Bob Lepine: Making Your Marriage Your Primary Ministry
In this episode, Dave Harvey interviews Bob Lepine about his new book, Building a Stronger Marriage: The Art of Oneness. Many pastors sacrifice marriage and family for ministry. Bob and Dave offer practical solutions to common issues that can derail a pastor's marriage.
"So the question about our past is not who can we blame for our past, but how can our past events give us understanding in our present moment so that we can live rightly before God." - Bob Lepine
"The past is significant, but not causal." - David Powlison
