Strengthening Marriage Through Faith, Humility, and Obedience - w/ Austin J. Holt

In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron Smith interviews Austin J. Holt about the intersection of marriage, ministry, and personal growth. Austin is a Christian entrepreneur, coach, and ministry leader dedicated to helping couples build thriving, Christ-centered marriages. Together with his wife, Rachel, he co-founded The Conscious Christian Marriage, a coaching program that integrates biblical principles with psychological insights to support high-performing Christian couples in deepening their connection and purpose .

During our conversation, Austin shares how he and his wife Rachel transitioned from wedding photography to marriage ministry, driven by a desire to strengthen their own relationship and help others do the same. Married for 14 years with four children, they’ve learned to prioritize marriage as their first ministry, especially in the face of challenges like Rachel’s parents’ divorce.

In this conversation we explore:

• The power of humility, grace, and obedience in marriage and faith.
• The difference between biblical prosperity and the prosperity gospel.
• Why ministry starts at home and why marriage should come before other obligations.
• The impact of encouragement, appreciation, and speaking life into one another.
• The importance of taking responsibility and making it easy for your spouse to love you.

Austin emphasizes that every marriage can grow with intentionality, mentorship, and faith at the center. Whether you're in a season of growth or struggle, this conversation will encourage and equip you to pursue a Christ-centered marriage—starting right where you are.
