We are joined again by Kyrie and Julie where we discuss how scripture has been used in their lives to heal the mind and save your soul! We discuss their favorite book of the Bible (if thats allowed... ha!). The Bible is not a book, it is a lilbrary consisting of 66 books that have been rigorously evaluated for authenticity and historical accuracy, standing the test of time and showing God's unfailing promise to give us His word, and protect it throughout the ages.

On this episode we discuss the books of the past. Classical authors such as C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, G.K.

In Defense of Sanity - G.K. Chesterton

Christians are facing an increasing challenge to step into the workplace and still be able to maintain their moral and religious values. This Episode starts the conversation about how we as Christians enter the workplace with a missional mindset, to show the Gospel, and how to tactfully share truth to an increasing audience who seems to be running from it.  This is sure to prompt some thoughts and discussions, so let us know what you think and I encourage you to reach out to us on IG: Upper_Room_Family and give us your perspectives.  

Want to learn more about Dr. Dave and Julie, how they met, their dating and proposal, wedding day, and 15 year summary of marriage? I (Dr. Dave) had a great time talking with my wife Julie, reliving our early marriage days and boy have we grown A LOT! We still dont have it all together, and certainly didn't when we got married, but after talking, I am more convinced than ever before that I made the right decision! Here is to 45+ more years of marriage Lord willing :) 

Sabbath Rest part 1 was such a great conversation we HAD to have a part 2!!! On this episode we start with some humor (gotta pay the bills with ads somehow, i.e. fake it until we make it?) then we jump back into practical applications of the Sabbath Rest you and your family can implement! As always, connect with The Upper Room Family on IG: @upper_room_family. Let me know what you think and please if you like this content leave a 5 star review and PLEASE share! 

Welcome to Episode 1 on the Upper Room Family Podcast! This is the first of many topics we will cover, and thought it best to start with What is the Upper Room Family? Join me your host, David Martin, with 3 of my best friends as we discuss raising a family, using Biblical principles and praying for an Acts 16:31 vision for the salvation of our families. We discuss prayer, spiritual growth, and rhythms to practice as we search out the scriptures and life a life of calling to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
