Most spouses think rejection is something that happened to them.
Scripture reveals something far more confronting: rejection is something we come into agreement with. In this teaching, we expose how deception always precedes rejection—and why living from rejection reshapes your identity, your decisions, and ultimately the fruit of your marriage.
Rejection does not stay emotional. It moves into authority.It changes how you reason, how you desire, how you protect yourself, and how you relate to God and your spouse. This message walks through:
• Why rejection creates an orphan mindset in marriage
• How deception opens legal access to fear, dread, and disorder
• The difference between worldly wisdom and wisdom from above
• Why self-protection kills spiritual authority and fruit
• How the fear of the Lord restores identity, order, and flow
• Why wisdom—not coping—is the requirement for marital healing
You will also hear a direct biblical confrontation from:
Ephesians 4, Proverbs 10, Proverbs 13, Proverbs 24, James 1, James 3, and Proverbs 1–3.
If you are a spouse standing for growth, healing, or restoration—this is not a message about feelings. This is a message about alignment, identity, and agreement. Rejection is not your end.
But agreement with it will be.
Wisdom is calling.
Do not ignore her voice.

This episode is about what happens long before a marriage ever reaches the point of divorce or full destruction.In this teaching, we break down the biblical stages of marriage destruction—the progressive spiritual drift that takes a covenant from God’s design into chaos, confusion, and eventually death.Scripture tells us that death is not sudden—it is what happens when chaos is complete.In this episode, we walk through:— Spiritual Blindness: when perception is dulled and truth is no longer discerned— Spiritual Hiding: when awareness surfaces but repentance is avoided— Spiritual Agreement: when dysfunction becomes normalized and empowered— Spiritual Rebellion: when correction becomes offensive and truth is resisted— Spiritual Destruction: when chaos is complete and the soul is exhaustedThis is not a psychological framework.This is not modern counseling language.This is a biblical map—rooted in Scripture—that exposes how marriages drift away from God’s design without realizing it.

A marriage will never rise above the level of counsel surrounding it.
In this message, Derek reveals one of the most overlooked causes of stalled, confused, and collapsing marriages: false, unconsecrated counsel.
Not every pastor is safe.
Not every therapist is God-led.
Not every friend, mentor, or church is spiritually alive.
And when the voices around your marriage are not governed by the Spirit of God, they don’t bring healing — they quietly pull you out of covenant.
Scripture tells us that plans fail without counsel, but with many godly counselors they succeed (Proverbs 15:22). But the Bible also warns that wisdom from below is earthly, unspiritual, and even demonic (James 3). That means not all advice is neutral — some of it carries spiritual influence.
In this teaching, you will learn:
Why a spiritually dead counselor cannot produce spiritual fruit

How false counsel becomes a demonic access point in marriage

What consecration actually means in Scripture

Why comfort is not the same as peace

How to discern between wisdom from above and wisdom from below

Why your relationships are either nourishing or poisoning your covenant

How unconsecrated environments sabotage restoration

Why deliverance, discipleship, and accountability are non-negotiable for growth
You were never meant to fight for your marriage alone.
You were never meant to heal in isolation.
And you were never meant to entrust your covenant to people who do not fear God.
The Hebrew word picture for counsel means “the hand that knows the hook.”
And when a marriage is under spiritual attack, there are hooks everywhere — in past trauma, in sin agreements, in false doctrine, and in emotional wounds. Without godly counsel, those hooks stay buried. With godly counsel, they are exposed and removed.
This is a call to consecration.
To be set apart.
To be purified.
To be surrounded by people who walk in truth, not comfort.
God is bringing you relationships that will not flatter your flesh — but will protect your future.
