Tabatha was healed, we prospered financially, and we became best friends. With God's help, we learned how to do life well. And that’s exactly why we’ve created this Podcast – to help you do life with us and do it well.

    Ten powerful strategies every single person needs to hear about preparing for future relationships while fully embracing their current season. This candid conversation cuts through common misconceptions about singleness, offering practical wisdom that balances spiritual growth with real-world relationship readiness.

    We start by addressing the comparison trap that leaves many singles feeling inadequate when scrolling through social media. Those picture-perfect marriages you're envying? They might not be as perfect as they appear. Instead of comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel, we explore how to find contentment right where you are.

    The enemy loves feeding singles lies about their worth and desirability. We break down these deceptions and replace them with truth about who you really are. Whether confronting messages from past relationships or battling internal insecurities, this segment provides the ammunition you need to stand confidently in your identity.

    Finding the balance between being too picky and settling for less than God's best presents a challenge for many singles. We provide clear guidance on distinguishing between superficial preferences and non-negotiable values, helping you navigate dating decisions with wisdom rather than desperation or unrealistic standards.

    Your single season offers unparalleled opportunities for financial preparation, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. We detail specific actions you can take now—from eliminating debt to addressing past trauma to deepening your spiritual foundation—that will position you for a healthy future relationship if that's God's plan.

    Rather than viewing singleness as merely waiting, we invite you to embrace this season as purposeful preparation. The choices you make now lay the groundwork for whatever lies ahead in your relational journey, creating a stronger foundation for potential marriage and greater contentment regardless of your future relationship status.

  • Making Marriage Work | 3 essential tips for a stronger relationship
    Mar 27 2025

    Send us a text

    What happens when a marriage teeters on the edge of collapse? Ken and Tabatha Claytor don't hold back as they reveal the raw truth about their first two years of marriage—when Ken had already planned to divorce Tabitha and she was battling severe depression.

    This powerful episode takes you on their 25-year journey from those desperate early days to the thriving relationship they enjoy today. With refreshing honesty, they share how Tabitha's miraculous deliverance from depression became a turning point, allowing her to "pump the brakes" on their divorce and begin rebuilding what seemed irreparably broken.

    The Claytors distill their hard-won wisdom into three essential principles that have transformed their marriage: making your spouse your absolute priority (yes, even above your children), building unshakable trustworthiness, and developing effective communication skills. They offer practical strategies for each principle, from establishing boundaries that protect your marriage to creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations.

    Their discussion on trustworthiness is particularly revealing as Tabatha shares what has built her confidence in Ken over the decades—his authentic relationship with God behind closed doors and his consistent character across all settings. Meanwhile, their playful back-and-forth about returning text messages demonstrates how even the strongest marriages navigate everyday frustrations.

    Whether you're struggling to save a troubled relationship or simply want to strengthen an already good marriage, this episode delivers hope and practical tools you can implement immediately. As Ken powerfully reminds us, "It doesn't matter how bad your marriage might seem right now. There's a better day ahead."

  • How to stop fighting over small stuff?
    Mar 20 2025

    Send us a text

    Would you want to live with you? This powerful question lies at the heart of Ken and Tabatha's wisdom-packed conversation about marriage and relationships. Drawing from over 24 years of marriage experience, they tackle the essential principle that life is simply too short to sweat the small stuff.

    The couple explores how our memories work – we remember wedding days and children's births, not dirty dishes or minor frustrations. Yet many marriages crumble over "irreconcilable differences" that partners can't even specifically recall years later. Through personal stories and biblical principles, Ken and Tabatha outline practical ways to focus on what truly matters.

    One fascinating distinction they unpack is the difference between mothering and wifely support. A mother hovers and dictates, while a wife comes alongside to support and uplift. They introduce the concept of "incubation" – how a wife can nurture her husband's vision like a seed, helping it grow through encouragement rather than criticism. This partnership approach allows both spouses to rise together, creating a marriage where both partners feel valued and respected.

    Kindness emerges as a central theme throughout their conversation. Ken and Tabitha challenge the notion that kindness equals weakness, pointing to scripture that shows how love "is not easily angered" and "keeps no record of wrongs." They suggest becoming a "CEO" – Chief Encouragement Officer – in your home, creating an atmosphere of celebration rather than criticism. The episode culminates with a beautiful exploration of 1 Corinthians 13, revealing how these ancient principles of love provide practical solutions for modern relationship challenges.

    Whether you're newlyweds or celebrating decades together, this episode offers transformative perspectives on creating a marriage filled with patience, kindness and mutual support. Subscribe now and join us next Thursday for another powerful conversation about doing life together with purpose and love!
