What if repentance in your marriage is about more than acknowledging what you did wrong?What if there are things God designed your marriage to produce—fruit, calling, ministry, identity, peace, stability, and impact—that never had the opportunity to exist because of what was happening in your home?In this episode, Derek breaks down three categories of repentance every marriage needs: repentance for the actual sin, repentance for the hidden and unseen fruit it produced, and repentance for the absence of what should have existed according to God’s original design.

What has God’s rain produced in your marriage?We often cry out for God to send the rain—to give us revelation, wisdom, mercy, direction, confirmation, provision, and breakthrough. But Hebrews 6 gives us a different question to consider:What is the rain producing when it falls on the soil of our lives?“For soil that drinks the rain which often falls on it and produces crops useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God.” — Hebrews 6:7 AMP

In this teaching, Derek and Jordan continue The Battle for Your Will and uncover how the enemy works through deception, opposition to truth, unrepentance, and ultimately the human will to accomplish his purposes.We’re breaking down:What Scripture reveals about the devil’s desires, will, works, and schemesWhat it means to be “caught alive” to do his willHow your own will can come into agreement with the enemy’s desiresWhy correction and repentance are directly connected to escaping his captivityHow to recognize when what you believe is “light” may actually be darknessWhy the fruit and works of your life and marriage reveal what your will is actually serving

What does your life actually testify about who is fathering your marriage?

You can say you want restoration. You can say you’re standing for covenant. You can say you’re following the will of God. But Jesus said, “The works that I do in My Father’s name testify concerning Me.” (John 10:25)

In this teaching, Derek continues The Battle for Your Will series by confronting the difference between a righteous desire and a will-level decision that actually produces speed, fruit, and completion.

In this teaching, Derek walks through the biblical meaning of thelō and shows why your willingness—not your spouse's response—is often the gateway to movement, obedience, and fruit in your marriage. Through passages like John 15, Matthew 15, Matthew 16, John 5, and Mark 10, you'll see a consistent pattern: God responds to people who have settled the battle of their will.
