S1E7 The Biblical Theology of Sexuality

Scripture has more to say about our bodies and sex than most people expect — and it’s better news than they’ve heard. This episode traces the Bible’s full arc on sexuality, from the goodness of its original design in Genesis, through the distortions of the fall, to the surprising New Testament reframe where both marriage and singleness become signs pointing to Christ and his church. Sex is a good gift from God—but it points to something ever greater.

S1E6 What Husbands Wish Their Wives Knew

Most husbands aren’t emotionally absent — they’re emotionally hidden. This episode pulls back the curtain on three things men rarely say out loud: the feelings they’ve been taught to suppress, the visual battle they fight every day, and how much a wife’s belief in them actually matters. An honest conversation for wives who want to understand, and husbands who want to be known.

S1E5 Spiritual Leadership

Many husbands want to lead their families spiritually, but have never been shown what that actually looks like. And most wives would love nothing more than for their husband to step into that role — they're just still waiting. Complementarian is a word that covers an enormous range — from something close to patriarchy all the way to marriages that look functionally equal in daily life. In this episode, Becky Brown (Women’s Ministry Director at New Valley Church) joins Scott to get honest about where they actually land, what Paul is really saying in Ephesians 5, and what spiritual leadership looks like — and doesn't — in a gospel-centered marriage.

S1E4 What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew

What do you wish your husband actually knew? This is the conversation your wife has been trying to start for years — we're starting it for her. Joining us is Becky Brown, Director of Women's Ministry at New Valley Church. Mental load. Communication. Intimacy across the seasons of marriage. Spiritual leadership. And the one topic nobody talks about in church that came up anyway.

S1E3 Leave and Cleave

In the beginning of the Bible, we see the very first wedding ceremony. The woman is brought to the man, and they are gifted with a special, one-flesh kind of union. Genesis 2:24 says that this union is achieved as a man “leaves” his father and mother and “cleaves” to his wife. Scott and Hunter discuss how to leave well for your spouse and how to cleave well to them.
