Summary

Relationships cannot exist unless there is forgiveness. It's hard to understand that we are forgiven but the only way we have a relationship with God is through forgiveness. Mark and Grace talk about how forgiveness is a gift that God gives for you to enjoy and then to share. In Season One, we're talking about spiritual warfare in marriage from Mark and Grace's book, Win Your War. A practical marriage, parenting, and relationship book that is grounded in the Word of God and focused on recognizing Satan’s role in your life. Mark and Grace Driscoll help you understand the power Jesus gives you to overcome the enemy’s attacks. We're giving our listeners a FREE CHAPTER of the book! All you have to do is text WINYOURWAR to 31996 and we'll send you a free chapter instantly!
