Why Marriage and Business Need Faith + Alignment Now More Than Ever

We're back after a year, and our year away didn’t make us quieter; it made us clearer. We came back with video, fresh ministry fruit, and a conviction that shifted everything: faith only transforms your outcomes when it reorders your life. What began as a long-awaited sabbatical turned into a divine reset—sobriety, simpler schedules, and a renewed commitment to put marriage before mission and presence before productivity.

We share why we quit alcohol and how a “harmless” habit was crowding out sleep, focus, and spiritual clarity. That single act of obedience unlocked deeper work: letting God highlight the patterns that sneaked into our marriage when we were tired, snippy, and stretched thin. 

We talk about how laying down ego opened the door to honest conversations and deeper intimacy, and how simplifying our commitments gave us bandwidth to actually love each other well. 

You’ll hear the practical shifts—fewer plates spinning, more rest, weekly check-ins, and a shared filter for decisions rooted in alignment instead of urgency.

If your calendar is loud and your soul is quiet, this conversation is for you. We map out faith as an ordering system—identity before output, marriage before mission, health before hustle—and share the exact questions we use to let God “run the play” each day. 

Subscribe, share this with someone building a life and a business with their spouse, and tell us: what’s the first thing you’ll reorder this week?

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 1:26

We're here. What's going on, y'all? Welcome back to Spartners with Faith, Marriage, and Business Aligned. It's been a minute. A year. A lot of newness, a whole year since we've been here. And a lot has definitely taken place and transpired in that time. First off, some of y'all are listening to us, but for the first time ever, some of y'all are watching an episode today. We decided that it was time to add some visual treatment to this conversation, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:55

Yes, yes. And so much has happened since last year, since the last we spoke. Man, you'll hear so many stories and testimonies over the course of this season. For sure. But we moved, we've expanded our ministry. We had our first partners conference. Come on, somebody. We have a Bible plan out on U version, guys.

SPEAKER_01 2:15

Go.

SPEAKER_02 2:16

So definitely check out the comments. Um, in check out the comments below in the thing. And so what is it?

SPEAKER_00 2:23

It's it no in the in the comments.

SPEAKER_02 2:25

In the comments.

SPEAKER_00 2:25

In the comments, we will put a link to the Bible plan on UVersion, which is called Marriage Reimagined. And we pray that it blesses you. But today we're supposed to talk about something special today. We want to talk about the importance. We want to talk about why marriage and business need faith more than ever. Serious conversation.

Why Marriage And Business Need Faith

SPEAKER_02 2:44

Yeah. Last summer we took our sabbatical for a month, and we were really excited about it because we were really expecting to have so much rest and peace and experience the presence of the Lord. Yeah. And for the first like three and a half weeks, and by the way, we went to New York City with our children for our sabbatical. So, like, definitely doesn't sound like a sabbatical, right?

SPEAKER_00 3:06

I don't think it was given sabbatical from the beginning.

A Fast-Paced Sabbatical In New York

SPEAKER_02 3:08

Right. It wasn't. It wasn't. But it was with the intention. And um and in that time, there were so many full circle moments. We were going to places that we hadn't been to for years. And we were so different. And so it was like, wow, like this is crazy. We're in the same place, different time, different person, different circumstances, and such a different experience. So it was really, really cool. But it was definitely fast-paced, moving and shaking until the very end when we finally experienced that encounter with the Lord that we were really praying for and um and desiring. And it totally changed and transformed our lives since that very pivotal moment.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

We both decided to give up alcohol drinking. We were not wild now for y'all judgy folks out there. But we definitely were, you know, social drinkers and having drinks. And I've been telling Chantelle for a few years now that I just I just feel like it just doesn't benefit my life anymore. It just doesn't add any value to my life. And um when we were away on sabbatical after hanging out one night, dancing and having a good time, I woke up the next morning, looked at her, and said, Yeah, I'm done. I just don't think I want to do this anymore. And I believe that that was God telling me to do that. But the reasons were just for health, longevity, cognitive function in the brain, leaping better, just for everything that he's called us to do, he was like, This can't go with you. I really, I literally felt like he said, Troy, where I'm about to take you, this can't go with you. And I remember telling you that, and then you told me the same thing.

