5 Things Going to Church Does for Your Marriage

Our modern individualistic society often does not put church attendance into our priority list.

Church has become a nice addition to Christian living rather than a staple of a Christian’s week. The Bible says, “Let us […]

Dear NAME,

Dear NAME, I have been unemployed for a few months and have been looking for work. When my wife and I talk to our friends, she always manages to slip in some sort of joke about her being the breadwinner. She claims the jokes don’t mean anything and that she is just teasing, but honestly, […]

What does your schedule look like these days? Anything new? This March and April I have several speaking engagements that I am excited about—a pastors and leader’s conferences, a women’s conference and two marriage seminars. Also, the pastor’s wives breakfast I started last year, and lately they have been loving it so much they have […]
