Throwing Mountains
Welcome to the Throwing Mountains (formerly Empowered Manhood) podcast, where men rediscover courageous leadership. You'll be strengthened by the stories of God working in the lives of ordinary men today -- men who've become leaders in their spheres of influence by relying on God and following Jesus. You'll also gain a sharp focus on the biblical idea of masculine leadership which will help orient your own life as a man.

Weekly Strength 1.6: God in the Day-to-Day -- Marriage
If you are going to have a successful marriage, then you need to master conflict resolution. But there are two big obstacles to resolving conflicts in your marriage:
- Nearly 70 percent of the conflicts in relationships center on unresolvable, perpetual problems.
- Men and women approach and handle conflict very differently.
As a result, a lot of marital conflicts end up at an impasse. What's the answer?
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs says that the answer lies in Ephesians 5.
This week’s Bible passage: Ephesians 5:25-33
