They share all about what to do when your wife wants this from you. We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.

In this episode Dr. Kim and Christina talk about what to do when you want your husband to lead spiritually. At least once a week we get a comment or question about this, which tells me many of you are struggling with this. Well today we want to provide some helpful insight into what to do when you are in this position. We want to clarify what is and isn't your responsibility in this as the wife. We also want to share some helpful things to do to encourage your husband and share some UNhelpful things to avoid doing. Before you go ahead and forward this episode to your husband - DON'T! Next week Dr. Kim & Christina are going to be talking directly to the men about this topic. This episode is for you ladies. Fellas can tune in, but this is not the episode to forward to your husband. We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.

In this episode Jennie Lusko joins Dr. Kim to talk about her story of coping with the loss of her daughter and how to walk through tragedy with your marriage still intact. Jennie and her husband, Levi, lead Fresh Life Church in Montana. They have five children: Alivia, Daisy, Clover, Lennox, and Lenya, who is in heaven. 5 days after Christmas in 2012 their daughter Lenya died of an asthma attack. Jennie is bravely sharing her story of loss and struggle with the world in her book that just released The Fight To Flourish. One of the things that we love about this book is that Jennie points out that you don't have to have it all together for God to work. He just wants you. Grief and struggles are real but the gospel truth is that we can find hope even in the dark and that in the midst of pain, God transforms us. Jennie shares some powerful truths about walking through struggles and gives us hope and practical examples of how God uses our pain for his glory and our good.
