Nothing belongs to us. Not even our testimonies. When we approach our lives in this way, whenever God commands us to share anything, we must obey. This includes the birth of our child. God knew this birth would bless more than just us as long we don’t get in the way by hoarding the experience. We were led to share our birth experience with a group of onboarding doulas and 2 days later, one of them delivered a child in an unplanned emergency. Our testimony was the encouragement God used to prepar...

Disclaimer, this point of view is one rooted in an understanding that God, the Father, created all things - including marriage. Creators always include an operating manual. In our case, it’s that BOOK! Aka The Word of God. Marriage is included in this manual, but we did not start off this way. It was rough. We can’t help but wonder if others are experiencing the same malfunction. Not only did we have to change course, but I, Mark, had to lead. Or more simply put, I had to go first. Our views of ...

In this episode, Mark and I chat in detail about how our son Mark Jr. came into the world! With the video we shared on social media going viral in hours, it was only right that we also sat down and talked in detail about the experience. Home birth is becoming more and more of a route people are choosing to take and we are HUGE advocates for it! Listen to the entire episode (and watch the video recording of this episode on Youtube !)

Happy Saturday, Mark here. In part 1 of this 2 part episode, we get even more uncut. A conversation about good and evil yields a disagreement between the “fact oriented mind of a man”, (me), and the “expanded - detail oriented mind of a woman”, (Jade). I actually wanted to scrap this and start over but my wife reminded me of the importance of transparency here. We jump right into a conversation of how good intentions affect us and whether it will have the same effect on our children. As I relist...

We are born into a sinful world, not born sinners. There lies a huge difference. This means we learn our behavior and those behaviors shape who we are to ourselves and the world around us. The issue here is God already has a purpose for us - even if we don’t realize it. It’s not until deep rooted conflict arises in our spirit, that we recognize that maybe something is “off” about the life we’re living. So now what? Our vision has to go. All of it. A friend of the world is enmity towards God. Thr...

God’s way is often unconventional. Anti-cultural. Anti-world. He chose the foolish things to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV). We have to be "foolish" enough (from a worldly POV) to allow God full control. To give Him our heavy burdens in exchange for His lighter ones. Along that journey, everything is challenged. Is this God or is this me? Does my works prove my faith? Who, or what, is my faith in? Our thoughts and actions have been transformed over the last couple of years by allowin...

In the first season of TGLP we walked through the journey of surrendering our lives to God. This Uncut series largely focuses on living a life sold out to God. The daily battle of our flesh and His spirit are REAL. Every decision, including how we show up for each other, has been challenged. What I desire, vs what God desires for me is a constant battle. Jesus puts it this way, “Not my will, but your will be done.” It’s one thing to pray those words, but it's another to believe it & live it....

We were created to depend on The Creator. That dependency is based on us relinquishing control of our lives to God. He wants our body, soul, and spirit. How I spend my time dictates that relationship. Relationship helps to cut through distractions to get to know the character of God. Knowing the character of God helps us to know who to listen to, which directly impacts obedience. Without relationship it is harder to hear God. Without relationship we find ourselves limiting God and empowering Sat...

We were just getting into a groove. Things were going according to plan and in our eyes, it was exactly where we were supposed to be. Our plans were right on schedule. Then, Mark had a dream - well, dreams, that would change our course for the foreseeable future. God revealed His plans and they were clear. So now what? We’re choosing to obey. Obedience to God invites Him into everything. The first impact was in our prayer life. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6 to go into our prayer closet and pray th...

To grow, we must change something. A lot has changed in our lives over the last 3 years. While change starts on the inside of the individual, true change eventually works its way outward and will certainly affect others. That’s a hard reality in a world predicated on the outward appearance and action. As we grow spiritually the power of marriage is more evident in our individual growth. The Godbolt’s jump into very transparent conversation the only way we know how - full of love. Questions 1. Ho...

It’s testimony time. A testimony is a public profession of an experience. The Godbolts complete season 1 with their testimonies of abuse and how God would use those experiences for good.

In the second of 2 episodes, the Godbolts continue the conversation of getting naked. Simply taking off our protection with each other in order to actually heal. Doing away with shame and fear with ourselves and with each other to eventually get to the space of sharing with more people. God doesn’t heal us just for ourselves, but for others. Pulling everything together, many lessons we’ve shared in past episodes organically appear here. Have you gotten naked with yourself? Have you gotten naked ...

The Godbolts start off with a bang in this episode by revealing how they REALLY pray about EVERYTHING - even sex! Also in this episode, Jade opens up about having to break down the idol “LipsticknCurls” she had created out of gifts God placed in her for His purposes, not her own. Mark also shares why the phrase of The Godbolt home for 2022 is “Fear God” and the boldness (in Christ!) that comes with.

In this episode, Mark opens up about his exit from Corporate America and how there are moments when blessings can become a burden when God needs you to move on and we choose not to. Comfort and our own desires will keep us places that we no longer need to be. Yet, God’s grace covers us and keeps us going through it all.

In part 2 of Willbreaker, Mark continues to share about his struggle with pornography and how it truly affected their marriage. Jade gives her honest take on how she wasn’t understanding the depth of Mark’s struggle and how going to Google instead of God caused even more fear. And then God showed up through Mark’s expression of Love. And it broke Jade’s will.
