"Hello, My Name is Trauma...Have We Met" with Verrett Taylor
Trauma...mental health challenges...communication issues...therapy...generational curses... These are just some of the topics we covered during our conversation with Verrett Taylor. I've known Verrett since he was just a teenager in Youth Ministry and over the years he's experienced more trauma and seen more in his short life than many people have in their entire lives.  His life story could be a Hollywood movie and he hasn't even hit 3-0 yet. He shared so much more than I ever knew and think this conversation has something for everyone  to glean from. This was a good one!

The fantasy & reality of marriage with Dondrae & Veronica McGee
In this episode we sat down with Pastor Dondrae McGee from Zion Church Fort Washington and his wife Veronica McGee. This episode was fun, informative, enlightening and deep. We covered several areas within marriage that I think will hit home for all of us; topics like deception within a marriage, making idols of our spouses, and some keys to helping couples breathe life into a stagnant or mundane relationship.

We really got into some of the nitty-gritty behind marriage and discussed some of the big challenges that couples face when you have two imperfect people trying to become one in matrimony.
