Should marriage start with the assumption that it's essentially a business?
That's a shocking thing to hear for our modern, western ears.
But Adam Lane Smith is right.
Family is supposed to be a productive enterprise.
It's only recently that we've taken all productivity out of the home and become such hyper-individualized atomic units, separated from each other.
In this episode, I argue for God's original design for marriage, and give you 3 dynamics that substantially increase the likelihood you'll stay married in an amazing, godly union.
[This is Part 3 of our Family Team Foundations Series.]
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:09 Marriage as a business?
7:51 I was confused about marriage
9:58 Lasting Marriage Tip 1
14:42 Lasting Marriage Tip 2
21:23 Lasting Marriage Tip 3

Money is such a contentious issue. In the world at large, but specifically within the Christian community.
The love of money is the root of all evil...but does that mean making money is wrong?
Do I really need to tithe 10%?
Is budgeting a lack of trust in God?
There's a million questions that end up becoming quite theological, and it can be tough to find God's peace in the whole conversation.
That's why we brought on Bob Lotich, from Seed Time, to give us an overview from his experience and perspective as a Christian financial expert, on how families can think about money from a Christian perspective and not get totally overwhelmed in the process.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:23 How does a Christian family approach finances differently?
3:37 Avoiding the financial and spiritual ditches
9:39 God-first finances
19:01 Income and Expenses Imbalance
24:31 The biblical tension with wealth
31:04 Real Money Math Budgeting
