  • Love this podcast!

    The hosts are real, relatable, fun- and not afraid to tackle hard topics with grace, truth, & just the right amount of humor! Love the way they can address marriage issues from both the husband’s and wife’s points of view. This podcast is for newlyweds and more “seasoned” couples!

  • Great content but distracting host

    Great topics but one of the hosts talks over the guests and constantly says “totally” and “for sure”. It’s distracting from the conversation at hand and some coaching on how to interview could be helpful.

    Otherwise great content.

  • What a Blessing to Our Marriage!

    I’m so glad I stumbled across this podcast last year. It has helped me in so many ways, as a woman of God, mother, and wife. I share it with friends anytime I can. I love how practical each episode is, and especially that they always share what the Bible says first. They share their own raw experiences, which have helped me in navigating some of life’s challenges with my husband. My husband and I also had the pleasure of meeting Scott and Derek at Harris Creek earlier this year and they are just... more

  • So encouraging!

    I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your podcast, it’s such an encouraging space for couples of all ages! I live in South Dakota and started listening when our daughter became a student at Baylor and a member of Harris Creek. We have attended HC many times, and I even lived in Waco last spring for 6 weeks to help our daughter recover from ACL/meniscus repair. Thank you for your great advice and ministry! 🙏🏻

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 203- Betrayal to Restoration ft. Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith
Q: What's the difference between the couples that make it and those that don't?
Matthew says couples who recover both take responsibility and do the work rather than focusing on blame. Over time, accepting their story and being willing to share it can help them grow closer and support others.
Episode 203- Betrayal to Restoration ft. Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith
Q: What does betrayal do to a marriage?
Joanna says disclosure can shatter a partner's sense of truth, safety, trust, and intimacy. Matthew adds that secrecy prevents genuine connection, while both describe how a continuing desire to stay together can support rebuilding.
Episode 176- Navigating the Family Unfriendly Culture ft. Tim Carney
Q: What does a broad view of 'family unfriendly culture' look like in practical terms?
It's about recognizing how societal pressures—from media, work demands, and organized activities—shape family time and marital health, and choosing counter-cultural practices like prioritizing family time, fostering community involvement, and avoiding over-scheduling to protect marriages.
Episode 168- Balancing Two Busy Jobs in Marriage
Q: How can you and your spouse balance two busy jobs?
Prioritize communication and make sure to align expectations regarding work commitments. Take time for each other amidst the busyness by committing to daily and weekly check-ins.
Episode 162- Joy in Marriage
Q: How do you see joy even when life is hard?
Finding joy requires discipline and a commitment to focus on gratitude and connection with God.
