Following Jesus Together Changed Our Marriage | with Ron and Cathy Midyett

In today’s episode of the 100xLife Podcast, Rob Dayton sits down with Ron and Cathy Midyett to talk about what actually changes in a marriage when faith stops being private and starts being practiced together.

This is not a polished “Christian marriage” conversation. It is an honest look at what happens when two people move beyond spiritual theory and begin following the words of Jesus side by side. From daily discipline and mindset to grief, loss, and family pressure, Ron and Cathy share how shared obedience reshaped the way they relate to God and to each other.

They describe how practicing faith together created shared language, deeper intimacy, and new ways of navigating tension. Ron shares a defining encounter with Father God that dismantled the lie that he was alone, and Cathy explains how that shift changed the way he showed up in their marriage and family. Together, they talk about how learning to see people as image bearers and practicing the behaviors of love carried them through the loss of both of their mothers within weeks of each other.

You will hear:

•  Why looking back reveals real growth
•  Ron’s encounter with Father God and the lie it broke
•  How 100xLife trains self control through daily denial
•  How doing the challenge together builds intimacy and shared language
•  How love and seeing people as image bearers carried them through losing both mothers within five weeks

👉 Reflect and Apply
 Father, where have I lived like I am alone, and how has that lie shaped the way I love people.

Journal Prompt
Ask the Father, “Where am I still acting like I have to do everything myself?” Write what He shows you.
Then ask, “What is one relationship where you want me to practice love as action this week?” Choose one act of obedience and do it.
