Summary
Breaking Stubborn Strongholds in Marriage
In Season 2, Episode 2 of The Established Family Podcast, we tackle the topic of breaking the strongholds that affect every aspect of our lives—from our own minds and marriages to our families and future generations. This episode unpacks how false authority and entrenched spiritual deceptions create these fortresses and why many fail to recognize the need for active participation in dismantling them.
Drawing on powerful biblical passages (such as Psalm 18:2, Psalm 27:1, 2 Samuel 22:2-3, and 2 Corinthians 10:4) and the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 12:29, we explore:
- How to distinguish between the symptoms of sin and the underlying stronghold.
- Practical steps for walking in truth, repentance, obedience, and spiritual maturity.
- The importance of aligning with God—the true stronghold—to overcome every obstacle.
Whether you’re facing recurring challenges in your marriage or seeking deeper spiritual renewal, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement to break free and experience lasting restoration.

| 0:00.0 | What is going on, everybody? Derek Pousa here with my wife, Jordan, for the second episode of |
| 0:04.7 | Season 2 of the Established Family Podcast. We are already so grateful just for the feedback. |
| 0:10.8 | I mean, y'all are so transparent and vulnerable in the process. We're getting people saying |
| 0:14.9 | that this is great teaching. We're getting people saying that they're having tears literally |
| 0:20.0 | flowing down their face as they're |
| 0:21.9 | driving as they're at work in moments where God is really encountering you. And one of the things that |
| 0:27.6 | we believe is it's not because our teaching is so great. It's not because we are in a high position |
| 0:33.9 | of authority or office. It's because you as a son or a daughter already had your heart |
| 0:39.1 | turned towards the Lord. So it wouldn't have mattered if the message he was trying to confirm |
| 0:44.1 | was reflected through us or any other voice, face, or person of significance inside of your life. |
| 0:50.7 | We are just thankful to be one of many chosen instruments to breathe life into marriages |
| 0:56.1 | and what God is doing into the family unit for such a time as this. So today, I want my wife to |
| 1:02.3 | say hi really quick, but let me give you the topic, which is today we're going to be talking through |
| 1:06.5 | breaking stubborn strongholds inside of marriage because there's a lot of confusion around this topic in general. |
| 1:12.8 | And we want you to be able to walk from this podcast today with the tools and |
| 1:17.1 | equipping to heal, grow, restore whatever stage of marriage you're in, |
| 1:21.5 | to do that next thing that God is asking you to do. |
| 1:24.9 | It says in the word that we make our plans, |
| 1:27.2 | but the Lord directs our |
| 1:28.3 | steps, and we believe that this is a divine encounter for the next step that he's going to direct |
| 1:33.2 | for you and your marriage. All right. Well, I am excited to be here, episode two of this new season. |
