In order to build a life on solid ground to prepare for whatever challenges, trials, or difficulties are ahead of us, we have got to get our homes in order! That starts with our marriages. Unfortunately, we have been taught a false narrative about what marriage really is and how it’s supposed to work. That narrative has contributed to half of all marriages ending in divorce. In this episode, I expose the lie we have bought into and share two fundamental principles that will open us up to the truth behind a successful marriage.

If you are like me, you watch the news cycle and scratch your head at much of what you see, particularly from our elected leaders at all levels and in all parties. The question so many of are asking is, “What can I really do to make adifference?” We feel insignificant and powerless most of the time. BUT WE ARE NOT! Ultimately, we hold all the power to impact our culture, country, and world right in our own homes. And that power starts with our marriages. In this episode, I will share why your MARRIAGE just might be the vehicle that can create more positive influence and change in America than anything else we, or anyone, can do.

Amy Tucker is the creator and founder of Salty Britches. Originally created to withstand saltwater chafing, Salty Britches has become the best, longest-lasting barrier against skin irritation, and is trusted by families, athletes, and military personnel for year-round all-day protection.  When creating the product, Amy insisted on inscribing “Philippians 4:13” on every tube, despite overwhelming voices trying to convince her against it. In this episode, Amy shares the reason behind that decision and why that specific verse. We also discuss the full context behind the meaning of Philippians 4:13 and why it is most often misunderstood. In this conversation, we delve into what it looks like to be bold, unwavering, steadfast, and perseverant in living a life and building a business upon a higher purpose.

Throughout Lent in 2024, I will share an answered prayer from the Bible as a YT Short. Going through scripture, I've identified 44 specific references to a prayer that were answered. Throughout Lent, let's spend more time in prayer than we do watching the news. Your prayers can have a greater impact on your life, your family, our country, and the world, than anything else you could do. We will see how prayer has changed the destinies of people and nations each day as we go through the Bible. Tune in and pray on.

When tragedy strikes your family, how do you not only find peace but also muster the will to keep moving forward? JD Malone found a way by leaning on his faith and seeking the direction and will of God. JD’s first wife mother of his five children went to be with the Lord after a battle with breast cancer, and a few years later his second wife suddenly passed from a brain aneurysm. In this episode, JD shares how he sought, wrestled with, and ultimately leaned on God to sustain the drive to raise his five children alone and find both Peace and Strength through an unshakable Faith. JD shared the full powerful backstory of going through loss in Episode #5 of the Three of Seven Podcast. As our conversation focuses mostly on how he recovered and moved forward, I encourage you to listen to that episode as well.
