Marriage is beautiful. It’s meant to be a picture of Jesus and his love for the church. But it’s tough to live up to that. Every relationship comes with challenges. Whether you’re in your first or 51st year, you can grow in your marriage. Dr. Gary Chapman will join us to share stories and insights inspired by decades of counseling couples.
Get ready to think critically and biblically this hour. We start with some of the stories making headlines before we hear from Dr. George Barna on his latest research on how Americans are minimizing the role of God in their lives. We round out the hour with Todd Nettleton who will give us very specific prayer requests coming from the Persecuted Church. Don’t miss this impactful hour of conversation.
