As we took the time to look back on 2024, and look forward to the new year ahead, we were filled with a mix of emotions—gratitude, growth, and lessons learned. This past year was marked by unexpected challenges, joyful milestones, and countless opportunities to trust God.
Marriage is one of God’s most beautiful gifts, but it can also be one of the most challenging relationships. Over the years, Jennifer and I have learned that building a healthy, Christ-centered marriage requires intentional effort, humility, and a commitment to putting God first.
Have you ever felt like your financial situation was a mountain too beyond help? Bob and Linda Lotich, founders of Seed Time Money, know exactly how that feels. They were once buried in debt and struggling to find hope. But through God’s wisdom and guidance, they’ve experienced incredible miracles and breakthroughs.
“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause” (Isaiah 1:17). I recently had the opportunity to interview Scott Stoutenburg, the director of student engagement for Destiny Rescue, and his life story embodies this verse in an incredible way.
Jennifer and I have witnessed firsthand the incredible restorative power of God. And as Kevin and Bree Bailey share in their testimony, God can take the most broken situations and bring healing and purpose. Their story is a testament of how faith, forgiveness, and perseverance can bring life into a marriage on the brink of divorce.
Unity in marriage requires intentionality and reliance on God. Mark and Christine Jewell were recently guests on our podcast and shared their journey of unification. Their story demonstrates the importance of embracing God’s design for marriage, not only as a partnership but as a way to glorify the Lord.
