No one wants to talk about it! But we are to be patient with our spouse. Even though we live in a culture that emphasizes "self", as Christians we are instructed to remain in emotional quietness when in unfavorable circumstances. Listen as Jeff and Debbie unpack a specific scenario in order to share how to be patient with one another. Remember, we need to stand out in the crowd...in a good way! Learn to be patient today.

Are You Sure?
Friday Oct 07, 2022
Friday Oct 07, 2022
We prepare for the future with insurance, wills, and investments. Tragically, we forget to prepare for the future by making sure we have a personal walk with Christ. We depend on the culture or our family for our salvation. But this is a personal decision.
In this podcast, we ask three questions based on scripture, to identify characteristics of those walking with Christ. There should be a significant difference in God's children from the world. Is there a significant difference in our lives? Listen now to make sure you have prepared for your eternal future.
