I am unashamed. What about you?

Welcome back to Unashame. We were into a, I think a really heavy good discussion in our last podcast about this idea of relationship

with God and what it takes to maintain that.

And I was thinking Zach you and I had had a conversation recently.

We're talking about marriage, because, you know,

any time you're involved in ministry,

you're always involved in people's marriages,

as well as your own is always a challenge and we had Missy on the podcast recently

and Jill as well Lisa is going to be on hopefully the next podcast as well we'll get a little

update from her

but I was thinking when you guys were talking about the idea

of Satan's influence and our decision and how sin is the violation of wanting that relationship of God

because we want something more and I think the perfect illustration is marriage

and which is why Paul goes there in

Ephesians five is because it's the closest thing we can simulate this idea

because you make this covenant vow with this other person that you're going to spend the rest of

your life with them and so entailed in that is procreation of course having

children but also

emotional and spiritual and then the evil one does exactly to our

the evil one does exactly to our minds in a married situation as he does to us in the relationship with God.

He comes in and says there's something more, there's something better, there's something more pleasurable outside of this covenant relationship that you made, but it's a lie.

It's not true.
