Christmas can be “the most wonderful time of the year,” but the holidays can also have a way of making life’s regrets, struggles and brokenness seem even bigger.

We’ve all had days (and maybe even years) when life just doesn’t seem to be going our way! I’ve had long seasons of life where I felt like nothing was working and everything was out of whack, and I’ve had frustrating days where I just can’t seem to get anything accomplished. This morning was one of those times… I was getting all three of our boys ready for school which is a massive undertaking and makes me respect my wife... Read more
One of the leading causes of divorce is financial stress. Like most couples, Ashley and I have experienced the strain and stress of debt and the struggle to make ends meet at different periods in our marriage, and it’s exhausting! Thankfully, we’ve been able to implement the principles below and it has brought an extraordinary amount of peace to our lives as a result.
