Thanks for checking us out. This show is about wow we as christians are to live life. Scriptures tells us that our number one thing we are supposed to do is to first Love God with all our hearts and all our minds and all our souls. Then we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. I mean come on that was over 2000 years ago, what does that look like today? In this show, we are going to tackle some of the difficult topics for us today. Including Loving others, Living our lives dedicated to God.... and that includes our finances and our possessions. Thanks for doing us and I pray that in some small way you are blessed today. ~ Steve

Praying for your Wife | Day 1: Your Heart and Leadership... Revisited
In Day 1 – Praying to Be the Husband She Needs, Steve launches the 7-day journey by looking in the mirror. Before praying for your wife’s heart, God calls you to let Him shape yours. Through Scripture, humor, and raw honesty, Steve unpacks what it means to love like Christ, to see your wife as a divine gift — not a problem to solve — and to lead with humility and strength.

Steve & Becky have been together since High School and were married a few years after graduation. They have four amazing kids and 4 equally amazing grand-kids.
Steve's prayer is to encourage men in their everyday lives, give them hope and direction to be Godly men, better husbands and better fathers.
In high school, my mom used to listen to a 10 minute devotional before the bus came. If we heard Robert Cook saying, "Walk with the king today and be a blessing." we knew we were running late.
