Directive #2: Stay In Step With The Spirit + Challenge: Pray for your spouse. Directive #3: Take Out The Trash “Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontation still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back; in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.” - Fredrick Beuchner Directive #4: Commit To Kindness Directive #5: Freely Forgive ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/church-at-the-cross-sunday-messages-2054/episodes/gospel-fueled-marriage-skills-ephesians-4-29-5-2/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-at-the-cross-sunday-messages-2054/gospel-fueled-marriage-skills-ephesians-4-29-5-2.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
