Marriage Matters with Bet Golson & Natalie Gassner

Join us this week for the first part of a special two part series on marriage. In it we will explore marriage matters, as well as why it matters so much when it comes to shepherding our kids well. Let’s step into some conversation on priorities, filters, and practicals for everyday parenting and pouring into our spouses!

The enemy loves to bring shame to the children of God.

Righteous anger can be appropriate and necessary.

We should frequently return to our ‘Gilgal’ moments: Salvation, consecration, repentance

Corporately: Pray for a firm resolve to live out God’s truth, regardless of the circumstances.

Personally: Reflect on the moments of salvation & repentance. Thank Him and remember.

1 Samuel 9-10

The person of God who wishes to see things clearly must go low…and stay there.

We must cultivate the right character and call up the right leaders.

Great moments do not equal godly consistency…God desires continued faithfulness.

The best of men are, at best, just men.

Within the context of shepherding lies another important idea. Good stewardship is the responsibility of any good shepherd. Our days with family can sometimes seem long, but ask any seasoned individual, the years go by too fast. What does healthy and profitable stewardship look like for parents today? How do we make the most of the time we’ve been given with our most valuable assets, our family? Let’s dive in and listen to what the Holy Spirit has for us on this week’s episode of Regroup. 

1 Samuel 8:1-22

Our role as parents is critical. We must prioritize godly parenting! (See vs. 1-3)

Take ownership - Don’t blame God for your failures. (See vs. 4-8)

Be very certain about what you seek – God may give it to you and all of the consequences

that go along with it. (See vs. 9-20)

Our calling is to be light in the world, not to be like the world. (See Vs. 21-22)
