S1E7: Encourage Other Couples on Their Marital Journey

On Episode #7 of the FM Podcast, we hear some more from a recent marriage conference session where Scott and Dawn Smith spoke about the importance of encouraging other couples on their marital journey. 

The Smiths have been investing in other marriages for over 20 years now in ministry. This is what they do for a living and are passionate about it! But they encourage us that investing in other marriages doesn't have to be reserved for pastors and church leaders alone. The Smiths explain that the work of marriage ministry can and should be done by Christ followers like you and me. They explain the necessity to be diligent in the church to invest in marriages.

They discuss other things like:

• The principal in God's word of sowing and reaping (see 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 & Galatians 6:6-10).
• Offering comfort to another couple with the comfort you yourselves have received from God (see 2 Corinthians 1:3-7).
• We grow spiritually by serving and investing in other marriages is one way to do that.

We encourage you to consider these questions after listening:

• How can you and your spouse sow seeds of life into the lives of another couple?? 
• Has God done a work in your marriage that you can now share with someone else for their encouragement and help?
