Influencing From a Safe Place

Five Things That Will Put Your Marriage in a Ditch, pt1

Everyone has struggles in marriage. What matters is how you confront and work through those struggles. Today, guest podcasters Dawn and Pastor Tim Quintrell join us for a practical and honest conversation on Five Things That Will Put Your Marriage in a Ditch. In this episode, they unpack the first two areas that can quietly pull a marriage off course: when our relationship with God is no longer our first priority and when our spouse begins to take second place to the demands of life. Healthy marriages are built when we stay rooted in the Lord and intentionally return to making one another a priority.

God’s Resume According to Him

God defines His glory as His goodness. When we lose sight of Him according to His own description—His lovingkindness, mercy, and compassion—we do so to our own detriment. But when we forget, we can look up, and be reminded of His smile over us and His immense goodness.

Becoming New

You will never move out of personal misery into a healthier place if you’re locked in perpetual self-pity. Let go of what is behind and go after what is ahead. Pursue Him. Don’t surrender. Don’t quit. Strive to enter into His rest. For more information on Flourish or to join our community of women, visit NRPFlourish.com [http://NRPFlourish.com]
