Peace is something that we all need that we can only receive from God. In life, we we don't have peace, it can make life difficult and even at times unbearable. My prayer is that you seek God for peace and pursue peace with all people. Peace is not to be confused with being comfortable or getting your way. Peace is truly the freedom from disturbance by way of God's blessings. We can all have peace in all areas of our life if we seek and submit our lives to Christ. Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast! #LetGodWork #peace
[Romans 12:18] If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

God alone is the source of our peace.
An inward mess leads to an outward mess.
Understanding prevents judgement.
Humility is the currency of connection.
Our marriage is the most valuable relationship that we can ever be a part of. It is essential that we protect it! Be sure that you are being a student of your spouse, putting up necessary boundaries and guidelines, and continue to remain transparent and vulnerable with your spouse. Your marriage is worth fighting for, but it needs to be protected as well. Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast! #LetGodWork #marriage
Conflict is an in house issue.
Close the Door (don't let anything outside of your marriage be a distraction or cause division)
Communication & Get Help Now! (you have to communicate and communicate often & get help now if there is an issue, don't wait!)
Christians are known for being more offensive than loving, and we need to change that. Church hurt is a real thing and a lot of what comes out of pulpits stray from Biblical teachings and sound Gospel principles. We don't need another "motivational sermon" that influences people to idolize a pastor or minister. Everyone needs the Gospel. When we get the Gospel accurately, and we become students of God's Word ourselves, there are remarkable changes that happen and directions that are provided. Our beliefs are what shape our behavior. Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast! #LetGodWork

Marriage is the most wonderful and challenging relationship that we could ever be involved in. This podcast, 38yr old me talks to 35yr old me as a newly wed and share some of the great wisdom and understanding that i sought after about marriage.

My prayer is that this podcast encourages and inspires you! Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast! #LetGodWork #marriage
-Division is the enemy's plan and will always be his plan
-Husbands, you cannot be your wife's protection and her problem (Respect & Connection is necessary)
