Tweetables: It’s about rearranging our priorities. If we’re gonna have a strong marriage the foundation really has to be that God is that center. - Chris
God didn’t call my wife to be a follower of me. God called my wife to be a follower of Him. - ChrisThere is definitely a need to align the priorities based on your marriage so that you can function to the best of your ability for God’s glory. - Chris
If we’re going two different directions, the marriage isn’t going to work. It creates friction and then that friction turns to miscommunication and it just snowballs after that. - MJ
It came down to the need to be humbled and figure out what we want out of life. What are our dreams? What are our hopes? What is our future? Do we have a future together? Do we have goals? And we started setting little goals. Once we started setting those little goals we found there was a realignment of our direction. We’ve learned to work within our differences to realign to one single direction. -Chris
There’s always restoration. There’s always hope. But we never want to get to the point where we are mistrusting our spouse. - Chris

Surviving Chaos Eps. 01 -Forgiving the Nightmare
We had the pleasure and opportunity to interview Mark Sowersby; Pastor, father, husband, and author of the book, Forgiving the Nightmare. Below is a brief bio of our special guest. Reverend Mark Sowersby has been married to his wonderful wife Jennifer for 19 years and is the father of four children. Mark has been an ordained minister with Assembly of God for over 25 years and is currently the Pastor of Calvary Community Church in Dudley, MA. Pastor Mark holds a BA in theology from Zion Bible College/Northpoint Bible College. In 2019 Pastor Mark went through a time of great healing. He began speaking about the experiences of his past and God’s grace and the transformational work of forgiveness in his life. He now speaks about his story through his ministry, Forgiving The Nightmare. When he isn’t serving his congregation and his community through ministry, teaching, and support, you can find him on all the trails and lakes in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Upstate New York, spending time with his family.

09. How do I forgive myself?
Forgiveness doesn't come easy, especially when it's the need to forgive yourself. It's easy to beat yourself up and refuse to let go of the things which hold you back from experiencing true peace from God.
In this episode, Chris & Lanny explore the power of forgiving yourself and the freedom which comes from forgiveness.
Join the conversation twice a month as we explore, explain, and encourage each other by discovering what the Bible has to say about our deepest struggles in faith.