Sobriety And A New Obedience

SPEAKER_02 4:38

Yeah, that that morning I was in the word and I was reading about submission. And it wasn't even like your typical like submit to your husband, or it was just a the word was just a void. Right. It was just that word that was just in there. Yeah. And immediately I was like, hmm, what am I not surrendering or submitting to the Lord that I need to be? Yeah, or that I feel like I've been called to to surrender, that I just haven't wanted to. And immediately alcohol came to mind. It was something that I just didn't when I went out to eat for dinner or for a social gathering, but it was just so routine, so a part of life. Just it was just normal. Yeah, for sure. It just became a behavior and a pattern.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

So we gave up alcohol that day and have been living soberly since it's been if I could, I wish I had my phone is on the tripod filming this right now. But if it's been over almost six months, man. Yeah, it's been almost six months that we have just been on this sobriety journey. Yeah. It's the best decision we've ever made.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

Absolutely. And it revealed to us patterns of not only our past and how we brought it into our present, for sure, but also the new patterns that we need to create, the new obedience that we need to have and the new consistency that we're going to have to have, walking this out with the Lord in both our marriage and business. Absolutely. And so God had his way with us that day. Um, and then also started to reveal to us how we can get deeper in our word, better in our practice. And then next thing you know, once he felt we were right with him, like better with him, he then shed a light, put a light on our marriage. And what happened after that?

From Exhaustion To Recalibration In Marriage

SPEAKER_00 6:14

We realized that, you know, we were just like, because we were running on fumes, because it was go, go, go, because we weren't actually getting the rest that we needed. We were just short, snippy, you know, at each other's throats, not like aggressively, but just like from a place of exhaustion and tiredness. And I think he gave us the ability to step out of ourselves and recalibrate and be like, whoa, like we're tired. Like we are just doing too much. And because of that, our marriage is not even bearing the fruit that it's actually designed to bear. And I think that was just like a big reality check for us to slow down, right? You know, the thing we always say, we say that we believe that God could put more on our less. So we decided to take things off of our plate. Uh, rest became a true prioritization, and because of that, we're able to lean into each other more. We have more bandwidth. And I think we were just so tired being in full-time ministry, having all the stuff going on. Oh, you don't know we were overseeing a co-working space as spiritual providers, and we'll get more into that story and where we are with that now. But just our bandwidth and capacity was being spread thin across a multitude of spaces that we realized that we didn't have enough in the tank to prioritize the thing that matters most to us, which is our marriage.

SPEAKER_02 7:28

Right.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

You know?

SPEAKER_02 7:29

And we also found that similar to drinking, it was just like a normal behavior. Uh, there were some patterns in our marriage that just became normal, but we didn't even like know that we were even subscribing to or participating in until the Lord revealed it to us, like, hey, why are you guys doing that? Why are you operating in this way? And it created a lot of tension within our marriage for like a good four to six weeks. So we were just arguing all the time. We felt so disconnected, so misaligned. So it's like, what is going on? What kind of spiritual work is this? But it wasn't, it was his it was his refining, it was his protection. And again, it was him setting us up for where he was taking us. And it was amazing, like what coming on the outside of it, right? Come going through it. Thankfully, it was only a couple of weeks, a few weeks. Um, but it truly, truly, truly rooted us even deeper in him, um, hand in hand together and brought us so much closer because we were able to get through some things that we didn't even realize were barriers in our way of um true success in our relationship.

SPEAKER_00 8:33

Sure. For what success looks like to us. Yeah. And I think the cool thing about those four to six weeks were like they were stretching us, that we were definitely being pruned. God was pressing us in that, but it also gave us the ability to see blind spots for each other and and what the enemy thought he was going to use God made good from because now we were able to see each other's blind spots and truly cover each other. Because of that, we're just a lot better off than we were before.

Health Before Hustle: Data And Rest

SPEAKER_02 8:56

Yeah, yeah. So, okay, so the Lord made sure we were right with him. Then he made sure we were right together. Yep. And then he was like, okay, we gotta make sure your health is in order.

SPEAKER_01 9:06

Come on.

