It's about selling everything that you love. It's about dying to yourself, and I think the Lord does that to every single person that he comes to us and says, okay, this one thing you lack, and then we get that challenge. If you would have not taken that challenge, if someone said, "Hey, I think this is what the Lord's telling you."

This is what's holding you back from what you truly desire. This is in the way of knowing God and being with him. If you had said nope, you wouldn't be where you are right now.

Aaron and Jennifer Smith recognize the beauty and power of how God designed every marriage unique. We are passionate about encouraging couples to set their eyes on God while boldly asking the question, “God, what can our marriage do for you?” In our books, we share personal stories of failure and victory from our own marriage while pointing to the wisdom in God’s Holy Word. We have been married for over 16 years and are currently raising five young children, and we are no strangers to the enemy’s attack on marriage. We hope to equip you to be prepared, inspired, and encouraged to live boldly, chasing after God’s purposes together. Ever since we got married, we have purposed to serve God and build His kingdom together. We blog, write books, and host a weekly podcast urging couples to say yes to God and to be used by God for His extraordinary purposes.
