WHY DO SOME MARRIAGES FAIL?

In the last episode of the AIMS.ORG Podcast, I introduced you to some of my mentors in marriage, Dr. David and Raquel Lazo (leaders of Unidos En Amor Marriage Ministry). We received such positive feedback from our listeners that we decided to create a BONUS episode to discuss five reasons marriages fail. By understanding what makes a marriage unsuccessful, you will know what to do in order for your marriage to be successful. Let’s dive in and learn how to have marriages that bring glory to God.
 

HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY MARRIAGE THAT TRANSFORMS CULTURES

What if I told you that the health of your marriage matters even more than you realize? Think about this - if there’s a godly marriage, there can be a godly family. And if there are godly families, societies can be transformed. In other words – your marriage can affect entire cultures! In this episode, you’ll meet my mentors in marriage, Dr. David and Raquel Lazo – leaders of a global ministry (Unidos En Amor) that empowers others to have kingdom marriages. As you listen to their wise advice and entertaining stories, you’ll gain tools you need to have a fulfilling relationship that brings glory to God.
 

SPIRITUAL GIFTS - DO YOU WANT THEM?

Recently, the Lord asked me a question that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. He said, “What are you earnestly desiring?”
If you’re anything like me, this question might bring to mind longings about family, finances, health, ministry, work… But what about spiritual gifts? In 1 Corinthians 12:31 and 14:1, we are told to “EARNESTLY DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS,” yet few of us consider the importance of these gifts in our everyday lives.
In this episode, we will dive into the topic of why we need spiritual gifts and how to earnestly desire them.

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP

An African proverb says, “If you want to go fast - go alone; if you want to go far – go together.” These simple words speak of the power of partnership, and if there’s one principle I wish I’d embraced earlier in ministry – this is it.
In this episode, you’ll glean from Greg Mayo, Overseer of the Heartlink Network of Cornerstone Churches, about how you can accomplish exponentially more for God’s kingdom by working with others towards a common goal than by doing it alone. As you apply this fundamental value to your life in areas of business, sports, government, family, church, and among the nations, God will multiply your efforts and your impact!
 

LAST WORDS - A TRIBUTE TO DR. HOWARD FOLTZ

There is something sacred about a man’s last words… As I type this, my heart is still raw with emotion remembering my mentor and friend, Dr. Howard Foltz, who recently moved from earth to heaven. In his final hours, he commissioned me with whispers that will mark my life forever. I invite you into my last exchange with Howard, praying that his words will challenge and inspire you. But most of all, I pray that as you hear the last words of Jesus from Acts 1:8 with fresh ears, you will be compelled to take action, be a witness, and make a difference in eternity.
 

A TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST THAT FANNED FLAMES FOR WORSHIP

What a trip! New Middle-Eastern missionaries trained, memorable street evangelism among unique cultures, and life-changing times of worship in another language that brought us to our knees. While journeying throughout two different countries, one thing was glaringly evident: God is calling forth worship from among the NATIONS. As you listen to this episode, imagine walking with us down the streets of the old-world market, sipping hot tea, and gaining a deeper brokenness for the WHOLE WORLD that Jesus died for. And may you long for the kind of worship around God’s throne from every nation, tribe, and tongue described in Revelation 7:9.
