Summary

Today on the Marriage After God podcast, we explore the truth that Christ alone deserves the throne in our lives. The conversation challenges all of us to lay down anything we’ve elevated above Him and to find our worth, value, and identity solely in who He is. When we honor Christ as our ultimate authority, we experience the fullness, purpose, and freedom found only in Him.

In this episode–

  • Christ does not want to share any throne in your life.
  • We are called to seek our worthiness and value in Christ alone.
  • All honor and glory belong to Christ and Christ only.
  • Placing anything above Jesus diminishes His rightful authority.
  • True value is found in a relationship with Him.
  • Christ deserves our full devotion and undivided heart.
  • Searching for worth outside of Him always leads to emptiness.

Hey, marriage after God, friends. Thank you for your continued faithfulness in listening each and every week. Jennifer and I have often shared with you about how important prayer is in the life of a believer. It's so important, in fact, that we're told this in First Thessalonians. Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God and Christ Jesus for you. It is God's will for us to pray. And we want to inspire you to begin praying for your spouse and marriage every day. This world hates marriage, and so does our enemy, because he knows the power that your marriage is meant to have in this world. He knows that if you and your spouse are praying and chasing boldly after God together, that the impact Christ will have in and through you will be powerful. So we need to be praying more than ever before.
