While journaling and asking for direction one day, the Lord spoke to Jon’s heart and pointed out how he had been focused on “I” instead of “we” in his marriage.
He set out to change that because he came to understand that a strong marriage equals a strong family, which means better work, better sex, better everything!
Jon’s wife, Kasey, will be joining him in some extra episodes in the podcasts concerning “Real Marriage”.
Both she and Jon came from broken homes. Encountering many trials along the way through their 20-year marriage, they have both had to learn the art of having a Christ-centered marriage and family.
Listen in as they discuss the ups and downs of their marriage, teamwork, and some tips on changing YOUR “I” into “we”.

For Ticket Info:
Before original sin, there was original BLESSING, as per Genesis 1:28’s verse, which begins “And God blessed them.”
Blessing is God’s first reflex, His default setting, and today’s guest, Mark Batterson, suggests that this sequence is one of utmost importance.
His newest book, Double Blessing: How to Get It. How to Give It., is about rediscovering God’s heart towards us, and then aligning our hearts with His.
Mark is the lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., and is the New York Times best-selling author of 18 books. He lives with his wife, Lora, and their three children on Capitol Hill.

Mark Batterson’s Whisper and Double Blessing: How to Get It. How to Give It.
Some Kind of Crazy is a powerful memoir written by today’s guest, Terry Wardle, and follows his upbringing as the son of an Appalachian coal-mining family. Though sometimes hilarious and affectionate, his family also left him with a legacy of fear and abuse that followed him into adulthood and landed him in a psychiatric hospital before the age of 40.
Accepting Jesus into his heart did not solve all of the un-repaired, emotional ruptures that was present in his life. He found himself on a dual path of wanting to be a follower of Jesus while continuing to limp along with his emotional wounds. It was down in the ditch of his own brokenness that he discovered the incredible work that Jesus can do if we’ll just let Him meet us there.
Terry is going to share his untold personal story with us, and how it’s only by looking back that we can move forward in the healing path.
Terry Wardle is a Doctor of Ministry, a Counselor, and a Professor at Ashland Theological Seminary.
