I was born with a gift. I was born with the gift of having only one hand. Nobody is born average.

If I refuse to let circumstances define me, I'm going to define my circumstances. You'll never

make an impact unless you're committed to the collision. Dear young married couple, you're in

a busy season of your life. You're probably working and involved in ministry.

On top of that, you might even be parents or students. You're maxed, but you really want to stay

connected in your marriage. And that's why we're bringing this podcast to you. I'm Adam King.

And I'm Carissa King, and we work with busy couples just like you

in our counseling office here in Sacramento, California. We also work with couples all over the

world through online counseling and our couples are really just looking for ways to communicate

with each other more effectively. Some of them are looking to heal from a breach and trust

or find direction in fulfilling the purpose that God has for them.

So come and join us as we have a conversation. We'll talk with therapists, authors, pastors, and other

couples who will pour into us, giving us tools to become more intimately connected, get adventurous,

and find purpose.

Welcome to the dear young married couple podcast. This episode will be on Living Above Average with Darren Sargent. And Darren Sargent is an author, a motivational

speaker, and also the director of Ministry Central for the UPCI.

He has been a pastor. He's also been an influence in our lives from a young age. So we respect

him. We're excited to have him on the podcast today. Yes. And he also has his MA in Christian leadership

from Hope International University. So he has a lot of things to give to us today.

Yes, and such a unique perspective, too.

You'll hear him talk about how he was born with one arm

and how it has been pivotal for his development
