When Your Spouse Believes Differently

There are many individuals who have found come to faith in Christ as adults. When that happens to a married person, it can come as a shock or surprise to their spouse, who often isn’t eager to embrace this new spirituality.  They’ll dismiss it as a fad or wonder if their husband or wife is trying to play a game of sorts in an effort to change them.

Of course, there are some great stories of those who’ve seen a complete change of heart as God’s transforming power works in their lives.  I don’t think there’s a more powerful story so calmly told as that of well-known author and speaker Lee Strobel and his wife Leslie.  They shared a tremendous story with their church body and followed up with a Q & A session in this recording. There are some similarly-themed clips from a previous Focus on the Family broadcast with Nancy Sebastian Meyer at the link, too.
