Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hello, hello, everybody. We are back with yet another episode of one of our two podcasts. This is season one, episode nine, Beauty from Broken Vows, part three, guys. So we just ended with the last question that I asked my husband. I asked him how would he describe the severity of breaking a covenant. If you guys have not watched and or listened to the last two parts of this, I definitely encourage you, or we definitely encourage you to go back and listen to part one and part two so that y'all can get ready for part three, which we're about to start right now. But before we do, I'm gonna go ahead and pray us in. I'm gonna go ahead and do that now. Dear Heavenly Father, Lord God, I just want to thank you right now for for one waking us up today, having us in our right state of minds, for having us in good health, Lord God. Lord, we thank you for being our provider, our healer, our deliverer, Lord, our creator, our father, our friend. Lord, right now, I just thank you for just the ability to be able to share our testimony, Lord God. Your word says that we are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of our testimony. So right now, Lord, I thank you for allowing us to be able to share our testimony, and I pray that your will be done through this podcast, through these episodes, Lord God, and that people are healed, people are set free, people are delivered, that these are words that they needed to hear, Lord. Just that they know that they have not gone too far. No matter what they have done, there is still power in your blood, there is still healing in your blood, there's redemption in your blood. So, Lord God, I just thank you for redeeming us and allowing us to be here seven years later, seven years in our marriage, and just truly keeping us through. Lord, I thank you and I love you. I just pray that the rest of this episode goes well and that it truly touches the hearts and the minds of each and every listener. In Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen.

SPEAKER_03 1:49

Amen. Uh it's on me.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

Yes, it's on you.

SPEAKER_03 1:54

It's on me, huh? Uh so let's see. What should a person do when they feel that their spouse is making a non-senful but incorrect decision? Which you believe to be incorrect.

SPEAKER_00 2:10

Mm-hmm. Good question. If I was talking to a wife and she felt like her husband was going in the wrong direction, not something that was simple, but just something in the wrong direction, and the husband is just not hearing the wife out, I would say for one, pray, because two things can be happening. One, you could be wrong. I'm talking to the wife. The wife, you you could be wrong. Two, there could be a reason why he's not hearing you. That reason could be you, could be your delivery. The reason could also be him. He could be dealing with some type of pride or something that's making him feel like he does not have to consider what you have to say. So to attack all of that, whatever that possibility may be, pray. And when you go and pray, don't go praying, pointing fingers, like, oh, he's doing this, he's doing this, he's doing this. I mean, I you can say, Lord, my husband is not hearing me. Can you show me why? But just lead us in this season right here, in this moment right here. And I feel like that'll give you the answer. He'll give you the answers that you need.

SPEAKER_03 3:22

And that's I think that's so important. So important what you said is it's not you versus your husband. We said this in part one, I believe. It's not you versus your husband or your spouse. Y'all are y'all are in the same situation, y'all are one trying to achieve a specific goal. So, with that mindset, you don't enter into a situation seeking to get your answer, but you want the right answer. So I think that's a great, great input.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

Yeah. Well, great question. Great question. I feel like that's that's something that a lot of people have to realize, like a lot of the time, and honestly, a lot of the time, the problem, it might be you. It might be you. And and that's even that's just in relationships. Period. That's just life, period. Like, it's it's almost like that analogy. What they say, uh, you know, you point, you use your finger to point, but there's like three pointed, four pointed back at you. Like, literally, that is, I'm not gonna lie, that's pretty spot on.

SPEAKER_01 4:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:25

Because it's like every time you can point something wrong in somebody else, you can find some things wrong with you too. And I just think that that can be applied across the board.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

So it's back in the log, huh?

SPEAKER_00 4:36

Yeah, yeah. Literally, literally. Okay, in your opinion, what are three of the biggest mistakes we've collectively made in our marriage?

