    Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in Marriage with Richard & Kelly Kannwischer Jul 07, 2026
    Show notes

    This week on the Marriage After God podcast: Richard Kannwischer has spent years thinking about what's quietly cultivating our families, whether we notice it or not, and it reframed how he sees his own marriage and his kids' formation. He and his wife Kelly join us to talk about the rage of the age creeping into our homes, why the fruit of the Spirit is one fruit and not nine, and the simple daily practice Richard says will train real joy into a marriage faster than anything else.

    Richard is the author of Cultivate: How God Grows the Fruit of the Spirit Within Us, senior pastor of Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, has been married to Kelly for 27 years, and together they lead Wonderfully Made Ministry, a day program creating community and vocational opportunity for adults with intellectual disabilities. Connect with Richard and get a free study guide PDF at richardkannwischer.com.

    In This Episode

    • One fruit, not nine — Richard explains why the fruit of the Spirit isn't a menu to pick and choose from, and what that means for how we're actually meant to grow.
    • Holy instead of happy — The question that reframes marriage: what if it was designed to make us like Christ, not just make us comfortable?
    • Training real joy — The one-month Psalms practice Richard learned from Dallas Willard for building joy that doesn't depend on your circumstances.
    • Gentleness in the age of outrage — Why Richard says gentleness is the fruit he feels most convicted about right now, and what social media is training our kids toward instead.

    Forgiveness Doesn't Wait for an Apology — with Leann Murphy Jun 30, 2026
    Show notes

    What carries a marriage through infidelity, a cancer diagnosis, and 38 years of ordinary days in between? Leann Murphy has lived all three with her husband Mike, and she joins us to talk about what actually held their marriage together when the world told her to walk away. Our conversation is honest about the hardest season of her marriage, generous with the forgiveness she found on the other side of it, and full of the wisdom she later turned into letters for her own sons.

    Author of Becoming a Husband: 21 Days of Preparation for a Son of God and Becoming a Wife: 21 Days of Preparation for a Daughter of God, published through Focus on the Family. Married to Mike for almost 38 years, mother of two sons, and grandmother to three grandsons, Leann and Mike live in central Louisiana. Connect with Leann and read more of her writing at karenleannmurphy.com.

    In This Episode

    • A covenant, not a contract — Leann explains why believing her marriage was a covenant with God, not just a promise to Mike, is the reason she and Mike are still married at 38 years.
    • The season they almost didn't survive — Around year fifteen, infidelity nearly ended their marriage, and most of the counsel pointed toward separating. Leann gets honest about how they stayed.
    • Forgiveness that doesn't wait for repentance — A clear, biblical case for why forgiveness has to come before reconciliation — and why withholding it puts us above Christ.
    • Practical, biblical guidance for parents and newlyweds on shifting from parental authority to mentorship without losing the relationship.

    About This Episode

    What if there's only one thing in your entire life you could be the greatest at — and you've been neglecting it? Pastor Mark Moore has been married 40 years, pastors a giga church with 18 campuses in Phoenix, and has spent decades studying Scripture. His answer to that question is one of the most freeing things you'll hear. This conversation is honest, practical, and grounded in the Word.

    Meet Pastor Mark Moore

    • The thing that kept their marriage together — After 40 years, it wasn't what you might expect. Mark gets honest about the blind spots he carried for decades and what finally brought them to light.
    • Social media as a modern idol — Practical, no-nonsense rules for protecting your marriage and your kids from the damage of devices and the algorithms designed to exploit you.
    • The silent killer of great marriages — Proverbs has more to say about this than almost any other topic. Mark connects it directly to why so many promising marriages plateau or fall apart.

    28 Marriage Devotional: What Intimacy Really Means Jun 10, 2026
    Show notes

    In this week’s episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron and Jennifer Smith continue their 30-week marriage devotional series by discussing the role of intimacy in marriage. While many people immediately think of physical intimacy when they hear the word intimacy, Aaron and Jennifer explain that God designed marriage to include physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy. They share how intimacy reflects God’s relational nature, why vulnerability is essential for connection, and how couples can intentionally cultivate deeper unity in every area of their marriage.

    Key Takeaways

    • Intimacy is more than sex, but physical intimacy is an important and God-designed part of marriage.
    • Humans are created in the image of a relational God and are designed for deep connection.
    • Marriage is the only earthly relationship where every level of intimacy is meant to be experienced.
    • Physical intimacy builds unity, trust, comfort, and connection between husband and wife.
    • Emotional intimacy grows through vulnerability, communication, empathy, and attentive listening.
    • Spiritual intimacy is cultivated through prayer, worship, Scripture, and pursuing God together.
    • True intimacy begins with a relationship with God, not with our spouse.
    • Vulnerability is necessary for building trust and deeper connection in marriage.
    • Couples should not allow distractions, bitterness, exhaustion, or unresolved conflict to hinder intimacy.
    • Both spouses should take responsibility for initiating intimacy rather than waiting for the other person.
    • Obedience to God in marriage is not contingent on a spouse’s actions or responses.
    • Healthy intimacy requires continual investment and intentionality over time.

