In this episode, I share a deeply personal story of overcoming constant irritability and anxiety that once spilled into rage in my first marriage. I explain how asking myself simple yet life-changing questions—“How do I feel? What do I want?”—helped me meet my own needs, heal anxiety, and create space for joy, even while raising young children and managing a busy household.
I also sit down with my client Kimberly, who shares her journey of transforming her marriage by focusing on herself first. Kimberly opens up about the struggles she faced in her Christian walk and marriage, how resentment and unmet expectations impacted her home, and the step-by-step changes that helped her bring delight back to herself and her family.
We discuss:
The power of keeping your eyes on your own “paper”
Why meeting your own needs changes your marriage and family dynamic
Practical ways to integrate self-care into a busy day
How small actions create a snowball effect of positive change
Real-life examples of relational transformation, encouragement, and joy
If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or fearful that your marriage might not survive, this episode will encourage you that lasting change is possible when you take intentional, simple steps toward self-care, delight, and faith-driven action.

What does “Be still and know” have to do with having an amazing marriage?
As it turns out—everything.
When we pause to lean on God and know Him intimately, He fulfills us in ways that free our marriages. The pressure comes off our husbands, and instead of straining under expectations, we can simply enjoy each other again.
In today’s episode, I share some of the beautiful insights women in our community offered on this question. Then I sit down with my guest, Crystal, whose story will inspire you. She’s a wife who took her marriage from the brink of unnecessary divorce back to a place of joy, connection, and teamwork—simply by practicing the skills and walking them out with her whole heart.
Crystal shares:
How infertility, IVF, and a premature birth put incredible strain on her marriage.
What happened when counseling wasn’t enough—and how she discovered a different way forward.
The simple decision she made that completely shifted the atmosphere in her home.
Why putting aside pride (and dropping nagging!) opened the door to deeper intimacy and trust.
How her husband now initiates connection, date nights, and teamwork in ways she once longed for.
Her story is a powerful reminder that when one wife chooses to live from strength and dignity, everything can change.
If you’re longing to see God heal and strengthen your marriage, I invite you to join us inside Strength & Dignity—my 6-month group coaching program where you’ll learn how to walk in peace, grow in intimacy with God, and show up in a way that transforms your marriage.
Sometimes the strongest thing you can say in your marriage is “I can’t.”
Not as an excuse. Not as a cop-out. But as an act of vulnerability—the kind that softens your heart, invites connection, and actually strengthens intimacy.
In this episode of the Easy Biblical Marriage Podcast, I share:
Why “I can’t” is more powerful than ultimatums or control tactics
Real examples of how I used this phrase in marriage, from house buying to finances
How to recognize resentment early and use vulnerability to reset before it explodes
Why true intimacy only grows to the degree you allow yourself to be vulnerable
We’ll also celebrate some of the fun and creative ideas women in our community came up with during our “daily fun challenge.” (Think: goofy dances with kids, candlelight reading, and even attending coaching calls from the truck in the driveway!)
If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, burnout, or resentment in your marriage, this conversation will give you a fresh, biblical perspective—and a simple phrase you can start using today.

Welcome back to the Easy Biblical Marriage Podcast! Today we’re wrapping up the Heart Garden series, a journey we’ve been on since August 26th about how Jesus heals you and your marriage.
Here’s a quick recap of where we’ve been:
Aug 26: How Jesus heals you in your marriage
Sept 2: Meeting Jesus in the garden of your heart
Sept 9: From shame to double portion – God’s inheritance for your family
Sept 16: Stones made soft – how Jesus makes your heart tender again
Sept 23: Roots and strongholds – discovering your true identity
Sept 30: Pests – deliverance as a gentle, normal part of Christian life
And now in today’s episode, we’re talking about staying free—how to maintain this beautiful garden of your heart and continue walking in freedom with Jesus.
Why staying free requires cultivation, not coasting
How to rewire your mind through declaring God’s truth daily (Romans 12:2)
Practical ways to guard your words and refuse to partner with lies
How repentance and forgiveness keep freedom fresh and flowing
What to do when old wounds resurface—seeing them as invitations to deeper healing
Why intimacy with Jesus, not a “quick fix,” is the real goal of healing
Scriptures mentioned
Romans 12:2 – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
Psalm 19:14 – May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing
Ephesians 6 – Put on the full armor of God
Song of Songs 4:16 – Breathe on my garden with your Spirit
Psalm 46:10 – Be still and know that I am God
Freedom is not a one-time event—it’s a daily walk with your Healer. Keep pressing in, declaring truth, and meeting with Jesus in the cool of the day. As your heart heals, your relationships will transform, not because others necessarily change overnight, but because you are being changed from the inside out.

