    Ep. 49 People on Dating

    I was a guest on another podcast called People on Dating, hosted by Will Morales. Will started his podcast because of the stories he had heard and the experiences he had while dating. He says he is no expert. Instead, he talks with experts on relationships and everyday people. However, the main idea of his show is to discuss the ups and downs of courtship. Whether you are 18 or 80, you have a story.  The goal of our conversation was to talk about dating with a purpose. Does dating always have engagement as a goal? We also discuss the idea of dating as engaged and married couples. We will talk about the Date Challenge as well.   Will Morales's Podcast, People on Dating, can be found at https://www.peopleondating.com/ His Instagram handle is @peopleondating For more on David Anderson or WeddingChaplain.com David Anderson's Linktree Profile The Wedding Chaplain Website Find the Wedding Chaplain on social media: On Facebook On Instagram Twitter: @weddingchaplain On LinkedIn On Pinterest Sponsor: EWed Insurance

    Ep. 48 Reset and Preview

    We are back! We took a brief hiatus and turned it into a year off. I took on a new ministry position and spent much of 2024 working on my second book, so the podcast took a backseat. Unfortunately, we are excited to get things back on track. Today’s episode is just a catch-up and reset, preparing us for new episodes every week.

    Ep. 47 - A Sunday Morning Message from: David Anderson

    No guest today. In addition to my work at WeddingChaplain.com, I am also a local church pastor. On October 1st, we had a launch day that included my Sunday morning message being centered around the release of my new book, Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Save Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You Are at It. I share stories of my favorite stories from my wedding ministry over the past twenty-two years: the good, the bad, and the crazy. I also call for churches to re-engage the wedding world. Churches should be the central place couples turn to when they get engaged.  The church should own the wedding industry, not watch from the sidelines.   The link on Amazon to purchase a copy of the book is here:  https://www.amazon.com/Before-God-These-Witnesses-Community/dp/1662876270   To watch the video of this message:  https://youtu.be/-WMz1GYj_jw?si=iM32YN5tfpxFTMT7 To visit the Paradise Church Website: https://paradisechurch.org/ For more on David Anderson or WeddingChaplain.com David Anderson's Linktree Profile  The Wedding Chaplain Website  Find the Wedding Chaplain on social media: On Facebook  On Instagram  Twitter: @weddingchaplain  On LinkedIn  On Pinterest  Sponsor: EWed Insurance

    Today’s guest is Myrna Scales. Myrna is a USAF pilot wife, mom to two young boys, blogger, TEDx Speaker, and Certified Enneagram Coach. She loves helping people build confidence with the Enneagram. The Enneagram is a personality typing system that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions.

Understanding your primary type can be a powerful tool for self-knowledge and improvement in all areas of your life, workplace, and especially your relationships.

    Ep. 43 - After the Climb

    No guest today. I take some time to talk about the feelings and emotions of the wedding weekend. Weddings are mountain-top events, meaning a climb up and a coming off-the-mountain experience. The climb up is stressful and exciting. The descending is full of decompression relief and can sometimes be deflating.  For those interested in ordering a copy of my new book, Before God and These Witnesses, the link on Amazon is here:  https://www.amazon.com/Before-God-These-Witnesses-Community/dp/1662876270 For more on David Anderson or WeddingChaplain.com David Anderson's Linktree Profile The Wedding Chaplain Website Find the Wedding Chaplain on social media: On Facebook On Instagram Twitter: @weddingchaplain On LinkedIn On Pinterest Sponsor: EWed Insurance

    Ep. 42 - The Vow: An Interview with Author Michael Ruskin

    Today’s guest is Michael Ruskin. Michael is the last surviving member of his immediate family.  Mr. Ruskin writes for a living and writes and publishes memoirs and family history books for people who want their stories told and preserved as keepsakes for their family or to a wider audience.  The Vow, A Love Story and the Holocaust is Mr. Ruskin's latest book, but not his last.  The Vow is the story of Michael’s parents.  A true story based on the lives of two people whose love, faith, and will to survive transcended one of the darkest periods in human history...the Holocaust. Excerpt from the book: “As the last remaining captives were being herded towards the trains, David whispered in Dora’s ear. "No matter where they take us, we will meet back here in the Square, when this is over. Stay strong my Love, and know my thoughts and prayers are with you."  Dora replied with tears in her eyes. “I love you David and I will pray every night that God keeps us safe and brings us home to each other." -The Vow: A Love Story & The Holocaust”   The easiest way to connect with Michael is through his website: https://thevowalovestory.com facebook   https://facebook.thevowalovestory.com  https://intsagram/thevowalovestory For more on David Anderson or WeddingChaplain.com David Anderson's Linktree Profile The Wedding Chaplain Website Find the Wedding Chaplain on social media: On Facebook On Instagram Twitter: @weddingchaplain On LinkedIn On Pinterest Sponsor: EWed Insurance
