We were extremely privileged to have Jan Bradford speak to the ladies at our recent mother/daughter retreat. Centered around the powerful theme of Victorious Christian Living, this weekend was filled with encouragement, truth, and practical wisdom from God’s Word. In this special episode, we revisit highlights from Jan’s messages as she challenged and inspired us to live in the victory Christ has already won. Whether you were there in person or couldn’t make it, it is our prayer that you will be encouraged in your Christian life, and hopefully you will plan to join us next year our mother/daughter retreat.

The book of Proverbs has much to say about wisdom and our desperate need for it, and if Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, desired more wisdom, then we need it more. God’s wisdom is freely given to us in His word, it is our responsibility to get it.

Joshua 24:15 says, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” The commitment to serving the Lord is one of the greatest commitments that you could make in your lifetime, and it is one that will have a lasting impact on your family for generations. As we grow in our marriages and teach our children to walk with God, the commitment to serve the Lord starts with us.

In this session, Mark and AMy Herbster answer questions on Marriage and balancing spouse and children.

Waiting is one of the hardest things that we must do as Christians, yet God commands us to wait on Him. It can be hard to wait on God and not become discouraged, yet He calls us to wait. In this session, Amy Herbster talks with wives about waiting on God and eventhough it is often hard, it is always worth it.

One of the biblical roles of men is to serve as the spiritual leader of their families—a responsibility that has been largely lost in today’s culture. We are calling on all men to rise up as godly leaders, guiding their homes with faith, humility, and perseverance in following God. This calling stands in direct contrast to the messages of the world, but it is not the world’s opinion that matters; it is God’s. He has called men to be men of the Word.

It was our privilege to have Dr. Mark Herbster speak at our couples’ retreat at the end of February. Dr. Herbster and his wife, Amy, are no strangers to Southland, having ministered at the camp for various teen camps and retreats. He is also the twin brother of Mike Herbster, the Director of Southland Christian Ministries.

Dr. Herbster has served as an evangelist, the Dean of the Seminary at Maranatha Baptist University, and most recently, he accepted the position of Family Pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Taylors, SC.

It is our prayer that these sessions minister to your heart and strengthen your marriage as a result.

In 1 Peter 3:7-9, Peter calls husbands and wives to honor one another as heirs together of the grace of life. What does it mean to live in unity, showing love, understanding, and blessing—even in the face of difficulties?
