Is marriage the new idol in the church?
In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by my dear friend Andrea "Rocky" Nguyen, a former background dancer with 2 DUI's struggling to find her way, who gave her life to the Lord (repentance, celibacy, and a renewed perspective), and is now a happily married wife and mother advocating for discipleship in the church.
Together, we explore the subtle ways that believers (aka Christians) can honor the covenant of marriage without exalting it to the point of idolatry (just like money), and invite listeners to laugh with us as we unpack the nuances surrounding this topic.
