So we’re continuing our 4-part series on Dale’s New Book Real Christianity: How to be bold for Christ in a culture of darkness.If you missed last week’s episode we are are covering all eight chapters in a 2-per-show format. We’re not actually talking much about the content of the book as we are building on the content of the book. So don’t feel that if you listened to these episodes there is no reason to buy the book. There’s lots of meat in this little book that we’re not discussing here on the show.I wanted to read a few reviews that I saw on Good Reads and Amazon just to let you hear what other people are saying about this book.This from Amanda Thomas: “Get this book, it will change your life by changing your heart. It’s a must have. No matter where you are, or what you have been through, what you have done, or where you find yourself in life. It does not matter. You need what is written here, everyone does. I’m going to get a copy for everyone I know this year for Christmas. It’s really that good.”Alisha says, “ This book is 5 inches wide, 7 inches tall, and 10 feet deep. A must read.I agree with these comments. I think this is a short and powerful book that is worth adding to your library.So we covered chapter one and two in the previous episode. Today we are tackling chapters 3-4. Chapter 3 is titled “Dedication and Death” and we get to discuss the idea of an altar in Scripture. Dale, this title can seem to be a bit intense. Can you tell us both what you mean and where you got this idea of dying and dedicating yourself to God?So this is one of my favorite chapters in the book. I’m not going to talk about much of the content from the chapter but I am going to add to the discussion I already started in this chapter.In the book, I argue that many in the church have confused the altar call of a softly strummed guitar where God accepts you as you are without the biblical call for repentance and death.We have to remember, an altar in the Scriptures is not a friendly place. It’s a place covered in blood. In the Old Testament it was a stack of stones. In the New Testament it was a wooden cross. Today, we have lost what it means to come to the altar.Instead of dying and repenting, We are made comfortable to remain how we are and who we are. That is not the narrative of the Gospel that a Jesus presents.So let’s talk about this idea of dedication and death. This is not a rare theme found in the New Testament. In fact, it’s everywhere. I’m going to read you a few passages that display this idea for our understanding.Romans 12:1 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies (dedication) as a living sacrifice (death), holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”Galatians 5:24 “And those who belong to Christ Jesus (dedication) have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.(death)”Matthew 16:25 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life (death) for My sake (dedication) will find it.”Colossians 3:3 "For you have died (death), and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Dedication)”Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ (death); it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God (dedication), who loved me and gave Himself for me.”This entire concept of dying to the flesh or “picking up our cross” as Jesus would say is the first part of a two-part process.Death is related to repentance while dedication is related to belief and devotion and obedience. Jesus and John the baptist would often say, “Repent and believe.” Again, this follows the pattern of die to yourself and dedicate yourself to Christ. Turn from your sin and turn to Christ!But Jesus adds another element to this discussion of death and dedication. We can’t just discipline ourselves to change our behavior and religiously dedicate ourselves to his preferred demeanor.This death and dedication isn’t merely religious behavior modification. It’s supernatural rebirth. It’s regeneration.He says we must be born again. As you heard in my recent episode on self-love. None of us are born right and that’s why be must be born again. But what does it mean to be born again? Also, what is Jesus really talking about when He says we need to be be born again?John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”So this is a story of Nicodemus asking an obvious question to the claims and ministry of Jesus,Basically, he’s saying, “You talk about the kingdom of God being near. How do you enjoy or see or experience this Kingdom?”To which Jesus answers with verse 3This is a big statement because the Jews thought their birth in the line of Abraham as Abraham’s seed was sufficient.This is why Jesus said in Matthew 3:9 “And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able fr

Does the Bible teach parents to outsource the spiritual training of their children to someone else? Do we see the idea of Sunday school anywhere in Scripture? In this episode, Dale Partridge pits this popular church practice against the Bible and helps parents determine if what they’re doing is actually wise.

What does it mean for a man to lead his family spiritually? So many men fail to take up their role as a spiritual leader simply because they struggle to understand what that role entails and how to practically walk it out. So in today’s episode, Dale shares his personal eight steps for becoming the spiritual leader of your home in hopes that it can give other men a practical plan for stepping into their biblical role. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

Our theology is our defined view of God, which means we all have a theology. So in today’s episode, our conversation is going to help you understand if the theology you already have is, in fact, a sound and biblical theology. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible Books Mentioned in This Episode: Love Your God with all your mind by J.P.