SPEAKER_02 9:07

And so all of a sudden, he started getting really, really intentional about managing stress, managing his health, getting back into fitness. So then I'm like, wait, I need to manage my stress. And I learned that I was starting to show some markers of some chronic autoimmune issues. And so it's like, wait, what's going on? I really need to manage my stress. So we got these oar rings and um slow down, baby, slow down.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

When this whole thing popped off about the health and getting things in order after the four to six weeks and everything, I was like, let's do it. We did our blood work. We did our blood panels and we were able to see some of the markers and the data. And for those of you who knew, I was in the fitness industry and always nerding out on data and information because that's prevention before intervention. So when we got our our markers and we got to see all the stuff, it was like, Lord, thank you for the ability to actually get that. And then that's when I was like, we got to get these aura rings because it gives us the ability to track our sleep, track our stress. Number we are not sponsored by aura but holler at us.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

But um, we were able to track these markers and have data points for our not just what we were doing actively, but for our recovery. Because we were on this, we were really prioritizing rest. For us, it was like we need to make sure that we have one of the best things that we can have out there for rest. And definitely recommend aura for anyone looking to track sleep, track behavior, and uh just get in a healthy place.

Parenting, Coaching, And Presence At Home

SPEAKER_02 10:27

Yeah. So our health became a priority. So we're getting that in alignment. Then the Lord put a light on our family, um, our and and that created a lot of um stress, more stress, but because stress was already a focus, we were able to better manage it. Um, and then also put a light on just working more presently with our children and and doing sports. And so Troy became a flag football coach.

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Crazy. Uh really awesome. Um, I just um thank you, Lord, for the ability to do something that I had no business doing that I could only do with them. Yeah, I don't really watch sports like that. I don't know anything about flag football. Shout out to YouTube. I looked up plays and everything, but what I did know I could do was pray for those kids, love those kids, encourage those kids, do athletic drills with them, mobility. Those are the things I knew about. And it was really sweet because I think firsthand I got to show our son Sage that he's starting something new and he's doing something challenging, but also this is new for me and challenging. And a lot of our conversations weren't even necessarily like, you gotta do this, you gotta be great. It was like, how was that for you today? Hey, this is how it was for me. And that was just a strong bonding moment for us that I'll I'll never take for granted.

Friendships Refined For The Next Season

SPEAKER_02 11:43

Yeah, and our little guy's in first grade, just turned seven. Yeah, so he was very excited to play his um first, like truly organized sport. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah. So then, next thing you know, the Lord shining a light on our friendships and really working through us on who, you know, who is coming with us. Does he need and want to come with us in this next season that he's bringing us to? Um, and what is it that we require of friendships, these relationships? And that too was really painful to go through. Um, but so rewarding and fruitful. And we're and we're still like we're just starting to see the fruit of that work.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:21

Um, and then from that, the Lord put his light on our ministry and on our business. And that also gave uh a lot of a lot of uh insight, a lot of conversation, a lot of prayer. Um, we needed to use a lot of discernment to truly hear exactly where it was calling us, and it's led us to yet another huge, huge, huge step and transformation.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

Excited to share that with y'all at some time. There's so much to share with you that we will just continue to unpack over these episodes, conversations, as we want to call them, these conversations. Yeah but um, yeah. I mean, I thought literally when God said alcohol, like this can't go with you. I had no idea that things in our marriage couldn't go with us. Uh, the way we were parenting, our presence, being invested in our kids, certain things couldn't go with us. Like, even when it comes to friends, like relationships, people that I thought would be with us forever couldn't go with us. And that's hard. But again, it's all for his glory and his purpose. And for anyone that's listening to this, that may be in a similar season, you'll get through it. Just keep God first in that. Let him order your steps. There is blessing in obedience. You want to bear fruit in your life, you have to be obedient. That doesn't always look like your plan. You gotta pray that your plans measure up with his plans. Because that's the hard part. Let's keep it real. We're not always okay with his will. Like we we're humans, we want things the way we want them, but we have to get to a place of maturity spiritually where his will becomes a forefront.