SPEAKER_03 4:48

Infidelity. I would say moving too fast financially in specific situations.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

Can I touch on that real quick? I would say, and you've told me this each move we've made, financially and physically, that if we would have just waited a little longer. Because don't don't get me wrong, God has been showing up and showing out, but I believe that he's always wanted to do more. I believe he wants to do more now. So we, you know, I know we this this was supposed to be our possible forever home, but we have a nice, we have a nice home. We have a very nice home. I love our home. I my husband doesn't like moving, y'all, but the Lord, he's gonna do more, he wants to do more. But this time, you know, as my husband has said the two times we have moved, like if we would have just waited a little longer, I would say this time, I just want to be in his perfect will.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

His perfect will.

SPEAKER_00 5:47

Yeah, not his permissible will, but his perfect will. Um, whatever he has for us. So I wanted to just touch on that because yeah, slow down, allow the Lord to just fully direct you and lead you. That's some that's some advice, y'all.

unknown 6:03

One more thing.

SPEAKER_03 6:04

Third thing. Man, you just queen the three things, huh?

SPEAKER_00 6:10

Got a little razzle nazw.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

Over here, locking me up. Um, thing three.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

I got one of you though.

SPEAKER_03 6:21

Ooh, instantly. This one should have came up first. Not dealing with all of the demons and strongholds and and uh going through deliverance before getting married. Before you get married.

SPEAKER_00 6:34

Dang, that's a good one.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

Man, because you you want to walk into this covenant with a clean slate. You don't want to be carrying a bunch of baggets. Jesus walked around this earth, he traveled light. You don't want to travel in this space carrying a huge load.

SPEAKER_00 6:51

Goodness gracious. That's heavy.

SPEAKER_03 6:53

It's so important because we we we've been through a lot, we really have. And a lot of people give up on a lot of people would have a relationship that looked like what I always looked like.

SPEAKER_00 7:06

A lot of people would have. Man, that's that's heavy, and I'm not gonna lie to you. Marriage counseling is cool, but get that deliverance. First of all, be honest. Be honest of what's going on with you. Seek somebody that you trust that has the spiritual knowledge to deal with all of what's going on.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

And I was and I'm gonna tell you why that's so important. Because your flesh and your mind may lie to you. But your spirit, it just can't.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

It can't.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

It cannot. Your spirit cannot lie. So whatever whatever is going on spiritually, there's no can't run from it. Yeah, there's no masking it.

SPEAKER_00 7:54

See that, man. See that today, like, you know, just still dealing. Breaking these things down, it's no running from it. Sorry to interrupt, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:05

You good.

SPEAKER_00 8:07

So that was that was a good one. That that's like that's like a heavy hitter. Like you said, that should have been number one.

SPEAKER_03 8:13

That should have been the first thing.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

Man, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:19

Okay, one's a little personal.

SPEAKER_00 8:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:22

Uh, what part of you do you find hard submitting to your husband?

SPEAKER_00 8:27

All right, so I would say an area where I have a problem with submitting and just fully like, you know, letting go and just allowing you to have the final say to something. It would be something that like let's say if I really, really, really want something, you know, I am at the big age of 30. I can say I am pretty spoiled, right? I just being honest, just being asked for eight-man corner.

SPEAKER_03 9:00

Yes, you did.

SPEAKER_00 9:01

I didn't. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Um so clearly my husband agrees, but um, you know, just I would say I'm I'm I'm a very spoiled, um, spoiled girl. And you know, when I really want something, I kinda don't fully take a note. I kind of will find a way to make it fit and make it make sense so that I'm able to get what I want. And honestly, that sounds horrible, and that's kind of something I've been talking about lately, like just kind of trying to release control. That control that control, because honestly, y'all, dealing with any type of control or anything, that's that's a dangerous game, and in a sense, it's not funny, it's actually not funny because it's almost like we're making it sound cute, but it's not cute. Control. I don't know if I would go as far as to say manipulation, but even just coming close to a word like that, and you could tell me, does that if it sounds like manipulation, you you can tell me because and you can tell me right now if you want. Does it does it sound like manipulation?

SPEAKER_03 10:12

Let's see.

