In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron Smith interviews Austin J. Holt about the intersection of marriage, ministry, and personal growth. Austin is a Christian entrepreneur, coach, and ministry leader dedicated to helping couples build thriving, Christ-centered marriages. Together with his wife, Rachel, he co-founded The Conscious Christian Marriage, a coaching program that integrates biblical principles with psychological insights to support high-performing Christian couples in deepening their connection and purpose .

During our conversation, Austin shares how he and his wife Rachel transitioned from wedding photography to marriage ministry, driven by a desire to strengthen their own relationship and help others do the same. Married for 14 years with four children, they’ve learned to prioritize marriage as their first ministry, especially in the face of challenges like Rachel’s parents’ divorce.

In this conversation we explore:

• The power of humility, grace, and obedience in marriage and faith.
• The difference between biblical prosperity and the prosperity gospel.
• Why ministry starts at home and why marriage should come before other obligations.
• The impact of encouragement, appreciation, and speaking life into one another.
• The importance of taking responsibility and making it easy for your spouse to love you.

Austin emphasizes that every marriage can grow with intentionality, mentorship, and faith at the center. Whether you're in a season of growth or struggle, this conversation will encourage and equip you to pursue a Christ-centered marriage—starting right where you are.

In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews Amanda Hayhurst, author of "Pray for Him" and seminary graduate whose marriage was restored after infidelity. Through her personal journey of reconciliation, healing from father wounds, and walking through her son's cancer diagnosis, Amanda shares how prayer transformed her approach to marriage and relationships.

In this vulnerable conversation, we explore:

• How attempting to be the Holy Spirit in our spouse's life creates frustration instead of change
• The transformative power of surrendering control and praying consistently for your husband
• Why authentic community was crucial to Amanda's marriage surviving infidelity
• The freedom that comes when we stop trying to fix others and start interceding for them
• How suffering can create a raw dependency on God that we often miss in comfortable seasons
• The importance of feeling our emotions before God rather than numbing them
• Practical ways to discern when to give advice versus when to simply listen
• The healing journey from carrying father wounds into marriage to finding identity in Christ

Whether you're struggling with a desire to change your spouse, walking through a season of betrayal, feeling isolated in your pain, or simply wanting to deepen your prayer life, this conversation offers hope and practical wisdom for surrendering control and trusting God with your relationships.
