Ep 036: Sugar Free: A journey in the making

In the previous episode, Jason and Liz gave us the first five habits to begin cultivating in order to bring back intimacy in marriage:

1. Talk to your spouse
2. Learn your spouse's love language and use it 
3. Take care of yourself
4. Date your spouse
5. Flirt with your spouse in a way they respond to positively

This week, they're giving us the final five habits to help couples who are in a hard season or just a season of disconnect to reconnect to each other and hopefully reignite that spark!

This stuff isn't easy, but these habits are essential if you're wanting to bring back the intimacy in your marriage. These aren't in order of importance, but we do believe you have to start with the first one (communication). So start there and our prayer is that you'll be on the road back to having an intimate marriage.

Jason and Liz have been married for nearly 13 years and with that comes mountains and valleys when it comes to intimacy.  There have been high highs and low lows, but over the last 13 years, they have figured out a thing or two about how to make their marriage thrive. While they would never claim to be marriage pros, they do want to share what they have learned, what they are still learning and what they are working on.

Listen in if you want to bring back that fire and passion in your marriage because we think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results of trying these!!

In today's episode of the Far More Podcast, Liz shares with us a journey that she is going on - a journey to becoming sugar free. While she doesn't know exactly what that looks like yet, she does know that God is calling her to leave behind her old ways and step into a new life that He has for her. She is stepping out in obedience and she is encouraging you to do the same.
Jason and Liz talk briefly about their little tiny adventure they went on over President's Day weekend and the adorable tiny house they stayed in (linked below). Jason offers some words of encouragement to Liz, which are her favorite, but he also reminds her that just because she's going on this journey, it doesn't mean that others will be along for the ride. More than that, they may call her silly or make fun of her or even try to discourage her from living a sugar free life.
Listen in as they unpack their weekend and talk about Liz's new journey!

If you need evidence of people hurting, look no further than this seemingly innocuous tweet by Elmo (link to the tweet) where he asks how everyone is doing. Here are some statistics from that one tweet:

• 209 million views
• 158,000 reactions
• 60,000 retweets
• 20,000 saves
• 20,000 comments

Here’s the thing—we need to better at checking on our friends. Not only that, but when our friends check on us, we need to be bold enough to tell them that we’re not ok and we need help. We then need to take it a step further and commit to praying over, and for, those friends who are hurting. 

The Lord wants us to cry out to Him, and even if we have no idea what to pray, that’s ok because God has given us Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who pray on our behalf when words just fail us. Jesus should be our first lifeline that we call when we’re hurting.

Please be encouraged by today's episode of the Far More Podcast and go check on your friends!

Right before Jesus “kicked off” His ministry while here on earth, He was first baptized by JTB (John the Baptist) but then He went into the wilderness and fasted for 40 days. 40 days! Can you imagine going even 40 hours without food? Bet you can’t!

Today, Liz and Jason talk about their experience so far with being called into a time of corporate fasting with their church, Faith Arlington. Liz gets real vulnerable and shares a really low moment she had and how the Lord convicted her of food fixation.

Jason shares how he’s never been part of a fast like this before, so he is taking it very seriously and wants to be super intentional with why he’s doing it. He also admits that, while his struggles with food aren't the same as Liz's, he does struggle with control.

They laugh at their mess-up on the night of day 4, but also get serious about what God showed both of them individually through this misstep. Listen in and find out what they did!!

What was your immediate reaction when you read the title of this episode? Did it make you uncomfortable? Did you it make you want to skip over this one? Or did it bring you peace and calm?

Today, we’re talking about entering into the eremos with God. Eremos: quiet, desolate place. If we want to hear the voice of God, we first have to get quiet and then listen.

But this world is so noisy and we often find ourselves crowding out God’s voice with distractions, whether intentionally or unintentionally. It’s time that we get back to putting the first things first, and the first thing we should be doing every single day is getting alone with God to hear from Him.

You should definitely watch Andrew’s message from Faith Arlington here.

Welcome to the Far More Podcast: Birthday Edition. Sunday was Jason's birthday and that's the day they record so Liz had the brilliant idea of doing a fun little Q & A with the birthday fella.

But don't let the word "fun" fool you. As most of you know by now, Jason is a very deep thinker and light, airy topics aren't really his jam, so Liz made sure to throw in some questions that are going to have you doing some of your own deep thinking.

Happy New Year to you, sweet friend! Today Jason and Liz reflect on 2023 and look forward to all that 2024 holds. They talk about the challenges they faced in 2023 and who they want to be going forward, both as individuals, but also as a couple.

We are made for far more and may this be the year where we all step into our God-given purpose and realize our full potential in who He has called us to be. Jason talks briefly about spiritual warfare versus our sin nature as well as spending super quiet alone time with God, listening to what He wants to say to us.

Jason also teaches us a new word: winnowing. He reads from Matthew 3:11-12 which talks about winnowing. Here's a video of what winnowing looks like. It's actually really cool!
