“You have to have a standard that the two people involved in a relationship agree to. That’s what really makes it sing and makes it successful. And that can overcome obstacles at times—all the time. It always works.”
In this episode, Sierra Bergman interviews Rev. and Mrs. Don Lomax (Don and Jeanetter) on Biblical keys to a successful marriage. Don and Jeanetter wrote two recent companion Way Magazine articles entitled “Things I Do to Love My Wife” and “Things I Do to Reverence My Husband,” which can be viewed in the September/October 2024 issue. This interview builds on the principles laid out in that article, giving an insightful look into what helps make a marriage the best it can be according to God’s Word.

“One of the things I thought about recently from one of the authors that I use, I think Dr. Ed Wheat, he says that marriage, you know, a loving, committed marriage, is a function of time and will. It happens over time. Marriage isn’t a product; it’s a process.”
In this episode, Taylor Thurlow interviews Rev. Nik Maxson, a minister who has significant experience in Christian premarital counseling for engaged couples. They talk about some of the fundamentals of how an engaged couple can prepare for marriage, both physically and spiritually. And Rev. Maxson references several valuable resources, including scriptures, books, and websites, that can help a couple have greater success in this major life transition. Whatever phase of life you’re in, whether you’re about to get married, would like to get married someday, or even if you've been married for many years, you won’t want to miss this!

“[Mentoring] is not getting [others] to do what you want them to do or what you can even maybe see them doing. It’s to help them pursue what they want to for God.”

What are some challenges that come up in teaching and training the next generation? What are some things that young people have to offer as we all live together in this Body of Christ?

Want to gain insight into effective ways to teach and train? Tune in!

“I have spent less time playing video games than I used to, now that I’m putting God first. But I’m keeping Him first, and I’m keeping Him involved even in my thoughts and in my time as I game, and I’m having more fun, despite spending less time on this thing. So whatever it is that we’re doing, doing it with God will always get us more.”

Listen to this podcast with Hunter Mullins and minister Daniel Stoller, who are both avid video gamers, as they talk about the practical side of how to balance keeping God first and pursuing your hobbies.
