This Valentine’s Weekend, Pastor David and Pastor Doris Flores share the real story behind 40 years of marriage.

From their first date in 1985…
To insecurity, fear, ministry pressure, and choosing love through hard seasons…
To discovering that love isn’t just a feeling — it’s a decision made daily.

In this special edition of the Family of Faith Podcast, they open up about:

• How their relationship almost didn’t happen
• Overcoming insecurity and fear in marriage
• Learning to understand each other’s hearts
• The power of patience and intentional listening
• Choosing forgiveness every single day
• Why God must remain at the center
• What it truly takes to last 40 years

They discuss how marriage isn’t sustained by compatibility alone, but by commitment — by choosing love, choosing life, and choosing forgiveness over and over again.

As Jesus said:
“What God has joined together, let no one separate.”

This episode is honest, vulnerable, and deeply encouraging for anyone who is married, preparing for marriage, or fighting to keep their relationship strong.

If you’re walking through insecurity…
If fear is trying to shake your foundation…
If you’re wondering how couples actually “make it”…

This conversation is for you.

💡 Key Themes

• Love is a choice, not just a feeling
• Fear and insecurity can be healed

Fix Your Focus in 2026: Obedience Turns Fear Into Authority

In this powerful episode of the Family of Faith Podcast, Pastor Doris Flores delivers a timely and deeply personal word for 2026:
“Fix your heart. Fix your eyes. Fix your mind.”

After a year filled with shock, loss, anxiety, and uncertainty, many people are still feeling the effects—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Pastor Doris explains how shock can linger, quietly impacting our faith, decision-making, vision, and sense of purpose. But the message doesn’t stop there.

Through a compelling teaching from Exodus 4, the story of Moses and the rod, we’re reminded that God doesn’t begin with what we lack—He begins with what we already have in our hands. This episode explores how obedience transforms fear into authority, how faith operates when logic runs out, and why fixing our focus on God is essential for moving forward.

This message is both practical and encouraging, calling listeners to surrender fear, step out in obedience, and trust God with what feels ordinary, uncertain, or intimidating.

The episode concludes with a heartfelt prayer for those battling fear, anxiety, insecurity, overwhelm, and hopelessness—offering peace, clarity, and renewed strength through Jesus Christ.
