When Challenges Lead to Growth

from Marriage After God Hosted by Aaron & Jennifer Smith

Growing through challenges in marriage and family life is the theme as Aaron and Jennifer Smith recap a two-week family road trip to Yellowstone and Glacier that came after a cascade of trials and included a fight in the middle of the trip. They use the experience to talk about moving forward after failure, borrowing the gap versus gain idea to measure growth against where you have been rather than an ever-shifting ideal, and applying it to marriage, parenting, and sanctification. They share how music, creativity, and prayer carried them, why recovery days matter, and the 30-day reset they are starting with Scripture, journaling, and three daily goals. Most of all, they remind couples that Christ is our victory.