SPEAKER_00 10:13

You about to look up what manipulation is? The definition, y'all, y'all know how I am about these definitions, and we we both are. We like to look up and make sure we're using words properly and making sure we're answering the question properly.

SPEAKER_03 10:26

Hmm. To control or play upon by artful, unfair, insidious means, especially to one's own advantage. So that seems manipulation, just seems like a very intentional thing, just by this definition.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Okay, so with that definition, be honest.

SPEAKER_03 10:48

I don't believe that it's intentional. I just believe that you really desire to have what you desire to have. And I think it speaks more so to the depth of your desire rather than trying to manipulate the means to the means to get it.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

It's still a dangerous game to play, though. It is very because I ain't gonna lie, that that kind of got me shook a little bit because that's not good. Manipulation is not that's like manipulation is you know what manipulation is? What is it?

SPEAKER_03 11:20

Tell me.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Witchcraft. You knew that?

SPEAKER_03 11:24

I know it now.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

Yeah, look it up.

SPEAKER_03 11:28

It's a former witchcraft in Christian teachings.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

Hey, say it again.

SPEAKER_03 11:32

I said it's a former witchcraft in Christian teachings because it seeks to control or influence others through deception, fear, coercion rather than submitting to God's will.

SPEAKER_00 11:44

Yeah. So, like I said, the Lord has been highlighting to me control. We sound a little too close to manipulation, so it ain't cute.

SPEAKER_03 11:54

It impedes on free will.

SPEAKER_00 11:56

Yeah, exactly. It impedes on free will. So, in a sense, it's not that I'm necessarily impeding on your free will. Like, this isn't like a I'm not conjuring up like, oh, I'm just gonna trick him into doing like that's not what I'm doing. So, like I said, it's not necessarily manipulation, but it's too close, it's too close for comfort for me. So, Lord, for one, I thank you for this conviction right now, the continuous conviction, because we tear we're tearing these things down. Um, but no, I would definitely say that is an area where I struggle to submit, like when I really want something, I don't really unless if it's just like a hard, hard, hard no, and I'm like, okay, nah, Hubby said no. So I just gotta move on, move on to the next thing. And even then, sometimes I'm like, well, I can't get this, so can I get this? It's and oh man, I'm I'm just thinking about Scout. Because man, she got it honest, she got it honest. Um, or if if if there's a no, she's like, So we don't have any. No, the answer is just no because the answer is no. But yeah, that would be my answer. That would be my answer. If I have ever helped strengthen your faith, how did I do so?

SPEAKER_03 13:10

I'm gonna pull out my phone because I wanna I wanna pull up this this text message.

SPEAKER_00 13:14

Okay, y'all would not believe us if we told y'all what time it was right now. Should we tell them? Tell them. Y'all, it is officially 4 a.m. We are dedicated to finishing this right here. So the question was, if I have ever helped strengthen your faith, how did I do so?

SPEAKER_03 13:37

So a while back, I was watching another podcast and a scripture was highlighted to me. It's James chapter 5, verses 19 through 20. And it reads, My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you strays from the truth and falls into error, and another one turns his back to God, let the latter one know that the one who has turned a sinner from the error of his way will save that one's soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. So that scripture was highlighted to me in the podcast because that reminded me of what my wife did for me. Like I said, I didn't want, I rejected God, I didn't want anything to do with him. Her persistence in just dropping nuggets in my ear. We probably need to go to church more, we need to stream today, you know, things like that played a pivotal role in me coming back to Christ. Because if she wouldn't have done that, I don't think we would have made it back here. I know the law works in mysterious ways, but we I had no desire, zero desire to be in the presence of God.

SPEAKER_00 14:54

So can I ask you something? This wasn't even on my on my questions. But knowing that I had a standard in order for us to stay together, what made you say, okay, well, I'm gonna still stay in this marriage, but I'm not gonna be meeting her standard?

SPEAKER_03 15:13

I've always had a desire in the midst of all of the infidelity. I've always had a desire to make you happy. And at one point in time, you were definitely my God, and that's a conversation for probably another episode.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

Yeah, because well, I'm gonna say because that's the first time I've heard that.

