81. Watch Your Mouth & Check Your Heart (marriage series #4)

This is episode #4 of our thriving marriage series - halfway there! This will be a tougher episode to digest. We all have said or yelled things to our spouse that we regret or wish we can take back. This is an area that only God can help you in. Only He can give you a softened heart and reveal to you on why you say harsh words or yell. It’s what is from the heart, so that is why we need to check our hearts! God is in the business of changing us from the inside out, so pray over your heart, to rid of the things in your heart that is drawing you away from God and your spouse, for eyes to see what is influencing you (TV, social media, people, music, & such) to treat your spouse this way & cut those off. Most of all, pray for your spouse if this is an area they struggle with too because only God can change their hearts and give them conviction, not you! We have choices to make, daily and each moment, on how we speak to our spouse as well as behind their back. When your tongue goes unchecked, people can get hurt and you may end up hurting yourself as well. The words that we speak LITERALLY speak either LIFE or DEATH over. Speaking negativity or anything else can create an atmosphere of tension in your home. This will not help you to have a thriving marriage - you just are trying to survive. You want to create a home and atmosphere of peace and gentleness and love and forgiveness - that is part of a thriving marriage! Bible Verses Mentioned: Proverbs 21:23 (NLT); Proverbs 18:21 (MSG); James 1:19 (NLT); Luke 6:45 NLT If you would like more from us, we send out our Mission-Minded newsletter every month, with huge updates from The Simple Mission & from our personal life, simple tips, faith & encouragement, & more – sign up here to get the email before next month. https://mailchi.mp/af1cb198f846/t4jxj4xgol Follow on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thesimplemission Follow David on Instagram: https://instagram.com/davidgbond Follow Lianna on Instagram: https://instagram.com/bondlianna

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
