone. Join us today as we learn how to clean up the mess with grace and start the long, beautiful road to genuine repair.

     

    We pray this blesses you!

    2026/05/11 | 26 mins.
    In our current series, Behind the Wall of Isolation, we are dismantling the myths that keep Christian couples trapped in cycles of secrecy and shame.

     

    Today we’re tackling something that keeps a lot of parents awake at night…

     

    Should we talk to the kids about the betrayal?

     

    And if so, when?

     

    And how?

     

    When hiding the reality of our marriage from our kids, we aren’t just trying to protect them; we are navigating a minefield of our own fears.

     

    We’re going over 8 common fears parents feel when they choose to isolate their children from the truth of their struggle and also give you some answers to the when and how questions.

     

    We pray this blesses you!

    155 | Beyond the Wall of Isolation: Fears of the Husband (The Mask)

    2026/04/27 | 21 mins.
    Have you encountered one of the most dangerous traps in the entire recovery process?

     

    Today we’re talking to husbands, who have been unfaithful to their wives, about the myth of “Managing the Reputation” which can trap men, and marriages, in isolation.

     

    Husband’s, you may be terrified of what people will think if they see the reality behind the mask you wear. You’re holding onto the “honorable” version of yourself while also holding onto the secret of your sin that nullifies your honor.

     

    The truth is that your reputation is a house of cards. If it’s built on a hollow foundation of secret sin, it’s already gone.

     

    You aren’t protecting a reputation; you’re protecting your pride, and your pride becomes one of the biggest obstacles to your wife’s healing and your true reconciliation with God. You cannot be a man of integrity while living a life of duplicity.

     

    Join us as we outline 8 common fears that keep husbands behind the wall of isolation and give hope for moving beyond isolation into freedom.  

     

    We pray this blesses you!
