Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.

You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.

You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbour’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.

Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Episode 12: Intentional marriage preparation (Guest)

A wonderful exploration of how we as Christians can prepare for marriage with our lovely guest ‘Debbie’, who is incredibly passionate about marriage preparation.

Should everyone who's engaged do a marriage preparation course? What can marriage preparation involve? Why is it important? Can it give life and freedom? And is it relevant even to those who are not getting married to know a bit more more about it?

Delving into difficult topics prior to living together can built solid foundation, particularly when including practical, biblical, cultural and theological issues.

Exploring what it means to be vulnerable as Christians. Being open, real, gritty, admitting we are broken, and coming before God to ask for what we need.
