Episode Summary

Trials and tribulations are an immovable reality. Husbands, as leaders of their homes, must be equipped to guide their wives and families through these difficult waters without drowning. In this episode, Veronica and I confront the hard scriptural perspective Christians are called to have.

Many marriages crumble under the weight of earthly trials. Many wives are found emotionally and spiritually abandoned by husbands who are disengaged or unequipped to lead their wives through the difficult waters women are destined to face. In this conversation, Dale and Veronica Partridge confront and conform to the Bible’s perspective of trials and the husband’s role in leading their bride through them.
