Join with us in exploring sacrifice and why its so hard to accept in our relationships.
Notes from the hosts:
”So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way. Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.“
Romans 12:1-2 ERV

Welcome to episode 15! As we reflect on ourselves and our marriage, we carry out God's purpose for the covenant, which is truly to reflect His image and His promise to love us. Marriage works!
Challenges are all around us, they are inevitable, especially in marriage. Facing challenges is an opportunity for growth! Growing with your spouse in unity with Christ in a safe space and place for this transformation to occur. Witness the shift that takes place when we stand firm in our submission to God and resist the enemy! As said in James 4:8; Come near to God and he will come near to you.
How well do we know each other? Let's find out by asking questions! We play a game of Q&A to find out and see where God has given us room to improve.
Feeling tired? You are not alone! God knows we become weary, that is why He pours His strength into us. We open up about our day to day and where our help and rest comes from.
Happy New Year!! 2023!! New LIFE Resolution...renew our minds daily. It's time to rise to the standard of excellence through our savior Jesus Christ. It's time for a diet and exercise plan for our spirits! Let's feed our spirit quality thought; through The Word of God and strengthen ourselves through maintaining our balance and stability through the pressure and resistance of life. We have the best personal trainer there is known to mankind! Thank you God for setting the standard through your son, Jesus!
We can combat loneliness with the choice to connect with God and his people. We are never alone, as said in 1 John 4:13; By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells in us. Thank you God!
We have our first guests and join with Pastors of TWC Thomas & Zohnette Sligh in talking about reconciliation through Christ and what it does to our lives/relationships. We are ambassadors in Christ with a kingdom building mentality.
Tests bring forth testimonies! Though this week had brought forth some challenges, God always gets the final say and will always get the Glory. We are proclaiming and declaring God's goodness over our lives. We encourage you to reflect and share how He is working in your life. As you go through your day remember, this is the day the Lord has made, and rejoice in it.

Its almost thanksgiving but never too early to give thanks to the Lord! This week we discuss our priorities and ask what do we consider to be our top priority? Listen as we reflect on what God tells us to prioritize and how He calls us to move through the example of His Son.
A mindset builds habits and shapes behaviors. Tune in as we discuss a mindset fixed on forever. We discuss the importance of speaking life into marriage, and applying purposeful shifts to continually align our spirit with God. As soulmates we find it more rewarding to focus on the testimony verses stressing through the test.
Why do people get married? Also, why choose a Christian marriage? What even is the difference? We explore these questions as it relates to God's word and the ripple effect his design has on our relationship. We discuss the significant symbolism of a triangular relationship model with God in our marriage.
Continuing our story, in general, of us and how God brought us to this point. This part 2 of our story/testimony is the better half because this is when God was present in the relationship he started way back when. Part 2 will tell of what God has called us to do and walk in obedience in since choosing marriage, family and ultimately Christian Marriage Ministry through Treasures of the Heart Worship Center Winning Marriages. Welcome back and thank you for listening.
Episode 2 will be the beginning of what for us feels like a tale as old as time, it's a trip with us down memory lane before we were married. Part 1 however shows how memory lane isn't the sunny side of the street its cracked up to be. In fact some of the past is better left there but we just thank God that he doesn't leave us there. God holds on to a promise of where he has planned for us to be and is faithful to shepherd us into the future He has created for us. Tune back in for part 2 next week where God is really seen moving in us and our marriage.
We are so excited to bring this new marriage ministry to the podcasting world! We are looking forward to sharing testimonies and practical experiences that will resonate with other married couples and couples preparing for marriage. We want to give God all the glory ahead of time for all great things that he brings forth through this ministry. We give Him praise for relationships built on a common love of Jesus Christ and a shared desire to have stronger God centered marriages.
