Christmas has the reputation of being the most wonderful time of the year. But is it? In this episode Paul and Niki talk about why Christmas is their favorite time of year while exploring why many may not feel that way. Unfortunately, Christmas can be a time of loneliness and great heartache. With so much about Christmas seeming superficial, what can we hold onto during the holidays that really does bring "Great Joy" and "Peace" to our hearts.

In this podcast, Paul & Niki share a previously recorded interview that Paul gave on Savage Marriage Ministries podcast show with Phil Fretwell.  Paul and Phil talk about what real freedom looks like and how to get and maintain it in your life.  

Phil & Priscilla Fretwell are the founders of Savage Marriage Ministries.

In this podcast, Paul & Niki interview Phil & Priscilla Fretwell about their brand new book Savage Marriage.  This book is the true, raw, gut-wrenching journey of betrayal and healing of Phil and Priscilla’s marriage. Each, from their own perspectives, describe Phil’s confession of his secret betrayal that began with pornography but progressed to massage parlors, shattering their twenty-eight-year, picture-perfect marriage. Phil’s admission launched Priscilla into her own process of brokenness, self-discovery, and assessment. Their heart for humility, commitment, and spiritual intimacy accelerated their healing and deeply-rooted their relationship. Savage Marriage invites you into their intimate journey that led them to share openly with their family, friends, business associates, and a growing community of savage marriages.
