47. Unpacking the Baggage: Finding Freedom in Your Marriage

In this powerful and transparent episode, Pastors Jay and Stacey Coleman kick off the weekend conference with a message that hits every married couple right where it matters most—the heart. Whether you’re in a season of struggle or simply want to strengthen your bond, this episode is a call to do the real work in your marriage.

Drawing from their own journey, the Colemans get honest about the “baggage” we all carry into marriage—unfulfilled expectations, untreated pain, unhealthy self-image, and unrepentant sin—and how it silently weighs down our relationships. Using the metaphor of traveling with overpacked luggage, they illustrate how many of us are walking through life with things we were never meant to carry.

Through biblical truth, personal stories, and Spirit-led encouragement, this episode guides couples to:

• Identify the baggage affecting their marriage
• Understand the lies they may have believed
• Receive God’s love, healing, and freedom
• Begin a journey toward restoration and deeper connection

Whether you came into marriage with scars or picked them up along the way, this episode is an invitation to surrender the weight and allow God to bring transformation to your life and your home.

Grab your spouse's hand, open your heart, and let’s do the work—together.

Listen now and be encouraged to approach grief with hope and grace.

Let’s continue building stronger marriages and families—together.
