Summary
What if the chaos in your life and marriage isn’t random, but the result of living out of sync with God’s divine order? In this powerful episode, Dr. Kim welcomes pastor, author, and Bible teacher Manny Arango to the show for the first time. Drawing from his book Crushing Chaos, Manny shares how God brings peace by establishing order and how that same truth can transform our marriages. From understanding “Sequence, Authority, Rhythm” to identifying the chaos we invite into our homes, this conversation is full of practical wisdom and biblical depth. Whether you're navigating stress, disconnection, or just longing for more peace at home, this episode will help you move toward order, unity, and rest.

God is an expert at not just blessing people with peace, but giving people order.
We can’t make lasting decisions in our marriage based on a temporary rhythm.
