    I just wanted to let you know that we are listening to your Love Song series with our son and his girlfriend. We’ve completed the first two and are really enjoying them! They are prompting some good conversation as they consider their relationship and the potential future they may have together. You guys really work well together! And topics like this are best when you hear from both perspectives and you do it in a very nice way. I’m sure it took quite a bit of planning to pull it off so smoothly. After seeing some of the pictures on FB it looks like every detail was thought through – it would have been cool if it had been video taped, we would have loved to watch it! Maybe you’ll get the opportunity to do it again.

    We appreciate your ministry and for being so transparent and real about your own lives and relationship. May God continue to bless you as you follow Him!