Faith As An Ordering System

SPEAKER_02 13:57

Now, it took a lot of discernment and obedience and consistency for us to hear him and for him to order our steps where we felt like we were truly walking in alignment with his will. And that is something that I think is so beautiful and so important for why marriage and business need faith now more than ever. It's not just about believing. Faith, yes, faith, believe, but I also want you to look at faith as an ordering system. Absolutely. What the Lord did to us for the last half of the year by ordering us, our ordering our priorities, he has saved us and covered us and prepared us for what he needs us to do, for what he's going to reveal to us, for what's coming, by having us focus on him first, then focus on each other second. Yeah. Then our health so that way we're prepared to handle our family. Come on. Then looking at our friends, followed by our community, which is our business and our ministry. I mean, that was divine. We didn't say, okay, this is the order we're going to do. We were just allowing our faith to be an ordering system. And when your marriage and your business does not have faith as your ordering system, urgency, loss, just chaos can take over your mind. And next thing you know, you're trying to solve it with working harder. You're trying to solve it with people pleasing. You're trying to solve it by isolation. You're just trying to solve it within your own strength. But when you allow God to truly order your priorities, order your steps, you're no longer allowing your performance to overcome your direction. You're seeking God to really help you know what steps to take. So it's been a saving grace for us last year and something that is so, so um, that can be so, so useful.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Yeah. Now you nailed it, and I think that's what we need to talk about more is that it faith isn't just a belief, it's an ordering system. And, you know, like you said, most people when they think about their faith, they think that it's just believing. But God is actually showing us that it's how you arrange your life. He's intentional. And I think when it comes to our faith, we need to be intentional because we're in partnership with him, you know? And I think people think it's like, okay, I believe God, he's got a plan, and it's like you're also a major part in the plan. And he's looking for you to steward the little bit of things that he places in your hands well to set you up for the next thing.

SPEAKER_02 16:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:23

You know?

Identity Before Output, Marriage Before Mission

SPEAKER_02 16:23

Yeah. Um, here's some reasons for why this matters so much for marriage and business. Why faith needs to be an architecture for your life.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

So good.

SPEAKER_02 16:34

We're gonna nail this out. So without faith as an ordering system, urgency becomes the decision maker. With faith as an ordering system, alignment becomes the filter. Faith orders identity before output. Without faith, you prove your worth by what you produce. With faith, you operate from belovedness, not performance. So y'all need to hear me when I say this.

SPEAKER_01 17:02

Come on now.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

Faith reminds us we are God's children first, before being business owners, before being pastors, before being leaders, before being anything else. Faith will always remind you that you are his child first.

SPEAKER_00 17:15

Absolutely. Here's some more things. Faith orders marriage before mission. That is marriage before mission. Without faith, marriage becomes collateral damage for calling. With faith, marriage becomes the foundation of calling. Faith doesn't compete with our mission, it protects it. Number three, faith orders presence before productivity. That's just something that I mean, we could sit there for like 10,000 hours about that.

Presence Over Productivity And Formation

SPEAKER_02 17:46

Without faith, you choose visibility, but with faith, you prioritize formation. Man, do you know how many times we wanted to come back to the podcast? If you follow us on our newsletter or Spartaners page, we were like, episode coming, episode coming. Um, but the Lord was like, Not, I'm sitting you guys down, listen to me. Not yet, because I'm still forming you. And wow, thank God that we listened because there was so much formation that needed to happen. Faith cares more about who we're becoming rather how fast we're growing. He cares about who you're becoming more than exactly what you're building. So as you build with your partner, pay attention to who y'all are becoming as a couple, as um, as as business owners, as leaders. Who are you growing into? As stewards. Yeah, absolutely.

Health Stewardship For Legacy And Longevity

When Faith Is Optional, Chaos Leads

SPEAKER_00 18:40

I feel you are. Listen, all right, number five, faith orders health before hustle. I mean, that again, I feel like I can stay here for 10 years. Faith orders health before hustle. You are no good to anyone if you are not prioritizing your health. And that is not a selfish thing, that is stewardship. Prioritizing your health, mental, physical, emotional. That is stewardship. With without faith, you sacrifice your body for the vision. And with faith, you steward your body for the vision. I'm in a season right now. You notice, babe, I keep telling you, like, I'm not trying to get fit for vanity. I'm trying to get fit for sanity and stewardship. I'm working out now for legacy and longevity, for the calling on my life and to be present to serve and love the people that God has called me to love. God doesn't just care about what we build, He cares about what it costs us to build it. And that right there is the game changer.

SPEAKER_02 20:19

What is it costing you? Is it costing you burnout? Is it costing you relationships that you genuinely care about? When faith isn't what's ordering us, everything else in the world will be what tells us what to do. And there's a danger in that because when faith becomes optional instead of foundational, marriage becomes transactional. Yeah, business becomes idolatrous, rest feels irresponsible, conflict escalates faster, and success feels emptier. When faith isn't ordering our lives, something else always will. And it's usually fear, it's usually urgency or ego.

