Episode 90: "Together In Grace" Ephesians 2:1-22 (Week 2)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Do you ever feel like you're never quite enough?

Enough for God.
Enough for your spouse.
Enough as a parent.
Enough in your faith.

Ephesians 2 answers that question with one of the clearest pictures of the Gospel in all of Scripture.

In this episode, Carl and Heather explore what it means to be saved by grace—not by performance—and why understanding that truth changes everything about how we love God and one another.

Together you'll discover why grace isn't just the starting point of the Christian life—it's the foundation of every healthy marriage.

Join us as we continue our five-week journey through the Book of Ephesians.

Episode 89: "Together In Christ" Ephesians 1:1-23 (Week 1)

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Who are you... really?

Most of us build our identity around things that can disappear—our career, relationships, accomplishments, ministry, or even our role in the family.

But what if your truest identity was something no circumstance could ever take away?

In the first episode of our five-part study through Ephesians, Carl and Heather explore one of the richest chapters in the New Testament and discover what it means to be chosen, adopted, redeemed, and sealed by God.

You'll learn why Paul begins with identity before instruction—and why understanding who you are in Christ has the power to transform your marriage, your faith, and the way you live every day.

Episode 88: Rebuilding Broken Trust

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Can trust be rebuilt after it's been broken?

Trust is one of the most valuable—and fragile—parts of any marriage. It can take years to build and only moments to damage.

In this episode, Carl and Heather explore what happens when trust is broken, why forgiveness matters, and how couples can rebuild trust one small step at a time.

Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical encouragement, they discuss how trust grows through everyday faithfulness, honesty, humility, and accountability.

Whether your marriage is thriving or you're working through a difficult season, this conversation offers hope that trust can be strengthened and restored.

Scripture: Colossians 3:12-14

Question for Reflection:
What is one thing you could do this week that would help your spouse trust you more?

Episode 87: Pride Month, Marriage, and the Gospel

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

It's Pride Month, and for many Christian couples that raises difficult but important questions.

How should followers of Jesus think about marriage, sexuality, sin, truth, and love in a rapidly changing culture? Is it possible to love people well without affirming every belief or behavior? And why does it matter for a husband and wife to agree on what sin is in the first place?

In this episode, Carl and Heather discuss the difference between acceptance and affirmation, the danger of spiritual drift, and why the biblical vision of marriage still matters today.

Most importantly, they explore the hope of the gospel—not just for one group of people, but for all of us. Because the central issue isn't ultimately Pride Month. It's whether Jesus will be Lord of our lives.

Join us as we talk about biblical conviction, grace, truth, repentance, and the transforming power of Christ.

Scriptures referenced include Genesis 2, Matthew 19, Psalm 1, Romans 12, John 1, Proverbs 16, 1 Corinthians 6, and Romans 5.

The Tragic Decision The Whole Internet Had An Opinion About

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

A young couple made a tragic, public decision — and the whole internet had an opinion. This week, Carl and Heather step into the headlines with honesty and tenderness, asking three questions: What actually happened? What can a crisis like this reveal in a marriage? And what does God say about the value of a human life — no matter what?

This is a conversation about holding conviction and compassion in the same hand. Because marriage was never meant to make us comfortable; it was meant to make us holy. So was parenting. So is raising every kind of child.

We open up Psalm 139, Jeremiah 1, Genesis 1, and more — and we land where every hard story should: in the grace of a God who redeems what feels unredeemable. If you're carrying a private grief of your own, there's room for you here.

Episode 85: When Your Faith Feels Flat w/ Jeffery & Shannon Scott

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt stuck in your faith? Like you're doing all the right things, but God feels distant and spiritual growth seems nowhere to be found?

In this episode, Carl and Heather sit down with Jeffrey and Shannon Scott to talk about the often-overlooked seasons of the Christian life when faith feels flat, progress feels slow, and nothing seems to be happening. Together, they explore how God is often doing His deepest work beneath the surface, even when we can't see it.

