    Stay In Your Yard

    Stay In Your Yard

    We install fences in our yards for protection.  We need to install marital fences in our relationship to guard and protect our marriage.  Anything or anyone intruding into our union, breaking the boundaries, has the potential to threaten our marriage.  Listen as Jeff and Debbie discuss several safe "fences" needed in order to protect from dishonoring the relationship.  Getting outside of the fence can do more damage than you ever could imagine.  Honor and protect your marriage!  Stay in your fence!

    The Self-Absorbed Life

    The Self-Absorbed Life

    We're on a downhill slide!  It has become acceptable, and even expected to have a self-absorbed, all about me, view of life.  It has crept into our marriages as well! Listen as we discuss how culture has turned our minds and actions away from Paul's instructions to clothe ourselves in kindness.  Love Is Kind.  It's time as Christian couples to live a lifestyle of kindness.  We lay before you questions in order to help identify changes needed to be made, while sharing areas we plan to  modify in our own marriage.  Your home is going to be an amazing place to live when kindness prevails!

    Love Is Patient

    Love Is Patient

    No one wants to talk about it! But we are to be patient with our spouse. Even though we live in a culture that emphasizes "self", as Christians we are instructed to remain in emotional quietness when in unfavorable circumstances. Listen as Jeff and Debbie unpack a specific scenario in order to share how to be patient with one another. Remember, we need to stand out in the crowd...in a good way! Learn to be patient today.

    Are You Sure?

    Are You Sure?

    We prepare for the future with insurance, wills, and investments.  Tragically, we forget to prepare for the future by making sure we have a personal walk with Christ.  We depend on the culture or our family for our salvation.  But this is a personal decision.
    In this podcast, we ask three questions based on scripture, to identify characteristics of those walking with Christ.  There should be a significant difference in God's children from the world.  Is there a significant difference in our lives?  Listen now to make sure you have prepared for your eternal future.