SPEAKER_03 15:35

But yeah, yeah, above all else, I I believe that was my only desire. So when when you ask me why stay knowing I couldn't fulfill your standard, in my mind, I felt like I could make you happy anyway.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

By just doing the act. The acts.

SPEAKER_03 15:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

Yeah, rather than it being a genuine relationship with the father, it was like if I could just do these steps.

SPEAKER_03 16:00

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 16:01

Like you said, you were checking a box. I gotcha. Okay. So basically the answer to this question of like how I strengthen your faith is like basically I brought you back to Christ and helped you get your soul saved.

SPEAKER_03 16:17

Get my soul saved.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Amen. Amen to that. Amen to that. Your turn.

SPEAKER_03 16:25

What is your view on financial transparency with our children?

SPEAKER_00 16:31

That's a good question, but I'm not gonna lie, that is a question that I definitely have planned for us to have like a full episode on, just because we do not currently agree, but I can still give my answer, and then of course this will be another episode. Um, or at least, you know, I don't know if we're getting closer to agreeing or not, but my answer to that would be I believe that we should be somewhat transparent. I do not believe that our children need to know exact numbers. I feel like our bank account is our bank account, but I believe we can teach them through scenarios. We can teach them through the same way we got math problems back when we were in elementary school and the the problems were set up and we understood the concepts. I believe that that is how we can teach them. I don't believe that our children need to know exactly what's in our bank account. I think our bank account is our bank account. Certain things, in my opinion, should be within a marriage, and that's one of them. And I I think that goes beyond our children. I think nobody should know. I feel like it it feels violating for someone to know what you exactly have in the bank. That's my answer.

SPEAKER_03 17:51

Like you said, I don't we're probably gonna cover this in another episode, or I don't know if I'll be a part of that episode.

SPEAKER_00 17:58

No, you of course you will. This is a conversation.

SPEAKER_03 18:02

It's a setup, guys. It's a setup.

SPEAKER_00 18:04

Yeah, it's a setup for sure. Another episode for sure. Yeah, that's my take. That's my take, but I know you have a you have an opposing take still.

SPEAKER_03 18:13

I do have an opposing take.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

So yeah, y'all, whenever that that episode drops, y'all hear his opposing take on that. Um, my next question is in what ways have we grown together since the beginning of our marriage? I didn't put a number on it, so you can I didn't put I didn't say three ways of just, you know, however many ways you feel. We've grown together.

SPEAKER_03 18:40

So body mass is one way.

SPEAKER_00 18:47

Body mass? Okay.

SPEAKER_03 18:50

You don't like that answer?

SPEAKER_00 18:52

No, no, I do not. No, but it's okay.

SPEAKER_03 18:57

I've grown.

SPEAKER_00 18:59

I mean, I'm grown too. I done had three kids.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

Yeah, but at least you have an excuse for it. I just grew.

SPEAKER_00 19:06

Well, it affects you too. We've we've we've grown, we're older. Very funny answer, dude.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

But uh, anyway, back to my wow back to my answer before I was rudely interrupted.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

Man, no, that was a crazy answer. So anybody was talking about physically so what else?

SPEAKER_03 19:29

Ooh, what else?

SPEAKER_00 19:32

Dang. Um just playing, I'm not offended. It's messing well.

SPEAKER_03 19:40

Maturity for sure. Maturity, definite growth in our communication skills, growth in our intentionality towards each other. And I know, I know we kind of ended off last episode and started this episode with some of the struggles of marriage, but please understand that marriage is beautiful, marriage has been beautiful for us. Um, we both are in love and uh and enjoy being married to each other. Like this is a gift from God. Um, like like my family, the Thomases always say, This is our first ministry. Our marriage comes above every other thing.

SPEAKER_00 20:27

So except for God, except for God, and then our spouse. And that's the order, y'all. Now God and your kids, then your spouse. It's God, your spouse, and then your kids. Because that's that's a lot of who man, a lot of people think it's the other way around. They also think, you know, in certain seasons there's an excuse. No, no, because y'all are one. How are you gonna do that? It's it don't work that way. So sorry to I just I just felt led to say that because a lot of people have it twisted.

