A few weeks ago Frank and I got to lead a marriage conference in the chilly city of Minneapolis at Hometown Church. I posted the first session a two weeks ago-- Uncommon Foundation-- where we shared God's design for marriage. This week, I'm including the links for the remaining three sessions. Q-n-A follows the last session. Tune in!!

Newlyweds Josiah and Ella Liu share their lives and their struggles on this podcast! Married for only four months they talk about the joys and difficulties of a new marriage and how they navigate Josiah’s depression together.

The strength of foundation determines the stability of your structure. The same is true for the strength of your marriage. Tune in to hear the first session of the Uncommon Marriage Conference —Uncommon Foundation—as we lay out the foundation of a healthy, godly marriage. (The other three sessions—Uncommon Connection, Uncommon Framework, and Uncommon Vision— will be available through Hometown Church in Minneapolis. (Link will be posted as soon as it’s available)

Our very special guest, Madison James, shares her personal and beautiful story! Her father wounds through OCD, eating disorder, willful pursuit of sin were met with the love of her parents and God's complete redemption-- all her sins nailed to the cross. Please tune in to hear how God pursued and found her!!!

The sweetest part about being Christ's disciple is that He promises to be with you! (Matthew 28:20) We can know He's with us but it's a whole other wonderful thing when we experience His promise as our reality!

There is a very real cost to following Jesus. There is also a very real joy that surpasses understanding! Tune in to hear how early church disciples experienced and lived out this joy!

The Kingdom of Heaven in Luke 14 initially is described by Jesus as a feast where all are welcome. Then He warns that just because all are invited, one should not take that invitation lightly, and definitely should not dismiss it. Jesus concludes that chapter with a heart piercing proclamation laying out what it means to be His disciple. Heaven, feasting, rewards, inclusion to sacrifice, surrender, self-denial, carrying your cross... tune in to hear it all!

My very special guests are helping me ring in the new year! Tune in to hear how God spoke to Isabel and Christia as they fasted together, prayed together, attended a conference together, listened to God, and moved forward with a deeper sense of God's adoration. You don't want to miss it!!

If you're struggling a little bit to find the joy in the season, you are not alone. As beautiful as lights and tinsel are, they can leave us empty and unsatisfied. Join me as I share God the Father's heart in sending the Savior, and how Jesus clues in the Old Testament point to Him! Remembering our desperate need for a Savior makes it so much easier to rejoice at His birth!

Christmas is coming and, as Christians, we rejoice! And when we connect with family members who don't know the hope of Christ, we are desperate for them to know Him. Tune in to hear how to make a posture shift from urgent and pressured to trusting and peaceful.
