About this episode

The episode discusses the difference between genuine spiritual growth in marriage and merely enforcing good behavior.

Is your marriage bearing genuine spiritual fruit, or are you simply stapling "good behavior" onto a dying tree? Today we dive deep into the "engine" of a Christian union. We explore the critical difference between moralizing—trying to force change through sheer will—and living a life truly indwelled by the Holy Spirit.
