The Redeemed Marriage Podcast

After years of being asked for a way to share their story in a deeper way, Rusty and Heather Bryant are finally unveiling something that has been over six months in the making.

In this milestone episode of The Redeemed Marriage Podcast, they announce the official release of their video testimony—a powerful, professionally produced film created in partnership with WinShape Marriage. What began as a broken marriage in 2011 has become a story of redemption, and now that story has been captured in a way that allows couples to see and feel the journey from devastation to restoration.

Rusty and Heather take listeners behind the scenes of the filming process, reflecting on what it was like to return to the very campus where their healing first began during a marriage intensive years ago. From the intentional “stained glass” studio setting to the vulnerable moments filmed inside their own home, every detail was thoughtfully designed to honor the faithfulness of God and the reality of their story.

This is more than a video release. It is a declaration that no marriage is too far gone. It is a reminder that Jesus still redeems what feels impossible. And it is an invitation for every struggling couple to believe that their story is not over.

The official testimony film is now available at theredeemedmarriage.com and on The Redeemed Marriage YouTube channel. Rusty and Heather invite you to watch, share, and let it point you back to the hope that changed everything for them.

In this episode of The Redeemed Marriage podcast, Rusty and Heather Bryant address one of the most common sources of frustration in marriage: unmet expectations. Using Valentine’s Day as a relatable framework, they explore how unspoken hopes and “mind-reading” often lead to disappointment rather than connection. Through a candid and humorous conversation, the Bryants attempt to guess each other’s expectations—from practical needs to physical intimacy—revealing how easily couples can miss the mark when clarity is absent. They unpack the difference between a “want list” and a “reality list,” explain why disappointment is often the result of silence, and offer practical guidance for having intentional conversations before high-pressure moments. This episode helps couples see how honest communication can deepen both emotional and physical intimacy, reminding listeners that clarity is one of the greatest gifts spouses can give each other.

In this deeply honest episode of The Redeemed Marriage Podcast, Rusty and Heather Bryant continue the conversation around healing after infidelity by turning the focus to a perspective that is often misunderstood and rarely discussed. Heather vulnerably shares what the spouse who caused the hurt needs in order for true restoration to take place—not as a way to excuse betrayal, but as a pathway toward lasting healing for both partners.

Drawing from their own story, Heather introduces the idea of the “One Day” moments—those emotionally charged days when pain is fresh and decisions feel urgent. She gently challenges couples to resist making life-altering choices in the immediate aftermath of trauma and instead allow space for clarity, wisdom, and God’s work over time. Together, Rusty and Heather address the outside voices that often label forgiveness as weakness, reminding listeners that choosing to stay, fight, and rebuild requires immense courage and strength.

The conversation explores the tension between rebuilding trust and creating safety, reframing boundaries and transparency not as control, but as necessary protection for both spouses. Heather speaks candidly about the danger of perpetual punishment and how staying stuck in the offense can quietly sabotage the very healing both partners are longing for. By shifting the focus from the act of betrayal to the impact of the pain, they show how a marriage can move from being defined by an affair to being shaped by redemption.

Nearly thirty years into marriage and approaching fifteen years of life after infidelity, Rusty and Heather stand as living proof that God is able to redeem even the most broken chapters. This episode offers hope to couples in the middle of the wreckage and points toward a future where grace, humility, and perseverance can make the second half of marriage even more meaningful than the first.

In this episode of The Redeemed Marriage, Rusty and Heather step into one of the most critical—and often misunderstood—moments in the healing journey: the days immediately following confession. Speaking honestly from their own story, they address what the betrayed spouse is often carrying in shock and silence, and what the unfaithful spouse must understand if real healing is going to begin.

Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level apologies, this conversation walks through ten essential commitments that move a marriage toward safety and restoration. The focus is not just on stopping harmful behavior or choosing to stay married, but on what it actually takes to become a different person—someone capable of rebuilding trust over time. Rusty shares what he needed but didn’t yet know how to articulate in the aftermath of betrayal, while Heather reflects on the posture required to walk patiently with a wounded spouse who is learning how to respond in a reality they never asked for.

This episode speaks directly to couples living in the aftermath of broken trust, clarifying why “sorry” is only the beginning, why transparency and boundaries are non-negotiable, and why change—not just effort—is required for reconciliation. It is an honest, hope-filled conversation for anyone asking what comes next after confession, and whether a marriage can truly be rebuilt on new and safer ground.

February Prayer Challenge

TRM YouTube Channel

This week on The Redeemed Marriage Podcast, Rusty and Heather Bryant share what happens when prayer is no longer a routine—but the only place left to turn.

In this episode, they reflect on seasons when answers were unclear, circumstances felt overwhelming, and prayer became an act of surrender rather than certainty. From facing a cancer diagnosis to witnessing God’s provision in unexpected ways, Rusty and Heather point to moments where prayer was all they had left.

The conversation also introduces their February Prayer Challenge, a growing commitment in which Rusty and Heather set aside the month of February to pray daily for couples around the world. What began as a quiet act of obedience has grown into a powerful season of intercession for marriages in need of hope.

Rusty and Heather emphasize that while God is fully capable of miraculous intervention, the truest work of prayer often happens beneath the surface—reshaping trust, softening hearts, and aligning lives with God’s purposes and timing. This episode is an open invitation to anyone, regardless of where their marriage currently stands, to experience the hope that comes from being covered in prayer when there are no easy answers left.
