The "Mercy Seat"
05/24/20 • 46 min
We all said, "I do" with the hopes and dreams that our marriages would be different than any relationship we ever had. We wanted a relationship full of connection, joy, trust, and romance; one to truly call sacred. Today we talk about how confession/apology and forgiveness are the keys to making your marriage that sacred place you call "home." What does it mean to sit in the "Mercy Seat" for your husband or wife?
In his book, Breathing Under Water, Richard Rohr says, "The Secret of the Soul is that love is not love unless it is totally free, and grace is not grace unless it is totally free."
This episode will help you discover how the mercy seat can transform your marriage into the relationship that is like no other you have ever had. We are sure of it!
So let's get started!

"How Do You Do it?"
This episode begins with a story of our 20-something-year-old daughter (at the time) joining us for dinner, and out of the blue she asked... "How do you do it?" It wasn't a question about, you know, how we "do it." It was more personal than that! It was about how in the midst of our imperfections we still remain friends. Her question was really about how we continue to grow our intimacy with each other as flawed, sometimes hurtful, annoying, and even selfish people. In this episode, we discuss our authentic answer to her curious question. We hope you make it part of your marriage story!

I'm Right! You're Wrong!
This week has been a remarkable and painful time in our history, as the number of lives lost to Covid-19 reached 100,000 and we witnessed another senseless death of an African-American, Mr. George Floyd. Today we discuss (in the context of marriage) how division is rooted in the faulty thinking of "dualism." It is a relatively short episode, but loaded with nuggets to help us find the road to reconciliation, personal growth, and freedom.
This is an episode you won't want to miss! We are sure of it!
