In this episode, we tackle a critical topic that could be secretly unraveling your marriage: chaos.

Does your marriage feel like it's caught in a cycle of constant turmoil?

You may be dealing with more than just conflict—you may be addicted to chaos. Today, we're exposing the traps that keep couples stuck in dysfunction and offering a path to freedom.

We’ll take a deep dive into what I call the "Five Faces of Chaos," showing how these forces manifest in your marriage and how they block your relationship from flourishing. Based on James 3:13-18 and other biblical insights, we’ll explore:

  1. Shame – How chaos births shame, damaging trust and identity.
  2. Vengeance – The aftermath of chaos leading to a destructive cycle of retaliation.
  3. Destruction – Chaos surrounds, corrodes, and leaves nothing but ruin in its wake.
  4. Falsehood – Lies and deception grow out of chaos, creating relational instability.
  5. Pride – Pride invites chaos by rejecting humility and reconciliation.

It’s easy to get trapped in the symptoms of chaos without realizing what’s truly going on.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Constant emotional and physical disconnection from your spouse
  • Ongoing resentment and unresolved conflicts
  • Living in a state of isolation from community and Godly support
  • Using manipulation or passive-aggressive behavior to control outcomes
  • Feeling like revenge or punishment is the only way to balance the scales

These patterns may look like a dysfunctional relationship on the surface, but they stem from deeper spiritual roots.

As Galatians 5:19-21 tells us, these are the "deeds of the flesh" that open the door to demonic influence and chaos in our marriages.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How to identify the chaos at work in your marriage
  • Why false peace often masks deeper chaos and destruction
  • The biblical steps to reclaim God’s design for peace in your relationship
  • How to break free from the addiction to dysfunction and chaos
  • Tools to restore trust and heal from emotional damage


Additional Key Verses:
James 3:16 (AMP) - “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing and morally degrading practice.”


Proverbs 14:12 - "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it leads to death."


Isaiah 26:3 - "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you."

Breaking the Chains of Chaos:

Marriage is meant to reflect God’s peace and covenant, but many couples unknowingly live in cycles of dysfunction that keep them from experiencing true joy and freedom. Whether you’re facing emotional abandonment, betrayal, or the fallout of unresolved conflicts, this episode will equip you with biblical truths to overcome chaos and step into God’s design for your marriage.
