    WHAT NOT TO FORGET WHEN YOU'RE FORGOTTEN: Joel Dombrow | Series: DREAMER

    Joseph's story reveals the painful reality of being forgotten by people while never being forgotten by God. After interpreting dreams for Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker in prison, Joseph made a simple request to be remembered and mentioned to Pharaoh. Though his interpretations proved accurate, the cupbearer forgot Joseph for two more years. This divine forgetting served crucial purposes: shattering Joseph's idols and self-reliance, staging his calling at precisely the right moment for God's greater plan, and shaping his character through ordinary faithfulness. While people may forget us, God never does - He remains with us through every season of waiting and apparent abandonment.

    A HIDDEN TREASURE: Joel Dombrow

    Paul teaches that believers carry an incredible treasure - the gospel of Jesus Christ - within fragile human bodies he calls jars of clay. When we face trials and hardships, these difficulties act like cracks in clay pots, revealing the precious treasure of Christ within us to the world. Our suffering isn't meaningless; God uses it to display His power and glory through our weakness. Paul calls our troubles light and momentary because he maintains an eternal perspective, knowing that heaven awaits where all pain will cease. The greatest spiritual influence often comes not during easy times, but when others witness believers trusting God through difficulty.

    THE PRIVILEGE OF PARENTING : Joel Dombrow | Series: FORTIFIED

    Parenting can feel overwhelming in today's world, but God's Word provides clear guidance for raising children. Children are precious gifts from God, not burdens or interruptions to our plans. As parents, we serve as stewards of God's children, responsible for modeling faith and depositing truth into their lives. We must protect them from harmful influences while creating a home culture of love and respect. The opportunity to shape young lives for God's kingdom is incredible, yet the time we have is shockingly brief - by age 12, we've spent 75% of our in-person time with our children. This reality should motivate us to cherish each season and be intentional about pointing our children toward their heavenly Father.

    FORTIFYING FAMILIES-BUILDING A SHARED SPIRITUAL LIFE: Andrew Poe | Series: FORTIFIED

    Research shows that couples who attend church together are 78% more likely to describe themselves as very happy and 47% less likely to divorce. This reflects the biblical truth found in Ecclesiastes about the strength of a triple-braided cord - two people clinging to each other while being held together by God's presence. Building a shared spiritual life requires fearing and serving God faithfully, throwing away modern idols that compete for our attention, and choosing daily to focus on what matters most. For couples committed to following Christ, this means praying together, worshipping together, having meaningful conversations, holding each other accountable, and encouraging one another daily.

    MARRIAGE MATTERS: Joel Dombrow | Series: FORTIFIED

    In our busy culture, marriage often takes a backseat to packed schedules and endless commitments. Even biblical heroes like Moses struggled with overwhelming busyness that wasn't necessarily good. Busyness cuts us off from meaningful connections and robs us of the ability to be truly present with our spouse. The solution isn't eliminating all activities, but establishing clear priorities. Marriage should be viewed as a gift from God, not a chore. We must choose what we want to be great at and make being an excellent spouse one of those priorities. This requires continually pursuing your spouse, enjoying life together, and practicing the art of attention - really looking at and learning about the person you married.

    MARRIAGE HEALING: Joel Dombrow | Series: FORTIFIED

    Marriage inevitably involves conflict, but how we handle disagreements determines whether we build bridges or walls. Relationships deteriorate through predictable stages from devotion to distance, often fueled by comparing, concealing, controlling, criticizing, condemning, crushing, and contempt. The Bible calls us to be reconcilers, following Christ's example of taking responsibility even for what isn't our fault. Resolving marital conflict requires taking action against major threats, owning your part, forgiving debts, and focusing on winning back your spouse's heart rather than winning arguments. The goal is building covenant relationships rooted in grace rather than contract relationships based on scorekeeping.

    MARRIAGE BEGINNINGS: Joel Dombrow | Series: FORTIFIED

    Marriage was God's idea, not a human invention, and He has the right to define it. According to Hebrews 13:4, marriage should be honored by all as something precious and valuable. Like a priceless work of art that needs restoration, your marriage is God's masterpiece worth fighting for. Jesus taught that marriage creates a mysterious one flesh union that reflects God's own nature. Rather than treating marriage as a breakable contract, God designed it as a permanent covenant. The key to a thriving marriage is pursuing God together through prayer, biblical thinking, praise, mutual purification, and perseverance through difficult times.
