Have you unknowingly fallen into the “walk, stand, sit” trap that's quietly sabotaging your progress—in your marriage, career, or even your health?
In this eye-opening episode of the Marriage of Greatness podcast, hosts Evan and Susan Money unpack the rarely recognized dangers of the “walk, stand, sit” principle and how it holds us back from greatness. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 1:1 and practical life experience, they reveal how we often start with good intentions (“walking”), get distracted and stall out (“standing”), and eventually lose momentum entirely (“sitting”)—all too often in areas that matter most.
Key Highlights:
- Evan shares a powerful lesson learned from mentor Jonathan de Cure about the subtle ways distraction stops our forward motion, especially when it comes to personal growth and marriage.
- Susan offers a memorable metaphor comparing life’s stages to rivers, lakes, and ponds—you’ll never look at stagnant water (or your own habits) the same way again!
- Real talk on how fear of rejection can keep us “seated” and why embracing “redirection” instead of stopping is the fast track back to progress.
- Practical strategies like “walk and talk” meetings—why moving together physically leads to deeper, more authentic conversations and growth.
- Inspiring stories from their involvement with Generous Giving that demonstrate the power of walking together, not alone.
Listener Action Steps:
- Reflect: Where in your life or marriage are you walking, standing, or sitting? Susan challenges listeners to identify those stagnant areas and ask, “Where have I stopped moving forward?”
- Act: No step is too small—stand up, take a literal or figurative walk, reach out, and put one lesson into immediate action. Even one move away from “sitting” starts the momentum you need.
- Connect: Find others to “walk” with. Progress and generosity grow stronger in community than in isolation.
- Share: Let Evan and Susan know how you’re putting the “walk, stand, sit” principle into action—DM or tag @marriageofgreatness on Instagram!
This short and powerful episode will motivate you to trade “grinding” for “flow,” shake off inertia, and take simple steps to restore passion, connection, and purpose—starting today.
Don’t miss this chance to get unstuck—tune in, reflect, and let’s get moving toward greatness together!
