    Embracing God’s Purpose for Your Marriage

    Date: Aug 22, 2023

    Guests: Debra Fileta

    Debra Fileta explains how marriage requires unconditional love and sacrifice, which in turn draws us closer to God as we are sculpted more in His image. She urges us to embrace a selfless “we”-mindset over the more common self-focused mindset.
