Marriage Inspiration From Some Unlikely People In The Bible

Show notes

About This Episode What can a few overlooked people in the Bible teach us about marriage? In this episode, Aaron and Jennifer Smith model how couples can casually dig into Scripture together by looking at four lesser-known figures who have encouraged them lately. Epaphras was a beloved, faithful servant who planted the church in Colossae, struggled in prayer for the believers there, and spoke well of others. Jethro gave Moses bold, wise counsel to delegate and multiply leaders rather than burn out alone. Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice passed down a legacy of faith. And the Ethiopian eunuch was a humble, teachable seeker who was baptized as soon as he heard the gospel. Each story is applied to marriage and everyday faith.
