When Desire Meets Disappointment in Your Marriage
Every couple knows the moment when what they hoped for and what they got don’t match. In this episode, Christa explores what happens when desire meets disappointment, why disappointment isn’t proof that we wanted too much, and the two common ways couples react: protesting louder or going inward and pretending to want less. We also look at how each of the three desires, self-preservation, spark, and social, shapes where we feel let down, and we offer a simple practice for naming the longing underneath so your spouse has something to move toward instead of something to defend against.

Spiritual Intimacy for Real Couples
Spiritual connection is one of the most longed-for and least talked-about parts of marriage, and for many couples it can feel surprisingly awkward. In this episode, Christa shares candidly about how deep spiritual intimacy can be uncomfortable, why it still matters so much, and how the roles have shifted in her own marriage and family across seasons. With Halloween approaching and a focus on bringing light into darkness, this conversation offers practical, gentle ways to more naturally connect spiritually and/or authentically pray together without overwhelming each other, as well as how to resist the pull toward spiritual manipulation, and why lament belongs in a couple’s prayer life too.

In this bonus Spooky Season Special, Christa sets aside the scary movies and turns to a classic that brings warmth to a dark time of year, typing some of her absolute favorite characters in the Austen Sense and Sensibility. From Marianne’s romantic intensity and Elinor’s restraint to Willoughby’s image-driven facade, Mrs. Jennings’s lively generosity, and Colonel Brandon's quiet depths, we'll have fun walking through typing fun.

An E + M Mini: The Three Instincts and Your Faith
In this mini episode, Christa walks through the three instincts as three distinct invitations into a more vibrant, grounded faith. The self-preservation instinct calls us to truly rest in Christ, to replenish and receive rather than strive. The sexual instinct, our spark of creative aliveness, invites us to activate our faith and let it make life feel vivid and awake again. The social instinct draws us toward helping and serving others, reminding us there are many ways to give and belong. Each instinct challenges us differently as we reach beyond ourselves, while also giving us permission to rest, connect, and be renewed. This conversation will help you notice where you may need to shift so you can live from your healthiest place. Listen here! Watch on YouTube!

Burnout in Ministry Marriages and the Way Back w/Monika Kirkland (Type 1/4)
This week, Christa welcomes Monika Kirkland (Type 1/4)m a Christian writer, host of the Inner Revival podcast, and a wife and mom of four. She and her husband, a worship pastor and her high school sweetheart, have served in ministry together for over a decade, her new book, Ever With You: Becoming Fully Awake to the God Who Is Near, was born out of a season when she was running on caffeine and cortisol until anxiety-induced vertigo stopped her in her tracks. Christa and Monika talk about what burnout does to a marriage when both partners are pouring out and neither is being filled, and how Monika found the rest she was desperate for - in intimacy with God. They also explore why stillness can feel so uncomfortable when the first voice we hear is the inner critic, and how each Enneagram type tends to look for rest in its own familiar substitutes. If you’re feeling depleted in your marriage, your ministry, or your walk with God, this episode is a gentle invitation back. Listen here! https://youtu.be/mNBach9QOQshttps://youtu.be/mNBach9QOQs!

Take some time to pause, breathe, and join us in a collective prayer time as we place a hand on our hearts, release stress, and embrace the light and love of God.
