Hi Friend!
It is a couple of days to Mother's Day here in Canada. In that light, I would be dedicating this episode to a special person and woman - my mother, Pastor Dr. Lillian Haastrup.
My mother has been and continues to be an influential figure in my life. It is to this end, I will be sharing with you today, 5 qualities of my mum that have shaped my marriage…
These qualities have made me a better man, husband & father.
I also want to use this opportunity to appreciate mothers. To all the mothers out there, I wish you a Happy Mother’s Day and I pray that your children will not cause you sorrow, but will be a blessing every day of your life and that your husbands will call you blessed in Jesus’ name, amen.
I pray this episode blesses you!

Hi friend!
Today, we will be starting a three-part episode series that highlights 3 life-changing verses from the bible to follow for better communication in marriage. These powerful scriptures have helped us in our marriage as we continue to grow stronger in love, connection, and intimacy as a couple.In our day-to-day lives, good communication is essential in order to get along with friends, family, colleagues at work, and other individuals we meet during our life's journey. Even though a lot of us are aware that our marriages can benefit when we communicate better with each other, many couples find themselves in heated arguments or conversations because they have not trained and armed themselves with the skills that would enable them to have civil conversations...conversations that will not result in regrets such as regrets for saying things they should not have said. Sadly, the lack of effective communication in marriage could eventually create distance between spouses if not addressed, further leading to more disconnection and stressful situations in marriage. This shows how important the role of communication is in our marriages.
In this episode, be prepared to discover ONE (1) life-changing bible verse that will help you improve your communication as a couple so you can add some more helpful and valuable tips to your communication toolbox, communicate better with each other, and grow stronger together in marriage over time!
So Get Ready...Set...Tune in to listen to find out more!
We pray this episode blesses you.

Hi friend,
Putting God first sounds like something we should all know but do we really put God first in our marriages? Take a moment to think about it. Is your focus more on each other than on God? When we put God at the Center of our marriages & as the focus, we see each other through His eyes and allow Him to lead the way. When we realize this, we will do marriage differently. In today's episode, we will look at what it means to put God first in our marriages and discover three ways to put God first in life and marriage.
Wishing you and yours a Happy Easter!!!

Hi friend,Have you ever wondered or silently asked yourself this question, "How can I communicate better with my spouse?" If so, you're not alone.
One of the ways we have strengthened our marriage and grown together as a team has involved communicating better with each other. The way we communicate or the manner in which we communicate with our spouses can either strengthen or weaken our connection in marriage. Communication is such a broad topic to discuss in one episode but today I will be sharing 3 communication blunders or mistakes to avoid for a stronger connection with your spouse. When these communication blunders are made from time to time, it becomes harder for spouses to connect with each other. This can eventually result in creating distance between spouses.
If your desire is to communicate to connect better with your spouse, then get ready to discover these three communication mistakes to avoid so you can enjoy a stronger bond & connection in marriage.

Hi friend,
Have you ever been stressed...struggled to concentrate...been less patient with your spouse and your kids? Do you feel tense, frustrated, and upset at things that would normally not make you feel upset? Then, you may be in need of a particular kind of care: Self-Care.
As parents, when our schedules are filled up with activities or things to do, the to-do-list continues to increase and there seems to be so much demand for our time and attention, especially in these modern times…with all of these going on, it is so easy to forget to do something: to take care of yourself.
It is time to stop putting self-care at the bottom of your priority list because you matter too and...to effectively take care of others (that includes your spouse, children and other loved ones), you need to take care of yourself.
In this episode, you will discover why creating a simple self-care routine is important + how to make time for self-care even if you're married with kids!
So, get ready...set...
Tune in to listen to find out more:)
