For This Reason Podcast
Why did God say it is not good for man to be alone? What did He mean when He said a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife?

About B&F Ministry
"A bird and fish may fall in love, but where will they make a home?" The real question becomes how can two different people from two vastly differing perspectives love one another or simply just get along? Easy. Let God build your habitat and have dominion over it.
Opposites do attract, and thankfully so! Darrel & Sheree Hope are joining the movement to improve the status of covenant marriage. As marriage counselors, we define ourselves as advocates who are passionate about all things related to marriage. In fact, as marriage counselors (a.k.a. "relationship educators"), we focus on improving the health and status of marriages as our calling. We work on various levels to bring awareness and biblical application to a society plagued with conflict, infidelity, divorce and the difficulties of blending families.

Remember those hand me down jeans we used to get from our siblings, friends, or other extended family members? Some of us weren't so happy about receiving those items because they didn't always fit to flatter us. How could they? In time, they are molded to fit the lifestyle of its original owner and not us. Did you know the same thing happens with us internally? Did you know that awkward or lonely feeling you may be dealing with deep inside may not have anything to do with you and your own experiences? Join us as we discuss how are bodies are designed to carry the traumatic experiences of our relatives at least three generations back. With the help of Holy Spirit, those unflattering characteristics don't have to remain a part of your DNA. We look forward to you joining us and sharing your thoughts by leaving a comment or question below. Or you can email us at: bandf_ministry@outlook.com.

Looking for that feeling of butterflies in your stomach when it comes to a love connection? Look up! All roads lead back to our Father. God is love, and the love we desire comes from our heavenly Father. That includes our need for us to know love just like He does. As we have mentioned in previous podcasts, there are many revelations in that one reason God created this special relationship that we know as marriage. This week, we begin to discuss one of our revelations described in a chapter in our book, For This Reason. Find out how we can have the kind of marriage—on earth as it is in heaven. Let’s celebrate as we discuss the achievability of having the kind of relational union that is the mirror image of our Triune God.

What should we believe when it comes to love? Join us as we discuss the answers to these and more questions that tend to influence the way we date and how we choose our mates.
