    Helping Young People Move Past Fear & False Identity

    Helping Young People Move Past Fear & False Identity

    We get to experience a deep level of discipleship with young adults here at The Inn during the summer. One truth we address time and time again is that our behaviors are a reflection of our beliefs. We challenge young people to recognize the lies, fears and false identities that inform their behaviors so they can take those thoughts captive. In this episode, Seth & Alicia Williams discuss some of the common “root issues” young people are facing today.



    QUOTES TO REMEMBER


    “Godly feminism doesn’t look like competition with masculinity. It’s a beautiful complement.” — Alicia Williams


    “The world seeks to keep our young men very tame.” — Seth Williams


    “The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” — Proverbs 28:1


    “There is a remedy for fear, and it is love.” - Alicia Williams

    Why Premarital Counseling is Non-Negotiable

    Why Premarital Counseling is Non-Negotiable

    Preparing for marriage can be compared to planning a road trip: If you spend countless hours mapping your stops, yet you ignore the condition of your vehicle, you could be setting yourself up for disaster. In the same way, couples often spend loads of time and money on their wedding day while neglecting to invest in the marriage itself. In this episode, AJ and Amy Selby explain why premarital counseling is essential. Listen in as they share wisdom drawn from their own experience and that of couples they have coached.

    Amy loves helping women gain clarity for their lives and relationships and seeing them living fully restored. AJ has a passion for developing leaders and helping people achieve their dreams. Together, they desire to see families and marriages thrive. The couple lives in Brentwood, TN and operates Domain Life Coaching.

    QUOTES TO REMEMBER


    “People will drop ridiculous amounts of money on their wedding and spend two sessions on the foundation of their entire future.” — AJ Selby


    “[Premarital counseling] helps you think through things you didn't know you needed to think about.” — Amy Selby