Daily Dependence: Let God Run The Play

SPEAKER_00 21:03

It's dangerous, man. You gotta actually have to ask ourselves if you're building something through burnout, if you're building something and it's not scaling, if you're building something and you're not seeing a strong foundation, then that should be an indicator right there that you're not building it with God. You're building it by yourself, you're building the Tower of Babel. And God's gonna come and He's gonna be like, I'm gonna confuse all of this up because this is not honoring to me. That's literally what I think about. That is us trying to lean on our own understanding and play God instead of letting God run the play. Like God is literally ordering our steps. And every day we wake up, we have a plan, right? Because we want to be honoring to God, but at the end of the day, He doesn't always, the plan doesn't always align with what the day looks like. And I and I think most times we're looking at each other and we're like, all right, Lord, what's the play? We're gonna run it. We have a few things that we know we're gonna be able to get done in a day. We know we're gonna send those emails, we know we're gonna have this meeting, but like outside of those things, Lord, what is your will? Make it clear. It's plain and we're just gonna run right the play. And I think that's where the obedience is. Yeah, because I think we're gonna see fruit. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 22:10

Open to that because I know I used to be like there is no space for conversations with any person at all. But wait, we're in the business of caring for people, yes, loving people, yes, supporting people, empowering people, encouraging people, testifying to people, right? Listening to people. And so how could that be uh how can that not be something that our hearts just remain open to? Absolutely because when we are walking in alignment with the Lord and walking in alignment with each other, the Lord will send us exactly who he needs, when he needs it. And we need to be open and ready, not just physically with our door, but physically with our hearts.

Alignment Before Expansion

SPEAKER_00 22:46

I love that you said when we're walking in alignment, because here's the thing alignment comes before expansion, before he actually expands your territory, before he gives you more. He wants to make sure that you're aligned. Right. And if you're working with your spouse, he wants to make sure that you're aligned with him, but then also align with your spouse before he gives you more territory. Yep. So it's that's that's what it's always about. It's about alignment before he expands us. And right now, it's like for us, God didn't press pause, he pressed reset. He was like, I need you guys to lock in and I need you to reset. And here's why faith is non-negotiable more than ever right now. Here's what God is truly making clear marriage and business don't fall apart because couples lack skill, they fall apart because they lack alignment.

Simplicity Scales: Clearing The Clutter

SPEAKER_02 23:34

Right. How many couples do we talk to who um, I mean, they might be doing well business-wise, but they are tired, they are stretched thin. Yeah. I mean, nothing catastrophic is happening, but they're feeling less time to have autonomy or that that connection or that level of intimacy because they're just running in circles for their for their business. Or, or um, you have business leaders who are doing their thing and they have their nine to fives and they want to be able to invest more and pour more into their relationships. Um, but they're also struggling because they're tired. Yeah, right. And so it's not that they're lacking skill, they truly are struggling with getting on the same page, with aligning their their A, spiritually aligning, but then also aligning their goals, aligning their desires, aligning their emotional needs, aligning so much, and that requires conversation. You know, what what would you say? Like, how how have we gotten into alignment? Because there's definitely like last summer, yeah, for like those few weeks, I definitely felt misaligned. Like, what is going on? Felt disconnected, butting heads, like I thought we were moving on the same page, but there was just so much noise. Um, how, what do you recall? Like, how what what made you or what can you share? Like helped us get back to being realigned.

SPEAKER_00 24:59

I think it kind of for me, um, an actionable step looked like leaning into one of my favorite quotes. Simplicity scales, complexity fails. And I felt like we just had so much going on, y'all. We had so much going on. Like we were supposed to be coming off of who comes off a sabbatical unrefreshed?

SPEAKER_01 25:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:18

Make it make sense. Yeah, and I and I feel like I just came to a place where I was like, what can come off of our plate? Like, you know, we've been saying this like for the whole year because the word for our family this year was simplicity, like making things simple. I remember saying to you, like, God wants to put more on our less. And I like, in my mind, I just I think of like a restaurant menu that we go to, and they have maybe 10 items on the menu, and they're buyer. You go there for those 10 items. They don't do anything else, they stay in their lane. And I felt like God has wanted that for our entire life. Like, we steward little that he gives us really well. We do a few things well. We we honor him in excellence in the things that we do, and that will create space and margin for us to breathe, for us to heal, for us to prioritize our wellness, for us to get back locked in. And for me, that was some of the things that I really focused on. Like just making things easier by taking unnecessary things off of our plate and really just dially in with intention.