Many Christians have most likely placed themselves under a pastor without evaluating if they meet the Bible’s criteria for such a role. It’s likely because we confuse spiritual gifting with spiritual qualifications. This is where many have been deceived today. So in today’s episode, Dale and Veronica will help you understand the biblical qualifications of a pastor, so you can assess if you are being shepherded by someone who meets God's criteria.​ **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

A congregation learns their theology not only by the preaching they hear but by the songs they sing. This is why we must follow Paul's example in 1 Corinthians 14:15 when he says, "I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.” Both Jesus and Paul teach Christians that there is a proper way to worship and sing to the Lord; We are to do it in spirit with truth and with understanding. We are not to sing songs to God that we do not understand, because if we do not understand them, how can we determine if they are truthful? In this episode, Dale and Veronica tackle the topic of what today's culture has identified as "worship music" and how it is teaching false doctrine. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

The Bible is clear, your marriage and my marriage is a mirror of the Gospel. This idea is clearly explained in Ephesians chapter five; Husbands are to be like Christ in the way He loves the church, and wives are to be like the church in the way they respect and honor Christ. In other words, human marriage is the earthly image of God's divine plan for humanity. So why then is the idea of incompatibility in marriage such a common notion? In this episode, Dale and Veronica will address the idea of incompatibility in marriage and replace this wrong way of thinking with truth from the Bible. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

Sabbath, as we will learn today, is a symbolic picture of God’s ultimate plan. In other words, we will see that Sabbath is the goal of history. Like many of His truths, from the Old Testament festivals and Passover to New Testament communion, God offers us physical practices to teach us spiritual realities. So in this episode, we’re going briefly trace Sabbath throughout the Scriptures. We're going to first see His purpose for Sabbath as a pattern for His people, and then also see His picture for Sabbath. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

The victims of spiritual warfare are those who are untrained, unprepared, and unwilling. If you are tired of being wounded by spiritual attacks, then knowing how to put on the Armor of God is your solution. In this episode, Dale and Veronica walk through a biblical study of the Armor of God and how to practically apply it to your life. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

A biblical community is the natural result of people behaving and thinking like Jesus. Biblical community is not a culture that is friendly to the flesh; It’s a spiritual culture. Many Christians say they desire a biblical community, so in this episode, Dale and Veronica present what it truly takes in order to create it, and an opportunity for you to examine if you would thrive in or end up leaving a biblical community. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

The enemy is taking advantage of this generation's biblical ignorance and illiteracy. We’re so preoccupied with the American dream (career, hobbies, vacations, family) that we’ve neglected the Christian call. We’re not only biblically illiterate, but we’re also vandalists; We don’t just ignore the Word of God, we try to alter it to fit our emotional desires. This is why in today's episode, Dale and Veronica discuss why Christians must study their Bible and not just read it. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

Over the years, I've heard these words echoed throughout the pulpit, "The Lord tells us to bring our tithes to the storehouse!" But what is a tithe? The dictionary defines the word as “a tenth part of something paid as a voluntary contribution for the support of a religious establishment.” But does this idea of giving 10% of your income to the church exist in the Bible? Do we ever see New Testament Christians tithing? The answer to both of these questions is: No. In this week's episode, Dale expands on his previously written article "Why Tithing is Biblical, but It's Not Christian." **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

While most Christians are decidedly pro-life, there are still many who claim the name of Christ yet actually identify as pro-choice. There’s an additional group of people in the church who simply sit in the middle—they say things like, “I would never wish a mother to abort her baby but I’m not going to make it illegal for her to do so.” In today's episode, Dale and Veronica discuss why you can’t be Christian and Pro-Choice but also why you can’t simply be anti-abortion and why we must, as Christians, be pro-life. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

As more Christians begin to see the church as a place to go and consume rather than a place to join and contribute, the question of purposeful and committed attendance arises. But how should we view “going to church?” What does the Bible say about this topic? In this episode, Dale and Veronica reveal the broken state of the audience-centric church and provide critical scripture references to rebuild a healthy view of God’s gathering. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

In this episode, Dale and Veronica unpack two questions: The first is on denominations and the second is on practical steps for furthering your spiritual maturity. In terms of denominations, many people are curious to why there are so many sects in the Christian church—Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, etc. Many wonder if denominations are sacred or sinful? Do all denominations lead people to heaven? Together, Dale and Veronica look at Scripture to provide answers to these important questions. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

As culture continues to influence the church more than the church influences the culture, more and more Christians are finding themselves adopting the world’s view of sex. Now, most Christians know that premarital sex is sinful, but why? What does the Bible actually say regarding sex before marriage? In this episode, Dale and Veronica look at a variety of Scriptures and put together a basic framework for how the Bible views sex inside and outside of marriage. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

