Established Family Podcast

There was a time when the marriage and family we have today looked impossible.Infidelity. Addiction. Financial devastation. Spiritual manipulation. Depression. Broken trust. Years of pain that left very little evidence that our marriage would ever become what it is today.In this documentary, Jordan Palizay shares her side of the testimony.She opens up about what those years looked like from her perspective, what was happening behind closed doors, the places where she had lost hope, and the journey the Lord took her on as He began healing, delivering, restoring, and rebuilding our marriage and family.This isn't a testimony about two people who figured out how to have a better marriage.It's a testimony of what Jesus can redeem when a marriage looks beyond repair.Today, Derek and Jordan have dedicated their lives to helping husbands and wives experience the same freedom, healing, and restoration they first had to walk through themselves.This is Jordan's testimony.

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.
