Hey, beautiful souls! It's Jade here, and in today’s heartfelt episode of The Godbolt Life Podcast, "Let's Talk About S3x, Baby". Mark and I open up about our personal and transformative journey towards rediscovering the sanctity of intimacy in our marriage, God's way. 🙏💕 This discussion marks a significant milestone for us—it's been almost two years since Mark has embraced a porn-free life and which led us into an unexpected sex fast. This is not just about abstaining; it's about healing, growing, and connecting on a much deeper level. You'll hear our candid experiences and the profound lessons we've learned about what it truly means to serve each other in marriage.

Nothing belongs to us. Not even our testimonies. When we approach our lives in this way, whenever God commands us to share anything, we must obey. This includes the birth of our child. God knew this birth would bless more than just us as long we don’t get in the way by hoarding the experience. We were led to share our birth experience with a group of onboarding doulas and 2 days later, one of them delivered a child in an unplanned emergency. Our testimony was the encouragement God used to prepare her for her future. Everything happens on purpose. Questions 1. Yes we have access to the Holy Spirit, but what about other spirits? 2. Was this birthing experience just for us? 3. Does God use our testimonies for others?

Disclaimer, this point of view is one rooted in an understanding that God, the Father, created all things - including marriage. Creators always include an operating manual. In our case, it’s that BOOK! Aka The Word of God. Marriage is included in this manual, but we did not start off this way. It was rough. We can’t help but wonder if others are experiencing the same malfunction. Not only did we have to change course, but I, Mark, had to lead. Or more simply put, I had to go first. Our views of marriage changed and so did our view of life. Are you using the view of God, or someone else’s? Questions 1. Which manual are you following? 2. Do men really have to go first? 3. Are you aiming for #relationshipgoals?

In this episode, Mark and I chat in detail about how our son Mark Jr. came into the world! With the video we shared on social media going viral in hours, it was only right that we also sat down and talked in detail about the experience. Home birth is becoming more and more of a route people are choosing to take and we are HUGE advocates for it! Listen to the entire episode (and watch the video recording of this episode on Youtube !)

Happy Saturday, Mark here. In part 1 of this 2 part episode, we get even more uncut. A conversation about good and evil yields a disagreement between the “fact oriented mind of a man”, (me), and the “expanded - detail oriented mind of a woman”, (Jade). I actually wanted to scrap this and start over but my wife reminded me of the importance of transparency here. We jump right into a conversation of how good intentions affect us and whether it will have the same effect on our children. As I relistened, I’m reminded that I must always handle my wife with more gentleness than I’m giving. Especially while she’s 8.5 months pregnant. I had good intentions in the conversation, but are good intentions enough? Questions 1. Who is in the judgment seat? 2. Should we teach our kids to choose? 3. How did it get “hot in herre”?

Happy Saturday, Mark here. In part 1 of this 2 part episode, we get even more uncut. A conversation about good and evil yields a disagreement between the “fact oriented mind of a man”, (me), and the “expanded - detail oriented mind of a woman”, (Jade). I actually wanted to scrap this and start over but my wife reminded me of the importance of transparency here. We jump right into a conversation of how good intentions affect us and whether it will have the same effect on our children. As I listened again, I was reminded that I must always handle my wife with more gentleness than I’m giving. Especially while she’s 8.5 months pregnant. I had good intentions in the conversation, but are good intentions enough? Questions 1. Who is in the judgment seat? 2. Should we teach our kids to choose? 3. How did it get “hot in herre”?

We are born into a sinful world, not born sinners. There lies a huge difference. This means we learn our behavior and those behaviors shape who we are to ourselves and the world around us. The issue here is God already has a purpose for us - even if we don’t realize it. It’s not until deep rooted conflict arises in our spirit, that we recognize that maybe something is “off” about the life we’re living. So now what? Our vision has to go. All of it. A friend of the world is enmity towards God. Through the hurt, through the tears, through the uncomfort - we tore it all down. This is a requirement to rebuild ourselves into who God has called us to be according to His purpose for us. This episode pushes those limits in full obedience through transparency. This is #Uncut. Questions 1. Who told you who you were? 2. Who told you what your purpose was/is? 3. Are you ready to kill your will? 4. Once saved, Always saved??

God’s way is often unconventional. Anti-cultural. Anti-world. He chose the foolish things to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV). We have to be "foolish" enough (from a worldly POV) to allow God full control. To give Him our heavy burdens in exchange for His lighter ones. Along that journey, everything is challenged. Is this God or is this me? Does my works prove my faith? Who, or what, is my faith in? Our thoughts and actions have been transformed over the last couple of years by allowing God full access through obedience. We do life differently now and our feelings are starting to catch up. Questions 1. How am I following a path that only God has the blueprint to? 2. Is this God or is this me? 3. Who or what is my faith actually in?

In the first season of TGLP we walked through the journey of surrendering our lives to God. This Uncut series largely focuses on living a life sold out to God. The daily battle of our flesh and His spirit are REAL. Every decision, including how we show up for each other, has been challenged. What I desire, vs what God desires for me is a constant battle. Jesus puts it this way, “Not my will, but your will be done.” It’s one thing to pray those words, but it's another to believe it & live it. Questions 1. Is two really better than one? How sway? 2. What is the difference between flesh and spirit? 3. What do we truly deserve?