If you've ever wondered whether you're growing, drifting, or simply walking through a difficult season, this conversation will encourage you to stay faithful and keep trusting God.

Be sure to check out Shannon's podcast, The Everything Beautiful Podcast, where she shares honest conversations and biblical encouragement to help women find beauty and purpose in every season.

Episode 84: Everyday Spiritual Habits

Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Can small spiritual habits actually change your marriage?

This week we’re joined by author and Bible teacher Hanna Seymour and her husband Tyler to talk about Hanna’s new book, Everyday Spiritual Habits.

Hanna’s message is simple but powerful: spiritual growth doesn’t happen through perfection or pressure — it happens through small, faithful rhythms practiced over time.

In this conversation, we unpack how everyday habits like prayer, gratitude, Scripture, friendship, and practicing the presence of God can reshape not only your faith, but your marriage and family culture too.

We also talk honestly about:

Feeling spiritually exhausted in busy seasons
Why couples drift spiritually
The power of consistency over intensity
Building connection with God in the middle of ordinary life
What it looks like to pursue Jesus together as husband and wife

This episode is encouraging, practical, and deeply relatable for couples who want a deeper spiritual connection without adding more pressure to their lives.

Find Hanna’s book through Worthy Books or at her official site: Hanna Seymour.

Episode 83: Engaged? Listen To This Before You Walk Down The Aisle

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400

If you’re engaged—or know someone who is—this might be one of the most important conversations you hear before marriage.

Because most marriages don’t fall apart in a moment…
they drift slowly through poor communication and unresolved conflict.

In this episode, Carl and Heather walk through five essential conversations every couple needs to have before saying “I do.”

This isn’t about planning a wedding—
it’s about preparing for a lifetime.

In this episode, we cover:

How to build a shared purpose and direction
How to understand and improve your communication
How to handle conflict and repair in a healthy way
What real intimacy actually looks like
How to clarify expectations around money, roles, and family

A simple truth:

You don’t drift into a strong marriage—
you build one on purpose.

Important note:

This episode is a tool—but it’s not a substitute for biblical premarital counseling.
If you’re getting married, don’t skip that step.

Episode 82: Sexless Marriage?

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400

No one plans to end up in a sexless marriage…
But a lot of couples quietly drift there.

It’s not loud.
It’s not explosive.
It’s silent—and that’s what makes it so dangerous.

In this episode, Carl and Heather talk about the hidden struggle many couples face:
two people who love each other… but have lost connection.

You’ll hear:

The real reasons intimacy fades (and why it’s rarely just about sex)
The physical, emotional, and spiritual impact of disconnection
Why unresolved conflict and poor communication are often at the root
Practical ways to begin rebuilding intimacy—without pressure or shame

Because sex isn’t the foundation of marriage…
but it is a vital expression of a healthy one.

This episode is for couples who:

Feel distant but don’t know why
Struggle to talk about intimacy
Want to reconnect but don’t know where to start

💬 A reminder:

A sexless marriage isn’t the end of your story—
it’s an invitation to rebuild something deeper.

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when both spouses are strong leaders?

Chris and Maribeth Dodd join us to talk about the tension, beauty, and challenge of building a Christ-centered marriage when both husband and wife are high-capacity leaders.

Episode 80: Parenting The Anxious Generation

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Something has shifted—and our kids are feeling it.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to parent in the age of rising anxiety. From the explosion of smartphones to the loss of play-based childhoods, we unpack why this generation is struggling—and what we can do about it.

We explore:

The difference between a play-based vs. phone-based childhood
How constant comparison is shaping identity
Why resilience is declining (and how to rebuild it)
Practical ways to disciple technology, not fear it
Creating a home where kids can process instead of perform
Anchoring our children in truth, not just tools

We’re not raising kids for comfort—we’re raising them for strength.

This episode will help you move from reacting to anxiety… to leading your kids through it with clarity, confidence, and faith in Jesus.