Deliverance can sound spooky. The media makes it seem dramatic and scary—but what if it was never meant to be that way?
In this episode of the Easy Biblical Marriage Podcast, Lucy Martin continues the Freedom Toolkit series by unpacking deliverance in a clear, calm, and gospel-centered way. Rather than a spectacle, deliverance is the natural outworking of Jesus’ authority in the life of every believer.
You’ll learn:
🌱 Why deliverance is not about theatrics, spiritual “talent shows,” or special people with special powers.
🌱 How repentance and forgiveness close the enemy’s access and naturally make room for freedom.
🌱 The biblical picture of “little by little” freedom and why God cares about sustainability and relationship in this process.
🌱 What “open doors” mean, how they happen (often innocently), and how Jesus resets the boundary lines.
🌱 Why freedom always multiplies in community and restores your capacity for intimacy with God and your marriage.
Freedom is not about fear—it’s about sonship and daughterhood. Deliverance isn’t the point. Jesus is. And when He takes center stage, freedom unfolds gently and securely, step by step.
If you’ve ever been intimidated or confused about this topic, this conversation will bring you peace, clarity, and encouragement for your own journey toward wholeness.

Have you ever noticed how quickly a single lie can grow into a stronghold in your heart—shaping how you see yourself, your marriage, and even your walk with God? In today’s episode, I share a life-changing process for tearing down lies and rebuilding on God’s truth.
I’ll walk you through a powerful metaphor using Jenga blocks, the reflecting pool of identity, and even the roots of a tree. You’ll learn how false identities form, how the enemy keeps us bound with lies, and how Jesus gives us a new identity that sets us free. This is the foundation of a strong marriage—because the fruit in your relationships always comes from the roots of what you believe about yourself.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why “white-knuckling” behavior change never works (and what does)
The difference between perceived identity, portrayed identity, and your true identity in Christ
How lies create strongholds—and how to replace them with God’s truth
Why asking “Has Jesus ever said this about me?” changes everything
Practical ways to fill the space left by lies with the Holy Spirit and God’s Word
How to recognize the difference between the enemy’s condemning voice and Jesus’ gentle, life-giving voice
Scriptures Mentioned:
Proverbs 23:7 — “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
Proverbs 27:19 — “As a face is reflected in the water, so the heart reflects the real person.”
Matthew 7 — Building on the rock vs. the sand

Episode Summary
Waiting on God to “restore the years the locust has eaten” (Joel 2:25) doesn’t mean waiting passively. In this episode, Lucy introduces The Joy Connection—a simple, relational tool to engage your brain’s relational circuits so you can meet Jesus in specific memories, receive His perspective, and experience the Great Exchange: giving Him pain and receiving His healing. You’ll hear a personal testimony, a step-by-step practice you can try today, and scriptures that anchor this gentle, orderly process of heart healing.
In This Episode You’ll Learn
Why restoration is relational, not passive—and how to “bring yourself fully to the table.”
What The Joy Connection is and how it turns on your relational circuits so you can connect with God and people.
How Jesus meets you in positive and painful memories to give heavenly perspective and real relief.
The “stones” metaphor in your heart garden: how unprocessed pain blocks connection until it’s healed.
The Great Exchange: trading pain, shame, and self-protection for tenderness, peace, and closeness with God.
The “life loop” vs. victim mentality from Romans 11:36—living from Him, through Him, and back to Him.
Scriptures Mentioned
Joel 2:25 — God restores the years the locust has eaten.
Ezekiel 36:26 — He replaces a stony, stubborn heart with a tender, responsive one.
Psalm 142 — David pours out his complaints honestly before God.
Romans 11:36 — “From Him, through Him, and to Him are all things.”
Song of Songs — God’s jealous desire for closeness.
Isaiah 57:18–19 (TPT) — He heals, guides, comforts, gives praise and peace, heals deepest wounds.
Psalm 147:3 (TPT) — He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
Psalm 18:19 (TPT) — He brings you into a spacious place because He delights in you.
Frameworks & Metaphors
Heart Gardening & Stones: Untended gardens collect rocks; unprocessed pain becomes “stones” that block connection.
The Joy Connection: A practice to engage your relational circuits so you can see, hear, and sense Jesus in memory.
The Great Exchange: You give Jesus pain; He gives healing, clarity, and peace—often exactly what you need now.
Life Loop (Rom 11:36): Living in the flow “from Him → through Him → to Him,” rather than cycling in victimhood.
A Personal Snapshot
Lucy shares how Jesus met her in a confusing childhood memory (age ~7) involving family estrangement. In minutes, He revealed what was impacted—innocence and childlike faith—and restored a simple, wholehearted way of coming to Him, like a child runs to her daddy.
In Strength & Dignity this week, women practiced The Joy Connection with a positive memory—and many wept as Jesus met them personally and tenderly.

