Fierce Marriage

Peace is one of those things you don't realize is there until it's gone, then that's when you're most desperate to regain it. Jesus promised to give otherworldly peace to believers through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. So, what should we do when we don't feel peace?

In this episode, we'll discuss what true peace looks like and where it's found.

Healthy boundaries will protect you from overextending yourself in life. They will also protect the health of your marriage when they're clearly defined. Every season of frustration in our own marriage ("season" = many months) can usually be traced back to some issue with boundaries. Usually, I'm overworking, or we're making poor decisions in areas where we haven't clearly defined our "walls".

In this episode, we'll explore three specific ways you can create healthy boundaries in your marriage.