SPEAKER_03 21:05

Yeah, marriage, marriage has been beautiful for us, and God has blessed us in many ways. Um, God has given me a support, and she has done a fantastic job. There's no one else I would rather do this with, do life with. And it's everything has just been a blessing. The journey, as rocky as it has been, made us stronger.

SPEAKER_00 21:29

It's the beauty from broken vows. God is good. God is good, y'all. This is, and honestly, I feel like I feel like there's so much more. But we we gotta we gotta get to a stopping point, you know. But God has truly done a miraculous work within us individually and within our marriage, within our children, the testimony that has come from our first daughter. And like we said, we will do a whole nother episode or episode. Episodes on that, but God has just been amazing to us. And you know, the more we found ourselves being faithful to him, the more faithful he's been to us. And even in the times when we weren't faithful to him, he still kept us. He still kept us. Like, no, I'm gonna do something with those two. Absolutely. I have a I have a plan for those two. I just need them to get on board. Get on board. Partner with me. You know, partner with his Holy Spirit. So, um do you have any more questions for me? Did you get through all your questions?

SPEAKER_03 22:36

I think I am good. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 22:39

All right. Well, I have one more for you. And this one is going to be for you know, you to kind of give some advice. What advice would you give to a young man contemplating marriage?

SPEAKER_03 22:52

Um advice to somebody who is courting a a woman. A man who is courting a woman.

SPEAKER_00 22:59

Go on today and say man and woman.

SPEAKER_03 23:02

Advice to a man who is courting a woman. Um, I would definitely say to get your spiritual affairs in order. I mean, it's so easy to look at your life and say, well, I'm not where I want to be financially. I'm not, I don't have a house, I don't have the car that I want. I didn't fulfill this aspect of my business. Um, and many other, many other reasons uh worldly, logically, a person could have to want to hold off on marriage, but uh that spiritual alignment is important and understanding that the Holy Spirit should be your first relationship. Why? Because that's training grounds. Every characteristic that you will get from the Holy Spirit in your intimate relationship with him should follow you in your relationship with others. Yes. And your marriage or the woman you plan on marrying. So you get that in order. The Holy Spirit is giving you, is gonna give you instruction, and that instruction will be to crucify the worldly things and seek deliverance from spiritual bondage because those are the most important things to get rid of, to expel before you are married. Financially, you can make a commitment with your spouse to build financially. What do I mean by that? There may be there was a point in time early on in our relationship and in our marriage where I didn't make a lot of money and I didn't have a lot of money. And my wife kind of carried the brunt of that.

SPEAKER_00 24:47

I I just to clarify, we got together and we started dating. I was able to work. I had a job, and I was heavily, heavily, heavily doing hair. So I was like making double, I was making a lot of money. And I was able to save as where you were a college athlete who, you know, actively was committed to being a college athlete. You were in school, you were a football player, and you were actually like good. You were really good. Um, and you were actually utilized on the team, so you were dedicated to that. And so going into our marriage, that was the stance that we were in, you know. So just just letting the people know like what our situation actually looked like.

SPEAKER_03 25:37

The fact of the matter is, we were given, the Lord gave us a spouse to be able to work through the physical things together. You know, there's there's no standard as to how that happens in the physical, the all are a team. And you're following the instruction of the Holy Spirit because he's ultimately wise.