    26 Marriage Devotional: Why We Hide from God and How to Return to Restoration May 13, 2026
    Show notes

    In week 26 of the Marriage After God devotional series, Aaron and Jennifer tackle the hard truth: we all sin, and the natural impulse is to hide. This episode unpacks what it means to acknowledge sin, respond with repentance, and pursue restoration in marriage and faith. Drawing from Scripture (James 4:17; Romans 14:23; Genesis 3:6–11; Ephesians 5), they discuss the roots of hiding, the pull of shame, and the life-giving path of confession, accountability, and walking in the Spirit.


    Key Takeaways

    • Sin is universal: we all fall short and the Bible teaches a clear standard for sin.
    • Hiding vs. repentance: the natural instinct to hide is common, but God calls us toward repentance and reconciliation.
    • Practical response: acknowledge sin, repent humbly, seek restoration with your spouse, and rely on the Holy Spirit rather than self-justification.
    • Genesis 3 reminder: Adam and Eve hid after sin, but God pursued them and restoration began with honest confession.
    • Guardrails for marriage: use accountability, grace, and ongoing conversation to safeguard your relationship from repeated sin.

    Scripture references discussed

    • James 4:17
    • Romans 14:23b
    • Genesis 3:6–11
    • Ephesians 5 (context for how we love and walk with each other)

    Who this episode is for

    • Married couples navigating temptation, sin, and relational tension.
    • Believers seeking practical steps to confess, repent, and restore intimacy with God and spouse.
    • Listeners wanting a biblically grounded framework for handling sin in marriage.

    25 Marriage Devotional: Embracing God’s Order in Marriage Apr 08, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, we explore how God’s design brings order to every sphere—creation, institutions, church, and specifically marriage. We discuss how without order life becomes chaotic, how even the smallest parts of life reveal a coordinated design, and why aligning with God’s order leads to fruitfulness and peace in the home.

    Key Points

    • God is a God of order: order = design and purpose, from cells to creation to marriage.
    • Order in creation: Genesis 1–2 shows day-by-day structure; God declares His creation “good.”
    • Evidence of a Creator: the intricate, interdependent parts of systems (e.g., a cell’s parts like nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria) rely on each other to function.
    • Order in church and home: 1 Corinthians 14:40 emphasizes decency and order in gathering; diverse gifts function together for a common purpose.
    • Practical impact on marriage: aligning with God’s order reduces chaos, brings peace, and increases fruitfulness in the home.
    • Humble posture before God’s ways: Isaiah 55:8–11 reminds us that God’s thoughts and ways are higher; trust and surrender to His design for marriage and life.

    Scripture References

    • 1 Corinthians 14:40 – “All things should be done decently and in order.”
    • Genesis 1–2 – Creation order and purpose.
    • Colossians 1:16–17 – Creation through Him and for Him; He holds all things together.
    • Isaiah 55:8–11 – God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours.


    Practical Takeaways

    • Seek God’s order in daily marriage life: roles, responsibilities, and communication should reflect His design.
    • When chaos arises, pause, align with Scripture, and pursue orderly practices that uplift one another.
    • Use creation as a faith-revealing reflection: order points to a purposeful Creator and a purposeful marriage.

    24 Marriage Devotional: Building a Godly Marriage: Husband, Wife, and One Flesh in Christ Apr 01, 2026
    Show notes

    In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, we dive into the critical role of unity in marriage and how that unity extends to the body of Christ. Learn how being unified helps you use your gifts to spread the gospel and do God’s work together.

    We dive into what makes up a godly marriage and explore how the husband and wife are distinct parts that together form one body, grounded in biblical imagery from 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 5. Listen as we discuss how individuality and unity collaborate to create a thriving, covenantal relationship where we sacrificially lay down our own interests for the good of the marriage and the body of Christ.

    Key Points

    • Body metaphor for marriage: many parts, one body; each partner matters (1 Corinthians 12).
    • Individuality within unity: each spouse brings unique gifts, backgrounds, and preferences that strengthen the union.
    • One flesh: marriage is a single unit—care for each other as you care for yourself.
    • Roles in marriage: husbands as spiritual leaders and protectors; wives as supportive partners who strengthen the home and faith.
    • Daily commitment to unity: choosing to lay down personal interests for the other and for the marriage.

    Scripture References

    • 1 Corinthians 12: many parts, one body
    • Ephesians 5: husband’s love, leadership, and unity in marriage


    Practical Takeaways

    • Reflect on how our marriage functions as a team with complementary roles.
    • Identify one concrete way we can demonstrate sacrificial love today.
    • Have a short, honest check-in about “our parts” and how we can better support each other’s God-given roles.

    Show notes

    In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, we dive into the critical role of unity in marriage and how that unity extends to the body of Christ. Learn how being unified helps you use your gifts to spread the gospel and do God’s work together.

    Key Points:

    • Unity vs. isolation: why oneness is God’s design and how isolation harms marriages.
    • Signs of being disconnected and how to recognize them in your relationship.
    • Scriptural foundations: Proverbs 18:1 and 1 Peter 5:8–9 on isolation, vigilance, and spiritual warfare.
    • The power of accountability and church/community support in strengthening marriage.
    • The relationship between personal sin, shame, and isolation—and how confession and prayer lead to healing.
    • How unity in marriage empowers you to steward your gifts and advance God’s mission together.


    Practical Takeaways:

    • If you’re feeling distant from your spouse, take proactive steps to re-engage with each other and your faith community.
