Do you remember the excitement of early dating, the eagerness to welcome your new love into your life? Trent and Andrea Griffith remind us how easily that fades in marriage, but how crucial it is to reignite that spirit of welcome. In this episode, we explore Romans 15:7 and discover four powerful ways to welcome your spouse as Christ welcomed us, starting with joy. We discuss "The Prodigal Son" story, C.S. Lewis's insights on the eternal nature of individuals, and the powerful example of Jesus welcoming the "sinful woman" while being rejected by his host. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of seeing ourselves as welcomed by Christ, learn to extend that same grace to our spouses, and understand how true welcoming goes beyond mere politeness to recognizing the inherent value of every person. It's not about condoning sin but about offering forgiveness, believing in potential, and ultimately glorifying God through our relationships.
