We come to our final episode of the Renewing the Culture series. Today, we consider the last of four questions we encourage you and your spouse to ponder and discuss.

1. What is good that I can celebrate and protect?

2. What is missing that I can create and contribute to?

3. What is evil that I need to resist and oppose?

4. What is broken that I can help renew and restore?

As you consider this last question, where do you sense God calling you to act and get involved? How can God use you to build the Kingdom and renew the culture?

As we continue the series on renewing the culture, we come to the third question. What is evil that I need to resist and oppose? A tough question and maybe harder to do. We are called to bring down the strongholds of Satan. Is God calling you to be one of those who do this?

As Christ-followers, we are called to redeem/renew then culture we live in. The question is how? What can we do as individuals and groups that can make a difference? In the first episode last week, we discussed the question, "What is good that I can celebrate and protect?" In today's podcast, we will consider the question, "What is missing that I can create or contribute to?" As we go through this series ask God what you can do to help renew the culture we live in.

We live in a declining culture in the west. A civilization and culture that was buiklt on Judeo-Christain values has moved far away from it's roots.

Join us for the first part of a muti=part series on anwering the call to redeem the culture.

We live in a critical time for marriage in the USA. Marriage, as created by God, has been in a state of decline and is under attack by the culture. Join us today as we look at a few of the issues that have brought us to this point.

This is the final episode of our Marriage Check-Up series. Today we will consider a few final questions and a few tips as we finish up the series. How is your marriage doing?

Welcome to Marriage Check-Up Part 9. How is your relationship with your extended family? This may include siblings, in-laws, grandparents, and others. You married your spouse, but all your families are important. Are those relationships healthy or are they strained and difficult. How are they impacting your marriage? Can you talk about it with your spouse. You may thinbk you don't need to, but you do. It's another part or your marriage that you want to be the best it can be.

One of the biggest challenges for couples is raising godly children. To be successful, it's better with two parents working together as a team. God bless single parents, but that's not the ideal. How are you parenting as a team? Are you working together? Go through the questions we pose in today's podcast as we continue our marriage check-up.
