Strengthening Marriage Through Faith, Humility, and Obedience - w/ Austin J. Holt

Marriage as your first ministry is the heart of this Marriage After God conversation with Austin J. Holt, marriage coach and co-founder of The Conscious Christian Marriage. Austin shares how he and his wife Rachel went from running a top Kansas City wedding photography business to coaching couples, partly fueled by processing Rachel's parents' divorce. He explains why pastors and volunteers can over-serve at church while being absent at home, and makes the case for a family-focused sabbatical. Austin unpacks "active appreciation," the idea that what and who we appreciate appreciates in value, along with making it easy for your spouse to love you, taking 100% responsibility for your own integrity, the difference between biblical prosperity and the prosperity gospel, and why commitments are made before God regardless of your spouse.
