This month, Chala and Matt will be discussing the affair that happened in their second year of marriage. While Chala has always been outspoken about how God brought her to salvation through the affair and healed the marriage, Matt is stepping out to discuss his point of view as the one who committed the affair. The Bakers believe that this has the power to help someone who committed an affair, is the victim of an affair, or is considering an affair. Join us as we add just a little bit of gold to our day!

Through an examination of two biblical miracles we can see how the healing is often the least important portion of the situation as a miracle happens. Let's look at how miracles teach us so much more about the goodness of God, His character, and how that relates to our lives today. Join us as we add a little bit of gold to our day!