To help us build a maternity ward in South Sudan, go to Transformsouthsudan.org/maternity and give. It costs $85,000 but a donor has already given a matching gift of up to $42,500 so every dollar you give is doubled. Thanks for helping us make a difference.

Episode 79: The Roommate Trap

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

The Roommate Trap

What if your marriage isn’t falling apart… but it’s quietly drifting?

In this episode of Carl and Heather Present, we’re talking about a season almost every couple experiences—but few know how to name: the roommate phase. It’s when life gets full, conversations become transactional, and connection slowly fades into the background.

You’re not fighting.
You’re functioning.
But you’re also not really seeing each other anymore.

We’ve lived this.
And after a season of travel, ministry, and a packed schedule, we’re feeling the pull ourselves—and we know we’re not alone.

We’ve heard the same question over and over on recent panels:

“What if we don’t have anything in common anymore?”
“What do we do if we feel more like roommates than lovers?”

In today’s episode, we talk honestly about:

What the “roommate trap” actually looks like in real life
Why busy seasons quietly disconnect us
How small, intentional shifts can rebuild connection
The role of unresolved hurt in creating distance
Simple, practical ways to start reconnecting today

Because marriage was never meant to just share space—it was meant to share souls.

“You don’t drift into connection. You drift away from it.”

And the good news? You can choose your way back.

Try this tonight:
Ask one real question. Start there.

Episdoe 78: Transforming South Sudan

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

What does hope look like in one of the most desperate places on earth?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Mike Vogt, director of Transform South Sudan, to hear firsthand what God is doing in South Sudan—the poorest country in the world by nearly every measure.

From unimaginable challenges to stories of resilience, faith, and transformation, Mike shares how the Gospel is bringing real, tangible change to communities in crisis.

But this conversation isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action.

Right now, there is an urgent opportunity to help build a life-saving maternity ward that will care for mothers and babies who otherwise have little to no access to medical care.

We’re raising $85,000, and by God’s provision, a generous donor has already offered a $42,500 matching gift—which means every dollar you give will be doubled.

This is your chance to be part of something eternal.

Episode 77: Is Your Phone Killing Your Connection?

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Is your phone quietly destroying your connection?

We carry them everywhere. We check them constantly. And without even realizing it… our phones may be becoming the third presence in our marriage.

In this episode, we introduce the idea of the “pocket toddler”—the device that demands attention, interrupts conversations, and slowly pulls us away from the person sitting right next to us.

We’re talking honestly about how technology:

Shuts down real communication
Keeps us from truly listening
Trains us to prioritize distractions
And slowly erodes emotional and physical intimacy

But this isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness and change.

We’ll share real-life moments from our own marriage, unpack why this matters spiritually, and give you simple, practical ways to take your connection back—starting today.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

This week we’re joined by our friend Mandi Moseley, whose daughter Ellie was born with Edwards Syndrome. Against the odds, Ellie’s life has become a profound answer to prayer and a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Every marriage needs more than love—it needs intentional conversation.

In this episode, Carl and Heather share the three essential “tune-up” conversations every couple must keep having to stay connected, emotionally safe, and on the same team.

If you’ve felt disconnected, reactive, or stuck in the same arguments, this episode gives you simple, proven questions and rhythms that help you move from surviving to growing—together.

Because great marriages aren’t built by accident. They’re built through conversation. ❤️

You’ll hear real stories, real regrets, and real strategies for shaping a home culture that points your kids to Christ. Because the moments that matter most aren’t always the big ones—they’re the faithful, ordinary ones.

Advent Week Three: Joy

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

This Advent we're walking together through each week of the season and trying to keep Jesus at the center of our marriages and families this Christmas.

Jesus has won our victory with his presence. Everything else is just frosting, but he is the source of our deepest joy, even in suffering and pain.

Here is the song I mentioned: Hurricanes and Harbor Lights: https://youtu.be/l0IU6fmLRG4?si=jq8bnJg43UzWgh5o
