Real Marriage with Mark & Grace Driscoll: Recent Episodes
XO Podcast Network, Mark Driscoll, Grace Driscoll
Our story is not perfect. Our marriage is not perfect. Our five kids are not perfect. Our decades of ministry together are not perfect. Thankfully, our God is perfect, and He does perfect work through imperfect people. We like to help real people learn to really laugh, learn, and love. With Pastor Mark and Grace, it’s all about Jesus! They've been married and doing ministry together for over twenty-five years. They launched Real Faith with Bible teaching for men, women, pastors, leaders, Spanish speakers, and more and planted The Trinity Church with their five kids in Scottsdale, Arizona. Together they have authored Real Marriage and Win Your War and Pastor Mark has authored many other books, including Spirit-Filled Jesus, Who Do You Think You Are?, Vintage Jesus, and Doctrine.
Pastor Mark and Grace share one thing that may seem like it's not a big deal, but has disastrous consequences for a Christian marriage.

Season 8: Win Your Marriage War
God created sex. God’s intent for your marriage is that you would become one flesh. Sex is not just loving with the body but loving your spouse with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Connecting at the heart and soul is deeper than connecting at the body.
Jesus said, “Love your neighbor.” So, who’s your neighbor? Martin Luther said, “Your spouse is your nearest and dearest neighbor.” Learn how to love your spouse with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

Season 8: Win Your Marriage War
Jesus brought the culture of Heaven down to us, forgiveness. If you want Heaven in your marriage, start forgiving one another and others. Mark talks about his own battle with unforgiveness in their marriage. When you don’t forgive you put yourself in the place of God. The deeper you forgive the greater the anointing you receive.

Season 7: What We Learned from 2020 Where do we go from here? As things start opening up, it can be tempting to jump in and start trying to make up for everything we “missed” in 2020. Planning trips, going out to eat, kid's sports, entertainment, full work schedules, etc. It's easy to get right back to being overloaded, rushing past the good that came from 2020.

Season 7: What We Learned from 2020 When life is normal you don’t really know who the wise, foolish, or evil people are around you but 2020 helped us to see more clearly. Some people made foolish self-destructive decisions or just checked out during the 2020 pandemic. Other people made wise decisions and allowed God to use that opportunity to grow closer to their spouse and serve others. Let’s take the time to look back and find the friends and family we need to move closer to and maybe those we need to set a boundary with. Links/Offers mentioned in this episode:

Season 7: What We Learned from 2020 Some places are starting to get back to "normal". What is normal? Is that really where we as believers want to be? Normal in our world right now isn’t very good and isn’t healthy. Let’s do better than getting back to normal, let’s move forward to healthy. In whatever you’ve been through in 2020 there are significant lessons that God has for you to learn from and not just “return to normal”. Mark & Grace share the lessons they learned from Covid-19 and 2020 and how to move forward to healthy. Links/Offers mentioned in this episode:

We’re taking everything we learned in the past 3 episodes about evil, foolish, and wise people and talking practically about how to have healthy relationships. When it comes to relationships between two people, there are six kinds of relationships they can potentially have. Therefore, understanding each category and seeking to be wise in all relationships is crucial for a healthy life. In marriage, we’re often trying to figure out who's going to win instead of who's going to be wise. For the health of your marriage we want to pivot your focus to, what would wisdom dictate? What would be the wise thing to do, to learn, to say, or to change? How do we both pursue wisdom together? 21 Day Journey XO Now Courses - What if you could change your life in just 3 weeks?

If we’re honest there’s a little bit of foolishness or an area of foolishness in all of us. The “want to” precedes the “how to”. You have to want help before you can actually get help.

Love Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Ruth left her way of life and surrendered to God’s Love. His never-stopping, never giving up, un-breaking, always, and forever covenant love. We can’t truly love our spouse unless we know the love of God. God’s covenant love prepares us for the covenant love of marriage. We love because He first loved us. So many of us are striving when we should be surrendering to His love. God gave Ruth a new identity and from her family line came King David and Jesus. We are all broken people but God can do anything through anyone. Look at the change one broken person can make in a family by walking with God faithfully and humbly. Your relationship with Jesus is the most important relationship. It will transform you to have a beautiful covenant relationship with your spouse.

Love Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Prayer is a big part of the story of Ruth. There’s a prayer in each of the four chapters of Ruth. Praying together as a married couple creates a deeper emotional bond than even sex. If you’re married do both but to a wife praying together is the safest place in the world. How can everything go from death to life like in the story of Ruth? What holds a marriage together? How do we hear from God? Prayer. To the husband just start, it’s okay if you don’t know how. Start by saying, what are some things I can pray for you about today? Create a habit of prayer with each other. Put it in the plan. Ask each other, who or what can I be praying for you about?

Love Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Ruth and Boaz came from two very different families. As we enter into the holiday season, the issue of extended family can cause tension and stress. How do we deal with extended family? How can we navigate different family dynamics? When the Bible says, “Leave your father and mother”, it means you leave that family to start a new family. If you don’t do this you end up with one big dysfunctional family rather than a bunch of connected but individual families.

Love Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Why do we ever doubt God? God is in control even though it doesn’t look like it. Sometimes God works through miracles but we see in the book of Ruth how He works through his invisible hand of providence. We share in this episode how we have seen God’s hand working in our whole lives but especially in these last few years. This podcast came through God’s providence. In our marriages, somebody needs to be in control. If the husband or wife is in control it’s going to be a disaster but if the husband and wife trust that God is in control it can be beautiful. We need to see HIm as a father (as Jesus did). A father is in charge (sovereign) and he should also be good and for you. God is good and sovereign and your marriage should be a testimony of who He is. What if you could change your life in just 3 weeks?
