Communication is the heartbeat to any healthy relationship, but what happens when conflict arises? In this final episode of the Built to Last series, Pastor Josh and Melissa are joined by two great friends and warriors in the faith Steven and Stephie Clement.

Come for the truth bombs and biblical wisdom on how to handle conflict within a marriage well. But be sure to STAY for some powerful testimony of what this looks like lived out in real life. This one is a can't-miss!

Back to school is always an exciting new start for both parents and kids! Naturally, we begin with great motivation and intention. But how do we stay consistent in these efforts? And what is the purpose of it all anyway?

In this episode, Pastor Josh and Melissa discuss where our identity, purpose, and calling can always be found...in Jesus! Regardless of latest trends, new school years, or just the trials of life, Isaiah 43:1 rings true. He calls us by name and we are His witnesses!

The proposal, the wedding day, and learning to grow in Christ as a married couple. In this latest episode, Josh and Melissa dive into their relationship testimony for Our Story:Part Two. While life can bring some unimaginable highs, and painful lows, one constant remains; Jesus!

For the first time, Josh & Melissa are sharing their relationship testimony together; the good, the broken, and the beautiful. Don't miss the moment when their marriage changed forever at a strip club in Richmond, Virginia - it all started with one act of obedience that had an INCREDIBLE ripple effect!

Living with purpose in your single season. Singleness does not have to be a time of preparation, searching, and dread. It was never meant to be a "second-class" season of life. Instead, it's sacred and powerful when fully devoted to Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Josh and Melissa are joined by Jayson Martin & Trevor Ruble...both young men who are in a stage of single/dating. We tackled some tough questions that young singles are facing right now: p**nography, lust, comparison, non-negotiables, and pressures even from the church.

Jayson is a senior at Liberty University majoring in finance. He was introduced to Jesus by Trevor in 2021 and has been attending and volunteering at his church ever since. Trevor plays basketball at Cedarville University and majoring in psychology. His goal is to pursue a career in college coaching. Trevor grew up in a solid Christian home, he's currently involved in the local church, and takes part in multiple men's Bible studies.

Marriage is more than just a contract....it's a covenant before the Lord. God is the one that ordained marriage from the beginning. While society may look to change its importance, foundation, and meaning, God always meant for it to be a picture of Christ's love for His church and the covenant He established.

In this episode, Pastor Josh and Melissa are joined by two Holy-Spirit filled friends Robert and Emily Krause.

Robert and Emily met in China in 2006. After serving together on the mission field, they married and continued in their calling. Their journey together has taken them around the world, including South Africa and Zambia where they worked with orphans and led teams in ministry. Now in Roanoke, Virginia, Robert works as a business analyst in the tech industry, and Emily serves as a reading remediator at a local elementary school.
Married for nearly 18 years, Robert and Emily are raising three very cool kids — Ben (16), Abigail (14), and Mary (10). The ins and outs of life have rooted their marriage in a strong commitment to each other, all the while still learning what it takes. It’s a journey that is worth it! They love sharing what they’ve learned along the way and the purpose marriage brings.

Before meeting "the one" we should examine how well we know The One. In this episode Pastor Josh and Melissa are joined by special guest Dr. Douglas FC Keffer to discuss how to build your foundation in Christ before building a life with someone else. God doesn’t complete you with a spouse—He completes you in Him.

Dr Douglas FC Keffer spent nearly 3 decades in Christian counseling in Roanoke, Virginia as well as 20+ years in pastoral ministry. He now has a weekly podcast, New Beginnings Start Today (link below) as well as a book entitled "New Beginnings Start Today...With God" (link below).

When we face a battle, especially when fear is involved, how do we respond? Do we operate based off of feelings or do we truly surrender the battle to the Lord? In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat has a multitude coming against him. How he responds is EPIC! His immediate actions give us a great example of what it looks like to die to self, step out of the way, and allow the Lord to fight.