Episode Summary
What if the patterns in your family line didn’t have to be your story? In this episode, we dive into the biblical foundation for breaking generational curses, the reality of familiar spirits, and the authority believers have in Christ to start a blessing cycle for their families. You’ll hear testimonies, practical steps, and prophetic insight on reclaiming your “pearls” — your marriage, children, and legacy — as your first ministry.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The difference between generational blessings and generational curses (Exodus 34:7–9)
Why repentance and forgiveness must go deeper than quick prayers (Isaiah 53:5, 1 John 1:9)
How familiar spirits operate and what open doors give them legal access
Practical steps to break generational sin patterns and claim God’s blessing
Bill Johnson’s teaching on spiritual inheritance and leaving a legacy
The stronghold of shame, fear, and control that began in Genesis 3 and how Christ has broken it
The prophetic charge to reclaim your “pearls” (Matthew 13:44–45) by prioritizing family and guarding what matters most
Key Scriptures Referenced:
Isaiah 53:5
Exodus 34:7–9
Leviticus 26:40–42 (MSG)
Ezra 9, Nehemiah 9, Daniel 9
1 John 1:9
Psalm 103:2–4
Isaiah 61:7
John 14:30
Luke 10:19
Matthew 13:44–45
Takeaway Thought
Generational tendencies and familiar spirits are real, but they do not have the final word. Through repentance, forgiveness, and agreement with God’s truth, you can close doors to the enemy, break destructive cycles, and release blessing for a thousand generations.
Next Step
Ask the Lord: “What tendencies are active in my family line, and what blessing do You want me to claim instead?” Then walk through the simple prayer steps we discuss in this episode.
If you want guided support in this kind of inner healing and generational work, I invite you to reach out to me at hello@easybiblicalmarriage.com to claim your free consult. We will talk about Deep to Deep, my private coaching program, and Strength & Dignity, my group program where we practice these steps together in a safe, faith-filled community.

Engaging The Word With Imagination Sermon
In today’s episode, Lucy shares how true healing happens—and why relationships are God’s favorite classroom.
Drawing on her work as a licensed counselor and soul-care mentor, she lays out a Jesus-centered blueprint: Jesus heals the deep places, and we choose—moment by moment—to agree with what He’s done and walk it out, especially at home.
You’ll hear a powerful story about breaking a shame spiral through blessing, a live coaching example of saying YES to marriage and NO to sin, and a clarifying look at two very different kinds of suffering. If you’re hungry for freedom and the interpersonal skills to carry it, this one’s for you.
Highlights:
Why relationships “bump our coffee cups” and reveal how healed we really are
The fastest path to change: Jesus heals; we stay free by agreeing with His truth
When accountability feeds shame vs. when blessing calls out destiny
Coaching case study: honoring your husband while refusing sin
Two kinds of suffering: partnering with God vs. resisting Him
Why a container (six months) helps you stabilize freedom and make new reactions your default
Coaching in action:
When pressured to participate in sin, here’s a Jesus-honoring script Lucy coached a client to discern for herself:
“Here’s this vulnerability.”
“I want to stay married.”
“I want to honor, respect you, and love you well.”
“I believe that I can.”
“I want a marriage focused on just us.”
“I want to be treated well—spoken to with kindness.”
Scripture to meditate on: 1 Peter 2:8 — Jesus, “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”
(Consider how choosing Him in suffering forms an unbreakable bond.)
Agreement practice: Ask, “Lord, what truth did You speak over me that I need to agree with today?” Write it on a card. When old patterns tug, speak that truth out loud.
Blessing over shame: Instead of telling him to “get it together,” speak the identity and future God sees—then pray it privately and consistently. Watch what shifts.

