Summary
What if I told you that you have influence? That you don't need to have a podcast or a church or a book or a social media following. That right now, in this moment, you have the power to influence the lives of others, especially your spouse.
Every day we have the power to influence the life of our spouse. We have the power to show them who they are in Christ by loving them the way Jesus loves them. When we make their day great just by the tiny interactions we have with them throughout the day, we are influencing them in a dramatic way. It is affecting their life and their potential to follow Jesus more closely!
Or we can discourage them. We can complain and criticize and tear them down- even if we don't mean to. We have the power to completely make or break our spouses' day because of the relationship we have with them. If we're so focused on ourselves and our own needs not being met, we are negatively influencing them and likely pushing them away from Jesus on that day, week, year and eventually... their life.
Our spouse is our first assignment. They are our highest place of influence.
Do not waste your influence.
In this episode, we are talking about what it really means to have influence and how to use that influence (including some practicals in how to communicate the points you want to get across). We hope it shines a light on places and encourages you to recognize your power and use it for good.
Love,
Belah & Team

| 0:35.6 | And I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to speak into your life. The way I really |
| 0:40.3 | come at marriage, the purpose, the reason I do this work is because I deeply believe that the |
| 0:47.1 | greatest impact you can have in any person's life in your entire existence, from when you're born to when |
| 0:57.7 | you die, the greatest impact you can have is in your spouse, your intimate partner. |
| 1:04.1 | And after that, your children. |
| 1:07.2 | It's just true. |
| 1:09.6 | We're going to get into that today um but the other question is in what ways do you |
| 1:20.9 | influence how do you influence and how should you sometimes we're completely unaware of how we are influencing. And so I want to give you |
| 1:32.1 | some ideas, advice, insights on how to influence in the way you actually want to be influencing. |
| 1:39.9 | Because a lot of times people are influencing and they're completely unaware of the amount of influence they have. |
| 1:45.0 | So both of those are my point today. |
| 1:47.6 | Before we dive in, we'd love to give you something called the Marital Health Assessment. |
| 1:53.9 | And it is a tool to show where you are today in terms of marital health in the four most important areas we believe at |
| 2:04.0 | Delight Your Marriage, to just give you a sense of where you are now and where you need to |
| 2:10.1 | grow. What's possible? So, you know, I don't want you to get obsessed the score that's ultimately generated, but what it does is just kind of have a starting place because the strategy to get from a level four average in these four important areas to a level five is going to be different than somebody who's a seven to an eight. So it's just important to kind of find out |
