What about when we are weary in the “wilderness” experiences life can bring? Is the Lord really at work in these seasons that can seem dry and barren? How do we keep on going? What about when the enemy’s attacks seem relentless; would it be easier to just back away from the “front lines” of following Jesus in abandonment? Would we really miss out on that much?

On today’s episode of as we press, I am sitting down with John and Alicia McMurray as we talk through these different questions in regards to life and relationships. John and Alicia share of the Lord’s great work of preparation in both of their lives, how they navigated through their “wilderness seasons”, God’s strategic placement of friends and family in their lives and how God redeemed and restored in a way that caught them both by surprise.

How can we walk life in a way that glorifies and honors God when our world and we, ourselves, become "undone"? How do we ground ourselves upon His word, in preparation for whatever might come our way?

Jamin brings much gospel-centered wisdom coupled with deep transparency as he shares from his own life and what God continues to teach him.

If someone asked, "How is your marriage?"  how would you respond? In today's episode of as we press, we are diving into this series on relationships from the husband's perspective.  How can we learn to love our spouse well?  How do we balance being transparent in our marriage while also maintaining trust with our spouse?  Is there a practical way to gauge and navigate this balance?  What impact does the gospel have upon our marriages?  What is the biblical role of the husband and how can wives come alongside them?   What is important for wives to know from their husband?

What do you currently find yourself waiting for right now? It can be so easy for us to feel like our lives are “on hold” while we wait; for our “waiting” to become our focus, all that we see. We are kicking off our relationship series by sitting down with katy anderson. We are talking about singleness and how we can learn to wait well in a way that glorifies God. What does this look like in our day to day? How can we keep the focus of our “wait” from occupying our minds and becoming an idol?

On today's episode we are sitting down with Janet Anglin and talking about grace. Janet is a pastor's wife and transparently shares how God kindly opened her eyes to experience His daily grace in a new way. In this episode we are discussing what grace is, how to practically shift from a "doing" for God into a resting in His Spirit to work and accomplish what He desires.

Putting feet to our faith is not an easy venture. Theresa Mills graciously shares from her deep loss on how the Lord met, ministered and empowers her to "go and do likewise" in the lives of others.
