The Marriage Game Plan You Didn’t Know You Needed
About this episode
Most couples think they have a game plan for marriage… until life exposes that they actually don’t. NFL chaplains George & Tondra Gregory join Brad to reveal why doing nothing is still a “game plan” (even though it's a terrible one) and how intentional, Christ-centered strategy can completely transform your relationship.
If your marriage feels “fine but not beautiful,” this conversation gives you the practical steps (and spiritual framework) to change that.

📖 Matthew 16:25 - For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
📖 Matthew 7:3–5 - Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
