Summary
The Church is failing marriages...but marriages are also failing the Church.We’ve watched believers show up for service, serve faithfully, tithe consistently and still live in bondage. Why?Because the modern church looks alive, but carries no authority.And marriages keep feeding that same system with unhealed hearts, unbroken pride, and unrepentant patterns.In this episode, Derek breaks down what Jesus actually came to build.He didn’t say, “I’ll build My synagogue.”He said, “I’ll build My ekklesia.”The ekklesia isn’t a building.It’s a governing body of called-out ones, sons and daughters walking in covenant, carrying authority, and legislating heaven’s rule on earth.We expose why so many churches today are spiritually dead:— They avoid deliverance.— They lack discipleship.— They place people in leadership without accountability.— They hide behind programs and personality tests instead of repentance and transformation.But we also confront how marriages have failed the Church, by bringing unclean, undelivered, divided temples into the house of God and expecting revival to come from a place we refuse to purify.This is a call to return.To understand what it means to be the Bride.Because God isn’t just healing your marriage…He’s healing His ekklesia through your marriage.

| 0:00.0 | What is going on to Established Family? Welcome back to another episode of the Established |
| 0:04.4 | Family Podcast. I really do believe that this is going to be a message that not only resets |
| 0:10.0 | our understanding of family and church, or marriage and church, rather, but it also delivers |
| 0:16.0 | people from the spirit of falsehood that rests over what it is that God is trying to restore |
| 0:22.7 | inside of his bride, inside of his body, you being a part of that, but extended into the |
| 0:28.6 | missional assignment of his bride, his church. And if God is going to restore our marriages, |
| 0:34.7 | if God is going to restore our families, we need to know what mission |
| 0:38.7 | and what assignment we are a part of. And not from a place of deception, not from a place of |
| 0:44.2 | intellect, not from a place of self-righteousness, or how my, meaning the proverbial my, speaking as |
| 0:52.3 | you as well, my gifts are used, how how i'm positioned but rather how god is going |
| 0:58.1 | to use my marriage and my unique testimony as a chosen instrument of his resurrection power |
| 1:04.4 | across the earth so if you understand and have a revelation of his bride you have a revelation of what you are to reflect as a |
| 1:13.6 | reflection of the covenant that he has with his bride. And so Holy Spirit, as we have these conversations, |
| 1:20.5 | Lord, I trust you that you take all high and lofty things and you simplify them down to the things |
| 1:26.4 | that we need to know and understand and |
| 1:29.0 | walk in with wisdom while we are here on earth. Lord, may we be called out and assemble and gather |
| 1:35.7 | as the body, as the bride, and establish and legislate the things that you have called us to do, |
| 1:42.7 | not only in our homes, but overflowing from our homes |
| 1:45.8 | and through our homes and marriages into your body and out into the world for the sake of salvation, |
| 1:51.4 | for the sake of making disciples. So I pray that you give us a revelation. I pray that you |
| 1:55.5 | anoint this teaching and soften the hearts and open the eyes and the ears of those who are |
| 2:00.1 | listening and watching today. In the name of those who are listening and watching today |
