00 Marriage Devotional: Getting Started! The Introduction to A Marriage Devotional Series

Show notes

About This Episode We are so excited to launch something new on the podcast: a 30-week devotional series walking through our very first books, Husband After God and Wife After God. In this introduction we share the story behind the devotionals, which we wrote in 2013, and how God has used them, with more than 270,000 copies sold. We explain what to expect each week, including a topic from each book, discussion questions, and a challenge, and we share our dream of helping churches start weekly marriage studies like the group that transformed our own marriage. We also read from the devotional's introduction and talk about why it matters for husbands and wives to study God's Word together and be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Episodes release every Wednesday morning, so think of this as your midweek marriage Bible study.
