A Fresh Look at Faith and the Gospel with Bear Grylls

 In this winsome presentation, Dr. Ken Wilgus uses stories from Genesis to convey a fundamental truth: most men want to feel adequate, and most women seek connection. He explains how this difference tends to block clear communication, and offers advice to improve how we express ourselves to our spouse. He points out that marriage can take some work, but that it is the most important relationship aside from our relationship with the Lord. 

 

Both husbands and wives will learn easy habits that can transform a marriage into a thriving, enjoyable relationship! Guests include Dr. Ken Wilgus, Shaunti Feldhahn, Dr. Greg Smalley, Kathi Lipp, Dan Seaborn, Patricia Ashley, and Jay Payleitner!
