How do I respect my husband when he is not worthy of respect? If it is an abusive situation, seek help right away. If abuse is not the issue, continuing to encourage and build him up will help set expectations and increase his desire to achieve the status you’re giving him. This being said, the […]
READ MOREMarriage Question #14 (Monroe Campus) How do you get your husband to value time with the family? And to get him to engage with the kids and me instead of walking on his own when we go places together?

READ MOREGot to teach with my better half today! She did great! Tons of people told me they really appreciated her vulnerability and candor! And who knew she was that funny?!

READ MOREIn Genesis 42:22 we read, “and Reuben answered them, did I not tell you not to sin against the boy? But you did not listen.

READ MOREI had a friend in junior high who could do no wrong with the ladies (or, I guess, ‘girls’ would be more accurate). They treated him like a celebrity. Why?

READ MOREOne of my favorite weeks EVER @ Southbrook Church! It began spending some one on one time with Pastor Rene Joseph (The Billy Graham of Haiti) and his wife, Durentia.