In this episode, we answer two common questions. First, we address the difficulty of maintaining a consistent Bible reading and prayer time. In our over-stimulated lives, this discipline seems to be more and more challenging to Christians of this generation. Next, we tackle the dilemma of Christian singleness. Many Christians desire to be married but are frustrated with the lack of mature Christian options. Together, Dale and Veronica offer their perspective and offer a few tips on walking out singleness well. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

Christians around the world are struggling to find a local church that meets their spiritual needs. But how should we be evaluating a church? What makes one church community more fruitful than another? In this episode, Dale and Veronica look at seven scripturally-centered criteria that can help you determine if your church is a fruitful church. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

More and more women are asking the question about public breastfeeding. Is it modest and practical or shameful and private?

When it comes to the woman’s role at church, many seem to be confused—and for good reason. There seems to be a gap between what is written in the Bible and what we are seeing walked out in churches across America. Should women be preaching at church gatherings? Should women be pastors or elders over a congregation? These are valid questions that must be answered by evaluating the Scriptures. Together, in this episode, Dale and Veronica present their biblical interpretation of the woman’s role in the local church.

As resurrection Sunday approaches, Christians around the world take time to recount the final events of Jesus’s life. But why is Jesus rising from the grave so important to the Christian faith?

The way someone handles material wealth is a barometer of their spiritual health. The Bible is not silent about how we are to view and manage our money and possessions. In fact, the Bible talks about money and possessions more than almost any other topic. In this episode, Dale and Veronica discuss not just how Christians should view and handle wealth but more specifically, how pastors should carry themselves in this critical territory. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

Manhood is being attacked on two major fronts in our culture. First, feminism seeks to eliminate all distinctions and authority of men, husbands, and fathers. “Women can do everything that men can do” they shout. But, just because they can do what men do doesn’t mean that they should do what men do. The second front is through the gross lack of training and discipleship offered to boys in our culture. In this episode, Dale and Veronica discuss the landscape of the gender war and what the Bible says regarding manhood. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

Womanhood has been twisted and distorted. The Bible, however, offers God’s original design for women, their role, and their character. In this episode, Dale and Veronica breakdown three culturally-resisted roles of biblical womanhood—the helper, submission, and modesty. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

In the wake of International Women's Day and a flood of various definitions of womanhood, Dale and Veronica thought it was important to clarify the Bible's instruction for feminine roles, character, and behavior women. In this first episode of a two-part series, the Partridge's break down four verses that piece together a portion of what it means to be a Christian woman. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

"Only God can judge me" and "We're not called to judge but to love" are popular phrases in the Western church. But what does the Bible say about judging people? Is it a forbidden practice or an essential part of a healthy Christian community? In this episode, Dale and Veronica tackle if, when, how, and why a Christian should judge another Christian. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

We base our eternity, our values, our morals, and our way of life on the words of the Bible. But what if the words in your Bible aren't the same words in the original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures? What if the translation you're reading hasn't been translated word for word but instead was interpreted concept for concept? Sadly many modern Bibles are not accurate translations of the original texts. In this episode, Dale and Veronica discuss the importance of choosing a reliable translation of the Bible. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible

Throughout church history, we see Christian men taking their hats off during prayer and Christian women putting hats (veils, bonnets, etc) on during prayer. The practice is derived from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and is found in the opening text of chapter eleven. However, in the modern church, this practice is kept by the men but not by the women. In this episode, Dale and Veronica look at this passage to understand what it’s truly instructing.

Less than 5% of Christians share the Gospel with one person per year. 76% of Christians do not know the mission of the Church (The Great Commission). But why? Sadly, many Christians are unequipped and untrained to share their faith. In addition, the church has taught us to outsource this work to the professional pastors—simply invite your friends to church and they will do it for us. However, is this the biblical instruction? No. In this episode, Dale and Veronica look at the Bible's expectation for sharing the Gospel. **Follow us on Social Media: https://instagram.com/dalepartridge/ https://instagram.com/veronicaipartridge/ https://www.instagram.com/ultimatemarriages/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/relearnchurch/?hl=en Plant a House Church: https://RelearnChurch.org Ultimate Marriage: https://UltimateMarriage.com Marriage Mentor Program: https://ultimatemarriage.com/notify Marriage Retreat: http://ultimatemarriage.com/retreat One-Year Bible Reading Plan: https://ultimatemarriage.com/bible
