Marilyn Nutter and April Dawn White share about their new book, Destination Hope.

Destination Hope: A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart offers camaraderie and a beacon of hope for women who feel alone in loss, struggle, or change of circumstance. This book is not a self-help book filed with platitudes from people who think they have life figured out. Instead, Marilyn Nutter and April White link arms with the audience and encourage their readers through stories of their own hardships in widowhood and chronic illness. Readers are encouraged to see loss and hardship as part of life's journey and are constantly reminded to turn their gaze upwards, to the Purveyor of Hope. Within the pages of Destination Hope comes a sisterhood, a bond, that can be formed only through the mutual understanding of loss and the need to find hope among hardships.

Although waiting isn't fun, God does a lot to develop us before our dreams are fulfilled. It's up to us to recognize that or we can just sit and wait in the hurt and not get all that God wants for us-He wants us to be mature and complete-not lacking anything.

Do you still pursue your spouse? Do you listen to understand? Do you spend more time fighting in marriage or fighting for your marriage? Well, this week we’re back with Dan & Heidi Cornell for PART 2 of our interview with them. Last week was all about parenting and this week…it’s all about healthy marriage and communication! 

Dan and Heidi are a fun couple!  They share their story and some of their background. Dan is an elementary school counselor and Heidi is an elementary school teacher.  They are the parents of three children all out of the house now and, as Heidi shares, by the grace of God they still have great relationships with their kids!

They share some great tools to support kids understanding their feelings and processing those feelings in a healthy way.
