The Dangerous Trap of Self-Righteousness + Faith, Finances, and Marriage - March 4, 2026
Podcasts > The Steve Marston Show
He’s a regular guy with a cool job—and a deep love for Jesus. The Steve Marston Show is a daily, faith-and-fun conversation designed to help you take the next step in your walk with Christ. Think of it as a “200-level” discipleship course: deeper than the basics, but still practical, relatable, and real.
Each episode blends biblical truth, cultural commentary, and honest talk about marriage, parenting, identity, and what it looks like to put God first in a busy, distracted world. Along the way, Steve sits down with guests God is working through, highlights stories of transformation, explores what’s happening in the news through a Christian lens, and—yes—delivers a steady dose of dad jokes.
Serious about faith. Serious about fun. And serious about helping you live like Jesus where it matters most.

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve opens with a challenging reflection on one of the most subtle spiritual dangers for long-time believers: self-righteousness. When we begin to measure our goodness against others instead of God’s standard, it can quietly create distance between us and the Lord. Steve talks candidly about how easy it is to slip into the mindset of “look what I’ve done” rather than remembering that our righteousness comes from Christ alone.
Later in the show, Steve introduces the “Seek and You’ll Find” segment with a look at Paul’s final instructions to Timothy in 2 Timothy and a challenge to identify the false teachers Paul warned about.
Then counselor Glenn Lutjens from Focus on the Family joins the program to talk about one of the biggest pressure points in marriage: money. From separate bank accounts to debt, giving, and communication, Glenn shares practical and biblical wisdom for couples who want to get on the same page financially and strengthen their marriage.
