  22. 22Where’s My Miracle?Love Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Why do we ever doubt God? God is in control even though it doesn’t look like it. Sometimes God works through miracles but we see in the book of Ruth how He works through his invisible hand of providence. We share in this episode how we have seen God’s hand working in our whole lives but especially in these last few years. This podcast came through God’s providence. In our marriages, somebody needs to be in control. If the husband or wife is in control it’s going to be a disaster but if the husband and wife trust that God is in control it can be beautiful. We need to see HIm as a father (as Jesus did). A father is in charge (sovereign) and he should also be good and for you. God is good and sovereign and your marriage should be a testimony of who He is.  What if you could change your life in just 3 weeks?

  23. 23I'm Your FamilyLove Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Ruth and Boaz came from two very different families. As we enter into the holiday season, the issue of extended family can cause tension and stress. How do we deal with extended family? How can we navigate different family dynamics?  When the Bible says, “Leave your father and mother”, it means you leave that family to start a new family. If you don’t do this you end up with one big dysfunctional family rather than a bunch of connected but individual families.  Get 10% off your first month as a listener of the Real Marriage podcast of Faithful Counseling an online personal counseling solution.

  24. 24Better Than SexLove Lessons from Ruth & Boaz (Season 2) Prayer is a big part of the story of Ruth. There’s a prayer in each of the four chapters of Ruth. Praying together as a married couple creates a deeper emotional bond than even sex. If you’re married do both but to a wife praying together is the safest place in the world. How can everything go from death to life like in the story of Ruth? What holds a marriage together? How do we hear from God? Prayer. To the husband just start, it’s okay if you don’t know how. Start by saying, what are some things I can pray for you about today? Create a habit of prayer with each other. Put it in the plan. Ask each other, who or what can I be praying for you about?
