This week, we are joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Doug Hinderer to discuss turning challenges into holiness, and how shifting from “scorekeeping” to sacrificial love can transform a struggling marriage.

We dive into the practical difference between holy sacrifice and unhealthy people-pleasing, exploring how to prioritize your spouse even amidst the exhausting demands of parenting. Doug shares how to view your spouse’s defects as opportunities for personal growth and offers guidance on navigating seasons of dryness with a commitment rooted in “total self-gift.” we hope this helps with turning challenges into holiness!
