Hello friend!
Have you heard the cliche, "Marriage should be 50/50 with each person doing their part." Or maybe even, "Marriage is 100/100 with each person giving it their all!" How do you know which one is right? And what if at this moment, it's 100/0?!
In this episode, I take a look at the question through what God says in Scripture. Join me in Genesis, Hosea, and 1 Corinthians to discover what effort we should be giving towards our marriage (and life). I can't wait to hear what you think!
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina

Hey sister!
Have you ever realized how much time people spend, pretenting to be someone they're not? Many times it's in the public eye like politicians or on social media. But sometimes it's in our own lives. Do you feel you know who you really are? Do you know who God says He created you to be? I'm about to make bold statement: I do not believe you can have authentic intimacy in your marriage until you know yourself, you know God's unique identity for you, and then you get to know your husband.
In today's episode, I talk about the importance of knowing yourself first, and I give you an acronym for SPIES to help. Just like a spy relays information about what's really going on behind the scenes, you can also dig deeper into your own heart. And I guarantee it will improve your marriage in the process.
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina

Hey girlfriend,
Today I'm talking about feeling stuck. I spent a lot of years claiming I didn't know what to do, when in reality I was procrastinating and unmotivated to change. However, not all of those years were wasted. I still think back on 4 specific things I did because I was trying to get out of the affair, I just didn't know how.
In this episode I share a book I read, a habit I formed, music I listened to, and a decision I made. And yes, these are choices I'm glad I made because they impacted my life in a positive way, even today. So do you feel stuck, and you're trying to find something you can do? I hope one of these ideas helps you!
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina

Hey friend!
Some practical tips coming at you today about rebuiding trust. Let's face it- without trust, there's no real relationship. And what I've found is that in order to rebuild trust in my marriage, I needed to practice being radically honest with myself and God first. And I mean, laying all the cards on the table, removing every mask, crying and yelling if I needed to- honest.
Or maybe for you it's the other way. You're begging your spouse to be honest and tell the truth for once. You want to rebuild the relationship, but you're waiting to see if you can trust again. Let me ask- do you trust yourself?
In this episode I open up about 4 ways to practice radical honesty, and I tell you which was my hardest one! So if you're ready to be challenged, find your safe space and pop in that earbud. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina

Hey friend!
Can I tell you a story today? It's a story about shame and hiding. And the surprising twist of grace. You see, shame just breeds more shame, so there has to be a plot-twist-injection-of-grace in order to disrupt the cycle. You can't get free alone. Oooh I can't wait for you to hear what this means for you!
In this episode I break down John 4 in a way you may not have heard before. I don't want to spoil any surprises, so buckle up, it's a juicy one! What begins as a story dripping with shame, ends full of hope. And I am here for it! Can't wait to hear what you think!
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina

Hey friend!
Have you ever used the D-word in conversation with your hubby? You know… (Divorce)? Marriage feels hopeless now, and you’re sure it’s beyond repair. The only thing that makes sense is some separation followed by permanent divorce. That way you can both go your separate ways and make the most of the life you have left.
In this episode I give you 5 questions to ask yourself before you decide to call it quits on your marriage. I know that in the world’s opinion, an affair automatically equals divorce. But what if there was another option? This definitely isn’t a topic to be taken lightly, and I’d love to hear your thoughts after you listen.
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina

Hey friend!
Are you, or someone that you know, stuck in an affair and wondering how to get out? Who can I talk to, and where can I go where I won’t be judged or feel shame? Let me reassure you now- not everyone gets access to your heart and story!
Today I dive into the very FIRST step of finding freedom, and that is finding and creating safe spaces in your life. These could be by yourself, but I also give a few ideas about safe people and safe physical places. Until you feel safe, you’ll stay stuck and unable to move forward towards freedom.
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
