In this episode, we discuss God's qualifications for manhood. Surprisingly, those qualifications have nothing to do with the world's definition of a man.

When you have as many daughters as we have, it is important to establish early, what you are looking for in the men you want them to marry. While all of these qualifications are essential, we both agree there is one that matters most to us.

Sometimes, Christians can be the most ungracious people I know. The Grace of God should transform us, and when it does, it really shouldn't matter what our position or place is in the relationship. We should handle ourselves with grace. We should walk in wisdom, and our words should ALWAYS be with grace and seasoned with salt. If your attitude toward others does not reflect the transformational power of grace in your life, maybe it is time to take some time and reflect on whether you truly understand grace.

In this episode we look at how we too could be guilty of redefining marriage by NOT living according to grace principles. If we are redefining marriage, the bigger problem is that we are also guilty of showing the world a faulty example of the relationship with Christ and the church. Consider the implications of showing the world that faulty example. People's eternities hang in the balance.

That brings up another question. Why do we redefine marriage when God made it so simple?

Join us as we begin a two-part series on the marriage relationship. All of our relationships in life need to bring glory to God, and the marriage relationship is no exception.

Before we can dig into the principles of grace that must be applied in our marriage (Part 2), we must first examine God's definition and design for marriage.

Relationships are the window into each person's relationship with Christ. We may know a lot of Bible stuff for which we are thankful and proud, but it is the relationship with our Savior that is evidenced in our relationship with others.

The parent child relationship is probably the relationship that most exposes the relationship the parent has with their Savior. Join us as we discuss raising our children in grace so we can all bring glory to God through these relationships.

In this episode, Paul and Rebecca discuss the parent child relationship. While not everyone has children, we were or are all someone's child. We are all the product of a parent/child relationship. As such, we can all see the successes and failures of parenting...the wins and losses...the joys and hardships. It is those relationships that in many ways steer our lives in adulthood.

Our desire is that we raise our children in grace as God raises us in grace. It is this parent/child relationship that introduces children to the grace of God.

Today we look at how our identity ultimately SHOULD impact every relationship in our day to day lives...especially those relationships we claim are so important. We end the episode with Rebecca making a though provoking statement that you will want to hear.

Join us as we continue to lay the foundation for every topic and relationship you will ever encounter in life. If we don't understand our identity and embrace it, we cannot hope to live it.
