Summary

In a world where the currents of culture and the busyness of life can pull a marriage apart, how does a couple stay unified and on mission? It's easy to drift into living like roommates, a challenge Gabe and Rebekah know well. That's why they were so excited to sit down with their dear friends, David and Lori Benham. The Benhams share a powerful story of building a marriage that doesn't just survive cultural pressure, but thrives in the midst of it. In this conversation, they discuss the essential rhythms they've built to protect their connection, the importance of maintaining a Kingdom-first mindset, and the practical steps they take to ensure their family is a light in their community.
