Most sermons and books on marriage from a Biblical worldview focus on building a strong, Christ centered marriage. If you cruise the aisle at the local bookstore, you'll find dozens of titles from Christian authors about how to maximize the happiness and effectiveness of your marriage. But not everyone starts at "happy" and gets to build from there. What if you find yourself in a stressful, difficult season of marriage? Tim and Denise Harlow married young, and quickly found themselves with three small children and one of the fastest growing churches in America. Which isn't the easiest set of circumstances for anyone, let alone a couple who had only shared a last name for a handful of years. Today, they describe themselves as happier than other, and love sharing what they learned with couples who feel like they've hit a brick wall. This episode is about what to do if you find yourself in a difficult, draining and stressful season of life and marriage, and how your relationship can come out happier on the other side because of your committment to Christ and your spouse. It's not a conversation with pat answers, but rather a look at real life in the trenches. Tim's latest book is Life on Mission, available at Amazon.

At a time when the relationship between churches and government can seem more strained than ever, South Church of the Nazarene in Lansing has built a strong relationship with the high school located next door to the church after the congregation took on an ambitious project--to paint the entire football stadium, which hadn't been updated in 30 years.
It was the first step out in a new focus on serving that now stretches from the mayor's office to the homes of local refugees. And each year people are finding Christ after being introduced to the church from programs ranging from a community garden to being handed a gift card at a time of need.Learn more at: http://www.lovemycitylansing.org/

Notice This episode contains sensative information on one Christian's work with former gang members and victims of human trafficking. Chris Baker has removed or covered over 4,000 tattoos for former gang members and victims of human trafficking. His work to give people a fresh start has been covered everywhere from Buzzfeed to the Chicago Tribune. Growing up in Los Angeles, Chris Baker was what police referred to as a "known associate." He wasn't a gang member himself, but could be found in the vicinity of the criminal underworld. After a good friend was killed in a drive by shooting, Chris and his family moved to Chicago, in search of a more peaceful life of opportunity. Although Chris had some experience with church growing up, he didn't truly meet Jesus until adulthood. When he was searching for his calling, God showed him it was already in his hand--a tattoo gun. This is an episode about removing the physical reminders of past trauma, but it's also about listening to God's call, and staying strong in your own faith and as a family when faced with massive obstacles to overcome. Finally, Chris shares some vital wisdom about keeping your children safe in the digital age.

Four weeks after New Years, most resolutions have been broken. It could be that this year you planned to start a blog or YouTube channel, open a side business or to start selling an art or craft online. It's easy to dream big as the ball drops, only to see your aspirations fall apart in the short, cold days of January.

It's easy to forget that in an era with the best economy since 9/11, more than 40 million people in the US live l with food insecurity, which is the technical term for when you don't know how you're going to eat your next meal. Nick Koster is the Program Director at Open Access in Homewood, IL. Christopher Clark grew up in Harvey, IL, a community in Cook County a high poverty rate. Despite much more lucreative offers, Clark returned to Harvey after law school to serve as the communty's only private practice lawyer.

In modern Christianity, we tend to view jobs as "sacred" (pastor, worship leader, missionary) and "secular" (teacher, police officer, construction worker). But that's not an idea found in the Bible. Rather, it sneaked it's way into Christianity a few hundred years after Jesus. Andrew Scott sees much of the future of spreading the Gospel happening both in the U.S. and around the world, as happening at work. This episode is about how to find what you love, how to work with excellence when you're there, and how to share the Gospel with the people God puts in front of you while you're doing it.

When the #metoo hashtag popped up on social media in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, it became obvious that there were countless Christian women who were coming forward with their stories of harrassment and discrimination. All the stories on social media demanded that one question be answered. As Christians, what can we be doing? Nate Larkin leads Samson Society, a nonprofit based out of Nashville, TN, which has worked with people dealing with all kinds of brokenness and looking to be restored in Christ. Nate has seen the harrassment and discrimination of women from every concievable angle, and offers practical advice on what believers can do to right this wrong.
Dr. Karen Cassiday is the President of the Anxiety and Depression Board of America (and a former Animal Planet TV personality!), and is familiar with the mounting pressure on children and teens in a culture that pushes youth to take on every concievable activity in the name of "preparing for college." How can you dial back the committments and get your family's schedule back under control? Dr. Cassiday breaks down how to raise spiritually, emotionally and physically healthy kids in a culture that wants to push children to their breaking point.
In our first episode, we avoid the topics that have been utterly exhausted on the 24/7 news cycle, and ask teh question...how do we become better neighbors and friends with people who don't look like us? Two wise voices weigh in. John M. Perkins is an 87 year old civil rights leader who endured beatings at the hands of men who taught Sunday School in his own town. Rather than driving him into hatred, the pain transformed John to deeply understand that God wanted him to love everyone. Perkins holds 13 honorary doctorates, and has served on the boards of World Vision and Prison Fellowship. Sam Kenoly is a worship leader at Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park, IL.
