Where is your marriage? Newly married, in a rut, coming off a major transition, or coming out of a period of crisis or conflict? Regardless of your situation, it’s never too early—or too late, for that matter—to build habits that will strengthen and grow your marriage. Forming habits is inevitable, but intentionality can make it beneficial.
Counselor and pastor Brad Hambrick encourages couples at all stages to intentionally adopt five core practices to help foster healthy, God-honoring rhythms of communication and care. Learning how to steward time, money, and community, practicing healthy self-care, avoiding criticism and defensiveness, seeking to know your spouse deeply, and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to grow are just some of the wisdom gifts from God that will help deepen your relationship and also call you into a deeper walk with Jesus.

Do I Need Counseling?: When and Where to Get Help (Robert D. Jones)
Are your personal or relational problems overwhelming you, negatively impacting your daily life or relationships? While all of us face the common pressures of living in a broken world, sometimes those challenges become too much to handle alone, and they hinder us from effectively functioning the way God designed. It could be that your normal avenues of informal one-another care from your church seem insufficient, and you need a trained counselor to help you. These are all times when you could benefit from focused help.
Counselor and pastor Robert D. Jones helps you evaluate what type of assistance you may need as you face a variety of challenges and guides you in better understanding what biblical counseling is and what key priorities biblical counselors pursue. He then guides you in where to look for biblical counseling and answers some common questions about the counseling process so that you can get the most benefit from it.
Quick fixes fail, but Jones shows how, through the gospel, we can learn God-centered contentment each day.

Obsessed with Your Phone: Disconnecting to Connect (William P. Smith)
Do you own your smartphone, or does it own you? How quickly do you pick it up in the morning? Do you check it multiple times an hour to make sure you know what’s going on in the world? Do you find yourself turning to it first when you’re sad, angry, or upset?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone. Why do our phones consume us?
William P. Smith examines the why behind smartphone obsession and uncovers its connection to our desires for significance, belonging, security, and entertainment. The solution is not “more self control” but to experience the true soul satisfaction that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Helping Children with Shame (Edward T. Welch)
Shame is the experience of feeling unacceptable, less than others, or different. Children often experience the sting of this particular sense of failing to measure up. Whether this heavy feeling comes from internal or external pressures, children need help to understand what to do with their feelings of inadequacy and rejection.
Counselor and author Edward T. Welch helps counselors and parents see how shame is addressed in Scripture and how the Lord looks on struggling children with compassion and acceptance. He demonstrates how to connect a child’s story of shame to the themes of Scripture so that a child can put words to his or her experience and see that Jesus knows our name, clothes us with dignity, and gives us his reputation.

For Better or Worse: When Disability Challenges Your Marriage (Joni & friends)
Disability has a way of trying even the best of marriages. The cumulative effects of daily routines that never vary, social isolation, financial pressures, unmet expectations, and a life that is vastly different from most couples can wear on the spirits of the strongest husband and wife.
Without Christ firmly in the center of the suffering, a spouse can crack under the pressure that disability brings to the marriage.
Ken Tada, husband to Joni Eareckson Tada, shares that disability does not have to be the defining word in your marriage. Instead disability is an invitation for you and your spouse to depend on Jesus in your weakness and grow closer to each other than you ever thought possible.
