Episode 92 | Restoration Is Possible

About this episode

Alexis and Abby discuss the challenges and experiences of marriage restoration through faith.

In this episode, Alexis and Abby get raw and real about one of the most requested topics yet, marriage restoration. From unequally yoked seasons and two years of fighting for a husband who didn't know Christ, to divorce, darkness and starting over, they hold nothing back. Abby shares what it actually looked like to stay in a broken marriage while running hard after God, including the bathroom floor prayers, the moments she almost filed for divorce, and the one song that gave her peace when nothing made sense. Alexis opens up about how her first marriage never had a chance without Christ at the center, and how God was quietly building something better all along through her 12 step journey, her prayers for a husband she hadn't even met yet, and the sanctification season that came with new love. They also talk about what the Bible actually says about staying in a marriage with an unbelieving spouse, how the tongue can either tear down or restore, the "grandma and grandpa bench seat" analogy that perfectly describes how couples drift apart, and why you will keep failing the same test until you finally pass it.
