Faith, Family, and The Force: Recent Episodes
AnnaBeth & Oliver
In this episode we discuss our different roles in leading our family, how we make decisions, and how we do this when Oliver is deployed. We hope you enjoy the show.
We hope you enjoy this book review of God Strong by Sara Horn. It's the "military wife's spiritual survival guide," and we would mostly agree with that statement. So, if you think this book would be helpful for you, give it a read!
We have so enjoyed our weekly Bible study with and for our son! We hope everyone finds this helpful, and you can incorporate some Jesus and Bible into your house throughout your week!
"Take the job that fits your kid's schedule..."
To us, this quote seems unrealistic with many career fields and especially when dealing with military jobs.

Happy anniversary to us! We have been married for 5 years and went on a trip to Alaska to celebrate! Hope you enjoy the show.
In this episode we are taking a deeper look into the phrase... "God won't give you more than you can handle." Let us know what you think about this saying. Follow us on Instagram @ab_and_ollie. And join our Faith, Family, and the Force Facebook group. We hope you enjoy the show!
Verses discussed: 1 Corinthians 10:13 and 2 Corinthians 1:8-9.
In this episode we take a deeper look into the phrase, "God helps those who help themselves." This saying has been around for a LONG time, but is it biblical?
Verses discussed: Matthew 5:3, Ephesians 2:4-9, and 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12.
We hope you enjoy the show!
In this episode we are taking a deeper look into the phrase... "love the sinner, hate the sin." We both have heard this so much in our lifetime, but weren't sure if we wanted to agree with it.
Verses discussed: Romans 12:9, Jude 1:22-23, John 3:16-17, John 8:4-11, and Matthew 7:1-5.
Articles: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/why-do-we-forget-to-hate-the-sin-and-love-the-person.html

The next 4 episodes we are going to take a deeper look at some common Christian phrases. Starting with... "money is the root of all evil." This phrase comes from 1 Timothy 6:10, but there is so much more that this verse and the verses surrounding it say. We hope you enjoy the show.
Verses discussed in the episode: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 and 1 Timothy 6:17-19.

Excerpt from the 2021 prayer for our family:
"When there are unknowns -- give us peace and patience. When there is distance and deployments -- give us love and communication. When there is anger -- give us kindness and self-control. When there are endings and new beginnings -- give us faithfulness and trust. Help us rise to the challenges that we will face this year. Make us more aware of our surroundings, and let us continually learn and grow. Give us opportunities to serve, to laugh, to gather, and to make memories."
