Ep. 139: Out with the Old, In with the New: How to Renew Your Marriage God’s Way

Expedition Marriage with Chris & Jamie Bailey

If you're tired of repeating the same arguments, feeling stuck in old habits, or just wondering how to truly grow together as a couple—this episode is for you.

We're discussing what it really means to renew your marriage God's way—not just through behavior change, but through heart transformation. Straight from Ephesians 4:22–24, we’re walking you through God’s process of:

1. Taking off the old
2. Renewing your mind
3. Putting on the new

This is God's design for lasting change—and it's not just for individuals, it's for marriages too.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why lasting change in marriage can’t happen by simply “trying harder”
• What it means to take off the old self—and how to recognize what needs to go
• How to replace lies and toxic patterns with truth from God's Word
• Practical ways to “put on the new” and walk in unity, grace, and love
• Why skipping the renewing your mind step will always leave you stuck
