Join our conversation on “Winning the Home Game”—where legacy, safety, and true joy are built—and why it must outrank every away game of career, hustle, and hobbies. Drawing from years of coaching couples from NFL locker rooms to busy city life, we share a faith-first blueprint that puts God at the center and your spouse next, turning good intentions into daily, practical wins.

We unpack real-world examples—from a TV judge to a renowned pastor to a sports insider—highlight what happens when the urgent devours the important and how to reset before the drift becomes a wall.

You’ll learn why preventative alignment is cheaper than crisis repair, and how to guard your home from outside temptations by feeding it with time, laughter, and affirmation. Marriage doesn’t need perfection; it needs two willing people fighting for connection.

Share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the one boundary you’ll set this week to win your home game.

We sit down with Clayton and Ashley Hurst, marriage pastors at Lakewood Church (Houston, Texas), to trace their path from pride and pain to a practical, hope-filled marriage built on humility, daily devotions, and community. Their story offers clear plays you can run today to rebuild trust, safety, and unity.

• Skipping premarital counseling and the slow slide into hopelessness
• The question that sparked humility and a new start
• Daily non-negotiables of honor, respect, and security
• Vulnerability, open devices, and safe conversations
• Reading the Bible together and renewing the mind
• Planning before conflict and fighting as a team
• Processing grief, seeking counseling, and showing grace
• Finding mentors, joining groups, and avoiding isolation
