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.

Aaron & Gwen Warwick's story is one that was definitely not “love at first sight” (in fact they were both suspicious of the other after that first encounter on the basketball court), but they eventually became good friends and started dating, and the rest is history! The couple has lived in Wichita, Kansas for the past 12 years, where Aaron pastors St Mary Orthodox Christian Church, and Gwen works as a nurse practitioner in cardio-thoracic surgery at Wesley Medical Center. They have four kids, ages 17, 15, (soon to be 13), and 11. The couple’s first introduction to Marriage Dynamics Institute was through Gwen’s parents, who took the Dynamic Marriage class at a church in Ohio. After leaving seminary for their parish assignment, the couple attended Dynamic Marriage training in San Diego about 10 years ago. Since that time they have offered multiple classes at their church. Their own marriage has been positively impacted by the lessons learned from the class, and they have no greater joy in ministry than seeing other couples transform their marriage through the classes.

In episode 22, we talk with our returning guest, Kevin Neuner from Spark Church, about parenting through deconstruction. It can be hard to talk about God, spirituality, and church as you’re reimagining or reconstructing your faith. We talk about being a sojourner alongside your kids rather than prescribing “right beliefs” and how children can be a valuable sage in our journey. Kevin draws on decades of studying the Rabbinic traditions and way of Jesus to invite us to a new posture for parenting.

I live for episodes like this. Michelle Peterson shares with us what it looks like to create dreams together as a couple, and four different ways you can support your partner in their dreams: Emotional Support Esteem Support Informational Support Tangible Support (actions) It's interviews like this that show me incredible ways to level-up my relationship. I hope you learn a lot and feel the same!
