Believe it or not Steve and Rich have reached the end of the doctrinal statement they've been working through. Time flies when you're having fun, right? This point will be split into three parts over the next three weeks. No need to worry about being at the end of the doctrinal statement as Steve and Rich have plenty more to talk about when it comes to thinking like a Christian in this foreign world. Today on the podcast Steve and Rich are tackling an issue that has become extremely divisive in our culture over the last few decades and that is the topic of marriage. It can clearly be seen in culture how the misunderstanding of marriage has caused so much damage. This conversation focuses on all the positive elements of the design that God has for marriage. Genesis is the first place marriage is seen in scripture and chapter 2 is where God's design is laid out. Marriage between a man and a woman is the most important relationship that humans will ever know or experience on earth. To be fully known, fully loved and fully trusted can be truly experienced in the commitment and covenant of marriage. Steve speaks to the idea that a spouse does not offer completion as that is found in a relationship with Jesus alone. Identity in Christ is what brings value and worth. If someone is single it does not mean they're "missing something." The episode ends with Sarah asking Steve and Rich how they feel their wives (Tami + Larissa 😊) best compliment them. Make sure you plan to join us next week for Part 2 of this conversation!