SPEAKER_00 26:00

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 26:00

So, yeah, definitely the spiritual affairs are your very first thing, the most paramount thing that you need to do. Even if you're not getting married, but especially when you're introducing a new flesh into yours or you become in one with someone, right? Yeah, you gotta have yourself together spiritually. Yes, you know, save yourself years of turmoil. Turmoil.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

No, that's that is so good. And I just want to touch on the financial, just to say this. Um, you know, like you said, there's no, what did you say? There's no uh standard. Yeah, there's no standard, yeah. There's no standard. And I and to that I will say, boy, have those roles reversed. Because, you know, now where we are now, it's like you the you're the breadwinner, you know, and I'm I'm the homemaker. And it's so beautiful. Like, when I tell you, you know, I think I asked you like last week, like, how does it feel, you know, just knowing that your wife and your kids are just put up and you're taken care of, like as a man, what does that do for you? Like I actually, yeah, I'm gonna ask you that now. I'm asking you now. Share it, share it with the people, and not in a proper way, but just from a standpoint of like, wow, like you know how I feel. I feel like this is literally the way God intended it for it to be, you know. Us the wives, the mothers being at home, cultivating the home, being a homemaker, making sure affairs are in order while the men go out and work. And that's not to say that I don't make money, because I do, but you make the the money money. So how does it feel?

SPEAKER_03 27:54

I don't think I I don't think I necessarily have an emotion behind you know, you guys being stored up. I do love the fact that everything is in order. I love the fact that whether it's you or me, you know, we never have to worry about if the kids, either either one of us are gonna eat. I love the fact that we're able to supply a lifestyle.

SPEAKER_00 28:24

A very comfortable lifestyle.

SPEAKER_03 28:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 28:27

Very comfortable.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

Right.

SPEAKER_00 28:28

And that's nothing but God.

SPEAKER_03 28:30

That's nothing but God. And honestly and truly, we've always been comfortable. We never seen struggle. There was a point in time where my wife wasn't working and I made, I barely made over minimum wage, and we never seen struggle.

SPEAKER_00 28:45

I mean, we bought our first house under those same circumstances.

SPEAKER_03 28:47

Under those same circumstances.

SPEAKER_00 28:49

And when we look back at those numbers, we're like, that makes absolutely no sense.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

Zero.

SPEAKER_00 28:54

No sense whatsoever. When I tell y'all the math was not mathing, but God don't work on our number system.

SPEAKER_03 29:02

No, he does not.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

And with our math problems and our arithmetic.

SPEAKER_03 29:08

Yes, God got his own arithmetic, guys.

SPEAKER_00 29:11

Yeah, he does. He really do because he made it, he made it happen. And sure enough, that house catapulted this house.

SPEAKER_03 29:20

Um, that is all we have for this episode, guys. So, like we always do before we end this episode, I am going to offer you guys a prayer of repentance and salvation. So, if there's anything that you guys heard that makes you want to just know who the God that we serve, if you want to know who the God that we serve, who he is, and what he's all about and what a relationship is like with him, I want to go ahead and lead y'all in a prayer of repentance and salvation. So I'm gonna, if you're watching this on YouTube, I'm gonna go ahead and put the prayer on the screen. And if you're listening, I am going to be praying and I'm gonna put some pauses in there so that you can repeat after me. So, dear Heavenly Father, I am a sinner in desperate need of a savior. I believe what your word says in John 3.16. And Lord, I thank you for loving me this much. I repent right now for my sins and for breaking your laws. I genuinely ask for your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son, who has died on the cross for my sins. I believe that he rose on the third day for my victory. I now declare and receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. May the blood of Jesus speak on my behalf from this day forward. Thank you for seeking after me and accepting me into your kingdom. Amen. Alright, guys, that is all we have for this episode here. This is season one, episode nine, part three of Beauty from Broken Vows. And y'all, that this truly has encompassed the beauty from broken vows. Not to glorify what we've done to break the vows, because that's not what I'm saying, but just how God can truly redeem anything and really take a dead situation and make it live and make it whole again. So I really, really hope, we really, really hope that this episode has blessed you. Um, if there's any topics that you guys want to discuss moving forward, y'all get the conversations going, leave us some comments. Um, if y'all have any questions for us, anything that y'all want us to elaborate more on, y'all feel free to ask. This has been an honor and a privilege to just share our testimony or some of our testimony with you guys. And of course, we hope to do more, we will do more as the Holy Spirit leads us. So, yeah, thank you guys for listening. Thank y'all for watching, and we will definitely see y'all soon again. Bye guys.
