What happens when you simply open the Bible with your spouse and ask God to reveal Himself?

In this special Covenant Army Marriage Bible Talk, Brent and Lucy invite you into a real, unscripted husband and wife Bible study through 1 Kings 17 and the story of the prophet Elijah. This conversation is about more than Bible knowledge. It is about learning to know God, recognize His character, trust His Word, and walk in obedience even when you cannot see what He is doing.

As Brent and Lucy unpack Elijah’s journey, they explore powerful themes of faith, obedience, prayer, spiritual growth, God’s provision, trusting God in difficult seasons, and hearing His voice. From ravens feeding Elijah, to the widow whose flour and oil never ran out, to the restoration of her son, this chapter reveals a God who is faithful, powerful, and able to provide in the most unlikely circumstances.

They also talk honestly about seasons when the brook seems to dry up, when circumstances do not make sense, and when we are tempted to question whether God is still working. Drawing from their own marriage, family, ministry, and experiences of God’s provision, Brent and Lucy share why obedience often comes before understanding and why faith grows when we look back and recognize the ways God has already been faithful.

This episode is also a reminder that husbands and wives do not have to be Bible scholars or theologians to study Scripture together. You can sit down with your spouse, open the Word of God, pray, ask questions, listen to each other, and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal what God wants to show you.

If you want to grow in Christian marriage, biblical marriage, spiritual intimacy, Bible study for couples, prayer, faith, obedience, and a deeper relationship with God, this conversation is for you.

Grab your Bible, sit down with your spouse, and join Brent and Lucy as they pull back the curtain on what it looks like to seek God together.
