The God-Wild Marriage - I

December 2, 2013
One of the most frequent reasons young people delay marriage is said to be due to the lack of joy they see in their parents’ relationships—and their subsequent divorces. Pastor Steve and Liz Holt share their personal experiences in marriage and how we, as the Church, can work to reverse this thinking. It’s all about experiencing a “God-wild marriage” and being a strong role model to our children. You won’t want to miss this discussion.

What Is a Woman, According to God?
What is a woman? You might think that this is a simple question. In recent years, however, it has become as hard to answer for many people as an algebra problem, the kind some of us once sweated out in high school. Few topics have created more confusion and a firestorm of vitriol than the discussion of gender ideology. At the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI), we understand parents are desperate for answers, and we want to help. A regular JDFI contributor, Dr. Owen Strachan, who is provost and research professor of theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary, addresses the question of "What Is a Woman, According to God?" in his new essay. We wanted to make it easy to read and available to share with your family and friends, so we've designed it as a downloadable PDF.
