It's not how often you argue that determines how happy you are in your marriage. It's how you handle the arguments. Any married couple is going to disagree on something.

We have counseled many couples through wounds surrounding the church or their pastor. “Church hurt” is a term thrown around pretty loosely, but in this episode we talk about the idea of church hurt from a pastor’s perspective.  We’re taking on a gigantic discussion with a lot of gray area. We don’t know the nuances of your specific situation. Pastor Daniel McKillop comes to the table with wisdom & prayerfulness in preparation for this episode. Listen as we delve into the concept of spiritual authority and the specific situations where it can be abused.  Resources: 2 EROS Conferences Left This Year!

Desire is not the problem. God gave us (not just married couples) desire. It’s how we choose to honor God with this desire that makes all the difference. Today, we talked to Dr. Curt Thompson, MD and he shared some really interesting and profound insights into desire. It was a deep conversation where he really weaved together an understanding of interpersonal neurobiology & a Christian, biblical worldview of what it means to be human. You want to hear this one!

Did you know that 50% of our country’s children, over 25 million kids under 18, are growing up without a father figure in the home? It’s no coincidence that we find ourselves in a culture that’s at war with men — one that says “women don’t need men”.  👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Today, we talked to John Smithbaker, the author of Man Enough to Forgive, and the founder of Fathers in the Field. In this episode, we discuss how masculinity is a gift from God, the role of a present father, and how to heal the wounds of an absent father.    Resources: 2 EROS Conferences Left This Year!
