Catching Up with Elliott and Andrea Johnson On Honoring God Through Your Finances and Finding Financial Peace

In the first year of their marriage Elliott shares it was when Andrea, his wife, came to him saying they needed groceries and they had nothing in the checking account or savings that he realized something had to change. 
“It really broke me and I realized I really had no idea how to honor God with my finances. Because I didn’t know where to turn I began a process of prayer.” Something they weren’t doing and something 78% of the couples they coach and work with aren’t doing is a consistent budget. 

AS ELLIOTT WAS DRIVING ONE DAY, HE HEARD A MAN ON THE RADIO SAY, “THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FINANCIAL PEACE IS TO WALK DAILY WITH THE PRINCE OF PEACE, CHRIST JESUS.” This was an answer to prayer.  God began to show them through the Scripture His ways of managing the money He has given.

Regan and Mellie Martin on The Call to Cape Town, Togetherness, and the Gospel of God’s Grace

Regan and Mellie Martin have been married for 17 years.

I hope it’s just as refreshing to yours and inspires something for your home life or sparks the call God’s been prompting in your own heart.

One of my favorite parts of this episode may be that you can hear 4 of their 6 children practicing their violin in the background toward the end. And another favorite moment, at the very end the Martin’s sing for us a gospel hymn, His Mercy is More.

This American family who moved from Wisconsin/Illinois to follow God’s call to South Africa. Regan said he prayed, “Here we are, send us. Where would you have us to be?” All this and more in episode 11!
