Why the Gospel Matters in Everyday Marriage

Sex, Sexuality, and Union With Christ

In this episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, David Doran Jr. continues the marriage series by addressing a serious and important topic: what God’s Word says about sex, sexuality, and marriage. Sex is a good gift from God, but it is also a gift that must be stewarded according to God’s design and for God’s glory. David walks through key biblical passages including Genesis 1, Genesis 2, 1 Corinthians 6, and 1 Corinthians 7 to show how sex is connected to creation, marriage, covenant, union with Christ, and sacrificial love. This episode explores why sex belongs within marriage, how the fall has distorted sexuality, why Christians must think biblically in a sexually confused culture, and how husbands and wives are called to approach intimacy not with selfishness, performance, or indulgence, but with love, generosity, prayer, and mutual care.

How to Steward Love, Time, and Money in Marriage

In this episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, David Doran Jr. continues the marriage series by exploring what it means to love faithfully through real life. Christian marriage is built on the command to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. But unlike God, our love is not limitless. David walks through how marriage reveals what we truly value through the stewardship of limited resources like time, money, attention, relationships, energy, and abilities. Using passages like Mark 12, Matthew 6, Deuteronomy 8, Luke 12, and 2 Corinthians 8, this episode challenges couples to evaluate whether their lives are being shaped by the law of love or by self-interest.
