July 22 & 24 – Greg & Julie Gorman- Two Are Better Than One: God Has a Purpose for Your Marriage
What is God’s specific big idea for your marriage?

When fully embraced by both husband and wife, these truths will heal, restore, and deepen intimacy in every marriage. Yes, in every marriage, no matter the condition of the relationship. You’ll laugh at their fresh twist on some of your favorite Bible heroes and be surprised by many aha moments as they provide the pathway to uncover God’s big idea for your marriage.

July 29 & 31 – Edie Melson – While My Child is Away: My Prayers for When We Are Apart
Parents and children are separated for many reasons: divorce, school, camp, even work. It might be for just a few days or indefinitely. These prayers give voice to all that you are hoping for your child when you can’t be the one to meet their needs. Prayers of blessings, protection, instruction and grace. Or prayers for those around your child to choose wisely, see their needs, and love them as you would. Prayers for friends, teachers, coaches and mentors to step in and fill every need. Knowing that a loving Father God is caring for your child, even when you can’t, gives you the peace and assurance that all will be well.
As the mother of an active duty Marine, Edie understands what it is to face adversity and come out triumphant on the other side. Her years as a wife, mother, and ministry leader have given her a unique perspective to reach out to others facing the same struggles. She’s the Military Family Blogger for Guideposts.org, social media director for several writing websites, and a popular ministry and conference speaker. She lives in Simpsonville, South Carolina.
