Is your marriage on spiritual autopilot? It’s easy to build a life out of "good" rhythms—the way you say goodbye, the way you pray before meals, or the way you attend church every Sunday. But sometimes, the liturgy of our marriage becomes a mask for a lack of intimacy. In this episode, Nathan and Andrea Warnock dive into "The Liturgy Trap," exploring the dangerous gap between going through the motions and truly connecting with your spouse’s heart.

Would you trade your future for a bowl of soup? 🥣 It sounds crazy, but in our latest episode, we look at the story of Esau and Jacob to uncover a startling truth about modern marriage. We often trade the "birthright" of a deep, lifelong covenant for the "lentil soup" of temporary comfort, instant gratification, or winning an argument.
