    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!

    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.