Gratitude – God’s Secret Weapon for Marriage
What if gratitude could change the atmosphere in your marriage?
In today’s episode, I’m unpacking how gratitude is more than a nice thought — it’s a spiritual weapon. We’ll connect practical skills with biblical truth to discover how thankfulness can literally transform your marriage from the inside out.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
How specific gratitude skills invite more of what you want from your husband.
Why the Bible calls us to “give thanks in all circumstances” — and how that changes your heart and home.
Gratitude as a powerful weapon that bypasses negative emotions and positions you for breakthrough.
Simple ways to reframe frustrations and see your husband through God’s eyes.

Key Verse: “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” – Psalm 107:2
Have you ever had a powerful moment of healing or clarity… only to feel it slip away a few weeks later? You might have uncovered a truth about who you are, but without sealing it, the old lies start whispering again.
In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the journey from believing lies about your identity to walking in the truth God has spoken over you. You’ll learn:
How the enemy uses subtle lies to keep you living smaller than God intended.
Why healing that stays hidden becomes heaviness again.
The biblical process of sealing your new identity so you can carry it with confidence.
Practical steps to make your transformation stick—so it’s not just a moment, but a lifestyle.

If you've ever found yourself carrying the mental load in your marriage, trying to be the emotional thermostat for the whole household, or managing your husband’s moods so everyone can stay okay… this episode is for you.
In this vulnerable and practical conversation, I'm sharing three powerful biblical mindset shifts that will help you step out of overwhelm and into peace — without needing your husband to change first.
These are the same shifts that have helped the women in my Strength & Dignity coaching group move from burnout and control to strength, surrender, and surprising sweetness in their homes.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
🔑 In This Episode:
Why constantly "managing" your husband keeps you stuck (and exhausted)
How emotional safety for you unlocks emotional leadership in your home
The subtle ways control hides under “helpfulness” and how to stop
A powerful reframe for what it really means to “submit” (spoiler: it’s not weakness)
The shift that will help you feel pursued again, instead of invisible
This isn’t about stuffing your feelings, pretending everything’s fine, or giving up your power. This is about reclaiming your emotional strength, rooted in the Spirit, so you can live and love from a place of wisdom and rest.
If you’re resonating with these shifts and want to walk them out in real life — not just in theory — then Strength & Dignity is where you belong.
💖 If You’re Ready For More:

In today’s episode, we dive into the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13) to explore how the condition of our heart determines the fruitfulness of God’s Word in our lives. If you've ever found yourself saying, "I thought I already dealt with this," you're not alone — healing often happens in layers, and God lovingly tends to our hearts according to our spiritual maturity.
This episode features a powerful guided exercise called The Stones & The Great Exchange — designed to help you identify emotional "stones" that may be hardening your heart and to invite Jesus into those places for healing, transformation, and freedom.
A quiet, uninterrupted space
A journal and pen
(Optional) A small physical stone to represent a wound or memory
A reflection on Matthew 13:3–23, where Jesus explains how different heart conditions receive the Word
A reminder from Ezekiel 36:26 that God gives us a tender, responsive heart
A step-by-step encounter with Jesus where you:
Identify a “stone” memory or wound
Invite Him into that space
Make a symbolic exchange
Receive healing and restoration
God brings things to light not to shame us, but to set us free
Healing is rarely instant — it often unfolds in layers, in step with our spiritual maturity
We don’t need to fix our hearts — we just need to invite the Healer in
Even pain can be used by God as a catalyst for growth and deeper intimacy with Him
