ADVICE
One thing I’ve learned in life and relationships is, it only works if you’re on the same page with pretty much everything - at least, all the main stuff: Money, Religion, Kids, and In-Laws. The #1 cause of divorce in America is money fights and money problems. There are lots of great resources for help and if you’re having any issues, please seek out help sooner rather than later so the odds of beating anything are in your favor! Below are some of my favorite life resources and I hope you find them helpful.
MARRIAGE RESOURCES
When it comes to any kind of advice, I encourage you to be extremely cautious of who you get advice from. This applies to all topics. Because quite frankly, there is a LOT of bad advice out there. Three of my top resources I recommend are below. Please check them out for issues related to life, marriage, dating, and kids. Get plugged in to the Facebook pages to help you begin improving your situation today!
In addition to any counseling you have going on, these 3 books are generally considered the best of the best in terms of helping couples get back on track. If you want to improve or save your marriage, these are THE BEST place to begin.

MONEY RESOURCES
For money, I believe Dave Ramsey is the best place to begin. He’s a straight shooter and gets right to the point which can be very helpful. I started listening to him in the summer of 2001 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made from a money standpoint.
I definitely recommend reading Financial Peace in order to get a handle on how to deal with your money and finances!

MISSONS
Part of the income I make from my jobs goes to support these amazing Christian ministries. If you’re looking for a place to donate your additional funds to, please consider one of these! I personally have met the Wretched team out of Atlanta GA and they are solid. Likewise Grace Community Church in Sun Valley CA is almost like a home church to me. Looking for some solid Bible based info? Check out GCC.
Wretched is an amazing Bible based TV and radio program that is entertaining and thought provoking. I stumbled across this show in 2013 while scanning random TV channels and have been a fan ever since. I was able to meet the team at an open air preaching session at the University of Georgia in 2017 and it was amazing.
Pre-Born is all about saving the lives of babies in the womb. I found out about this program through Wretched. They pay for Ultrasounds for mothers. A very worthwhile cause!
Grace Community Church located in Sun Valley California (just north of Los Angeles) is my go-to source for online sermons. I attended the church in person a few times and had had the pleasure of meeting Dr. John MacArthur as well. Their Christmas program is amazing!
Spreading the Gospel around the world through soccer balls. A great idea and easy way to get the message out!
Another amazing ministry that goes into the Ukraine and surrounding areas to set up Bible based clubs and help the locals.
