So I think we wouldn't admit to believing lies in our marriage, but if we look at how we function and maybe some of the hard tension field moments,

they are undoubtedly rooted with some lies that we're believing either about marriage, about our spouse, about our expectations and what expectations we should have.

So today we're going to talk about a few of those lies that we might be functioning under and then what truths come with those and how truth really does reign and how it is powerful enough to not only dispel those lies but really illuminate how we should live in light of knowing the truth.

Alright, with that said, we'll see you on the other side.

Welcome to the fierce marriage podcast where we believe that marriage takes the fierce tenacity that never gives up and refuses to give in.

Here we'll share openly and honestly about all things marriage, sex, communication, financing, priorities, purpose, and everything in between.

Laugh, ponder, and join in on candid gospel-centered conversations.

This is fierce marriage.

If we look at scripture, even this idea of buying a lie goes all the way back to Genesis 3, right?

In the beginning, in the beginning.

Genesis 3, you know, in the fall, right?

We never Eve believed the lies and Adam complicitly believed the lies.

He is not innocent and we are not innocent in believing those lies in terms of just the gospel.

In any time we talk about faith with each other, you know, we profess, you know, Jesus as our Lord and Savior and we have salvation but sanctification takes time.

It takes the rest of our lives. That's the other part of the gospel is that we're not just perfect all of a sudden.

We're perfect positionally but we're not perfect like here and now in terms of our ability to live out because we still are living flesh and spirit like there's that.

So there's always, we have to continually remind each other of these truths that we have as a birthright in the gospel, born again people who are co-airs with Christ.

We have these truths that are now ours but there's what we call enemy outposts in our hearts.

Little areas that we're allowing the gospel to not reign. We're allowing lies to reign in those areas.

So anyway, we've got a list of lies that we find common in our own marriage and we found other couples struggle with as well.

So we'll talk about those today. It's going to be a good conversation.

But first, the housekeeping as usual. Thank you so much for those who have rated.
