“If we could have our focus and attention on God and others, doing all things in love, that would bring total transformation to every aspect of our lives, our churches, communities and societies.”

Today Aubrie sits down with her boss, our Director of Communications, Susan Tou to dig into 1 Corinthians 8. God has given us the amazing gift of community and walking in faith alongside other believers. It is important to be aware of our thought life and how we are living because it not only affects us, but can either encourage or discourage our fellow believers. Let’s walk in a way that blesses others and brings glory to God!

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Susan is the Director of Communications for Moms in Prayer International. Her background includes engineering, business, training, health/fitness and has over a decade of corporate experience. She participated in Moms in Prayer during the elementary school years for her now adult daughter and son. Suddenly widowed in December 2020, she knows well the demands of being a full-time working mom, stay-at-home mom, part-time working mom, empty nest mom, and now depends even more deeply on the Lord as a single mom. She is incredibly blessed to be the mom to her amazing, prayed-for children who inspire her every day. Susan is honored and humbled to serve, steward and pray in this global ministry which truly seeks to bring God glory through the power of prayer.

“Marriage is about a mutual giving ourselves up for our spouse just as Jesus gave Himself up for us.”

Marriage is often full of sacrifice, but also with so many good gifts from God! Today Aubrie sits down with her pastor and his wife, Nathanael and Melissa King, to dig into 1 Corinthians 7 which is all about marriage, sex and divorce. Nathanael and Melissa share wisdom on how we can have thriving marriages and what it looks like when we may be navigating difficult circumstances.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Nathanael has been blessed to be married to Melissa since 2006, and together with their children they live in California. They have four boys, and one little princess: Nehemiah, Elijah, Isaiah, Micaiah, and Charis. Nathanael has a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Biola University, and a M.Div. in Pastoral Studies from Talbot School of Theology. He has served in ministry for around 25 years and enjoys leading the teaching team as a Pastor-Elder at Temecula Hills.

He is passionate about seeing people become dynamic followers of Jesus Christ who take the New Testament vision of discipleship seriously, and he desires to help them develop a Christian worldview that encompasses their whole lives and leads to real, daily transformed living. He enjoys spending time with his wife and children, reading about theology and philosophy, playing guitar, playing games, and talking and laughing with friends.

SCRIPTURES

And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. Matthew 19:3-8 ESV

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 1 Peter 3:1-2 ESV
