The Wedding Chaplain podcast

44:40

No guest today. In addition to my work at WeddingChaplain.com, I am also a local church pastor. On October 1st, we had a launch day that included my Sunday morning message being centered around the release of my new book, Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Save Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You Are at It. I share stories of my favorite stories from my wedding ministry over the past twenty-two years: the good, the bad, and the crazy. I also call for churches to re-engage the wedding world. Churches should be the central place couples turn to when they get engaged. The church should own the wedding industry, not watch from the sidelines.

No guest today. I take some time to talk about the feelings and emotions of the wedding weekend. Weddings are mountain-top events, meaning a climb up and a coming off-the-mountain experience.

Today’s guest is Michael Ruskin. Michael is the last surviving member of his immediate family. Mr. Ruskin writes for a living and writes and publishes memoirs and family history books for people who want their stories told and preserved as keepsakes for their family or to a wider audience. The Vow, A Love Story and the Holocaust is Mr. Ruskin's latest book, but not his last. The Vow is the story of Michael’s parents. A true story based on the lives of two people whose love, faith, and will to survive transcended one of the darkest periods in human history...the Holocaust. Excerpt from the book: “As the last remaining captives were being herded towards the trains, David whispered in Dora’s ear. "No matter where they take us, we will meet back here in the Square, when this is over. Stay strong my Love, and know my thoughts and prayers are with you." Dora replied with tears in her eyes. “I love you David and I will pray every night that God keeps us safe and brings us home to each other." -The Vow: A Love Story & The Holocaust” The easiest way to connect with Michael is through his website: https://thevowalovestory.com facebook https://facebook.thevowalovestory.com https://intsagram/thevowalovestory For more on David Anderson or WeddingChaplain.com David Anderson's Linktree Profile The Wedding Chaplain Website Find the Wedding Chaplain on social media: On Facebook On Instagram Twitter: @weddingchaplain On LinkedIn On Pinterest Sponsor: EWed Insurance…

No guest today. I am proud to announce my new book, which is the product of my years of wedding ministry. It is entitled Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Save Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You Are at It. I share stories from my wedding ministry over the past two years. The good, the bad and the crazy. I also call for churches to re-engage the wedding world. Churches should be the central place couples turn to when they get engaged. The church should own the wedding industry, not watch from the sidelines. The book discusses practical ways for pastors and churches to connect with couples. Drawing from my doctoral work, I share the latest research on generational attitudes toward marriage and the church. In addition to simply sharing my stories and experiences at the end of the book, I offer pastors and church planters an opportunity to get trained in doing weddings and be listed on our Wedding Chaplain website.
