Marriage Mondays' with The King's Podcast
Hosted by Marriage Mondays with the Kings · EN
We’re Kenya and ShanTrail King, hosts of Marriage Mondays with The Kings, airing on KRGN 98.5 FM “The Rock” in Central Texas.
For more than 27 years, our marriage has been a living testimony of faith, growth, commitment, and love in action. God has given us a mission to pour hope, wisdom, and truth into marriages and relationships around the world.
Each week, we have honest conversations about the real challenges couples face—because marriage may not always be picture-perfect, but it can still be powerful. From communication, trust, and forgiveness to intimacy, healing, and finding your rhythm again, we talk about it all with honesty, laughter, practical wisdom, and encouragement rooted in God’s Word.
This podcast is not only for married couples. It is also for singles who desire marriage, individuals rebuilding after heartbreak, and anyone who believes strong relationships can create stronger homes and communities.
Our motto says it best:
Helping to build stronger marriages that lead to stronger families and stronger communities. ❤️
So grab your spouse—or your notebook—and join the conversation each week. Together, we are challenging unhealthy patterns, strengthening relationships, and helping love remain standing when life tries to tear it down.
Tune in, share the show, and be encouraged. Blessings, and welcome to the Kings’ family!
