Authors, Speakers and Marriage Strategists, Billy & Yolanda Jackson, are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to “real life” marriage and family situations. They launched Live in Peace Ministries in 2016, and together they host seminars, workshops, conferences and retreats to equip and encourage married couples on their journey. Their mission is to help them build a legacy of love through stronger marriages. They believe that changing the world is possible one couple at a time through the transformational power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This episode gives a more personal look at the Jacksons, giving insight and hope for couples who struggle. Thanks again to Marriage Dynamics for giving them the tools needed to make a difference in not only their marriage, but for other husbands and wives too.

Billy and Yolanda have been married for 13 years and have a blended family of 4 beautiful children and 4 adorable grandchildren.