Laying Down Ego To Restore Intimacy

SPEAKER_02 26:19

Yeah. So what I'm what I'm hearing you say is removing all the stuff. Because when you have all these stuff, the stuff you have to manage, how can you be aligned when you're both just running in circles and running all over the place? But the more that we were able to release and relinquish, the more we're able to simplify our lives, the easier it was for us to come together on the things that actually matter the most.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

Because when there's so much clutter, right? Like just think about a room. You walk into a room and it's completely dirty. It's chaotic. You don't even know where to start. You get like paralysis because you don't even know where to start. But like as you start over time, and as you start to clean up and take things out of the room, the little bit of clutter and mess that you see becomes more manageable because you can see clearer. And I felt like for us, we just had too much going on, actually have clarity to even be intentional.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Right. At taking care of each other, loving each other, showing up for each other, honoring each other. Right. Like we just didn't have it. So I felt like we needed to get some things off the plate. Yeah. So we can have that margin, have that capacity.

SPEAKER_02 27:17

For me, when I think about something that really helped us get realigned, um, I'd have to say it was us stepping outside of our ego. Okay. I remember last August, we were having a lot of arguments, a lot of heated discussions. Um, that was led by my ego, that was led by your ego. For sure. And I think that's why we kept butting heads. But as soon as we were like, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. What's our main focus? What's our main priority? At the end of the day, we know we love each other. For sure. We know we like each other. We like each other, we know we trust each other, and we know we want to do this together. For sure. So, so let's push all the stuff, our stuff, our baggage, our things to the side and get realigned. And I believe once we were able to just surrender that and be like, you know what, I'm sorry. Or you know what, I've been fearing X for so long. Or you know what, I have been holding on to this for years. Once we were able to do that and we were and release our ego, I believe um our alignment became so much stronger.

Walking Hand In Hand: Amos 3:3

SPEAKER_00 28:22

I I'd go even further to say that because we released our ego, we allowed a deeper level of intimacy to actually birth, right? Like having those hard conversations, keeping it real, and being like, you know what, this is what I was really feeling. I've been holding or harboring this in my body for this many years. And this came up from my childhood. Some of the wounds, some of the things that we were navigating weren't even things that we were facing as adults. These are things that were rooted in trauma from our childhoods. And I think really letting each other into each other's lives that way just deepened our connection and intimacy. And the enemy wants y'all to think that you can't lean into your spouse in that vulnerable way. But we say it all the time: life in the HOV lane, being honest, open, and vulnerable hates that. But your marriage loves that. God loves that, it's honoring and it sucks sometimes. It's you feel naked and it's and it's uncomfortable, but God gets the glory from it.

MOB: Marriage Over Business And Closing

SPEAKER_02 29:16

So a scripture that reminds me of alignment comes from Amos 3.3. Do two people walk hand in hand if they aren't going to the same place? Come on now. Now, when we're walking hand in hand, we're clearly walking together at the same pace, with the same posture, with peace and with presence. Come on. God's presence, right? Yes. And so um I just I just love going back to that scripture. And I encourage y'all to do the same thing too. Ask yourselves, are we walking this out hand in hand? Because if you're not, most likely you are misaligned. So this season, we're gonna be talking about all these things, guys.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

There's so much to fill up on, fill them up on, man.

SPEAKER_02 29:59

Yes, and and yes, there are gonna be strategies and tips here and there, but truly, this is all about showing how important it is to have faith at the center of your marriage and business.

SPEAKER_01 30:09

Come on.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

This isn't about achievement. Yeah, yes. Do we want your business and your marriage to experience achievement? Absolutely. But more than that, and before that, we want it to experience alignment with faith at the center.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

Yeah, and we want your marriage to bear fruit. We want your marriage to be a holy covenant that brings glory to God above everything. We got M O B. That's marriage over business. Like God wants to see every day. God wants to see that's we should have been in the South too long with the Airbus. God wants to see fruit, man. Oh, Avery's underneath me. God wants to see fruit, man. God wants to see uh your covenant just bring honor and glory to him. That's what this is about. We love to see your businesses flourish. We stand at the intersection of marriage, business, and how that in and how that interjects into culture. That is our hearts. But more than anything, it is making sure that people do not lose themselves, that they do not lose their joy, that they do not lose their peace working together when God has purpose for your marriage.
