Season 2, Ep. 15 - The Danger of Blind Faith: Biblical Principles for Church Leadership

Season 2, Ep. 19 - Christ-Centered Marriage, Real Talk

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/986467/fan_mail/new] Four voices, two marriages, and one question we can’t ignore: why do Christian marriages often struggle in the same ways as everyone else? We invite our wives, Megan and Rebecca, to the Make a Man Podcast to bring a grounded wives’ perspective on love, conflict, and what actually keeps a relationship healthy over the long haul. We talk about why “Christ at the center” is more than a church phrase, especially when couples try to plug the empty space with busyness, friends, or entertainment. From there, we wrestle with divorce rates, selfishness, and the quiet damage of keeping score. The “50-50” idea sounds fair until it turns marriage into a ledger. We argue for 100 and 100: mutual sacrifice, mutual service, and the kind of submission that looks like strength rather than silence. The conversation also digs into biblical womanhood without stereotypes. We explore how churches and culture can both reduce women, why context matters in passages like 1 Corinthians 11, and how legalism around modesty or appearance can miss the heart of Jesus’ example. Along the way, we bring up Jael’s story from Judges as a reminder that the Bible includes bold, decisive women who don’t fit modern caricatures. We end with real-life nuance: roles in a marriage shift by season, gifting, and what your family needs right now, and caring for your home and kids is not “less than” for either spouse.
