National Marriage Week USA Webinar
I took in a great webinar for pastors and church leaders today out of the US discussing what it would take to enrich marriages with a focus on the National Marriage Week scheduled for February 7-14th. I had been invited by Chuck Stetson, a venture capitalist from New York City who called me on Tuesday this week simply to connect again and remind me of the National Marriage Week USA webinar held today. He is the initiator behind this webinar and also spearheaded a survey in the US revealing that American taxpayers are paying nearly 112 Billion dollars a year to deal with the fragmentation of the family.
Speakers like Chuck Colson, Miles McPherson, Christopher West and others spoke so well into what needs to be done to strengthen marriages. Much of what was discussed today is what CMFN is bringing through our coaching as we launch our first network in Saskatoon in a couple of months. I am including a free link to todays webinar and from it you can listen and watch the slides that were presented. It’s worth the listen!

Saskatoon is some great place!
Had a couple of great meetings with two great guys in the great city of Saskatoon. That’s a lot of great in 48 hours!! I always come away charged from my meetings with both of these men and am regularly inspired to go higher and reach farther. After meeting with David White from Circle Drive Alliance Church & Synergy Solutions Group I ‘m supercharged for what lies ahead for a potential network of churches focused on transforming marriages in Saskatoon.
Then a trip to the airport to pick up Faith@Home pioneer, author and friend Mark Holmen from Ventura California. We spent almost 3 hours sharing vision and planning strategy together as we’re working on a Faith@Home coaching model for churches in Canada and the US. Absolutely love Mark’s passion for helping the local church reestablish the home as the primary place where faith is nurtured. Great trip!

Bruce Clemenger, President of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada asked if I’d join a conference call today with 40 leaders from across the US discussing the “Let’s Strengthen Marriage Campaign“. The call was organized by Chuck Stetson out of New York and it covered a seven pillar strategy to strengthen marriage involving Churches, Family, Education, Business, Media, Government and Arts and Entertainment. I was encouraged to hear of several great initiatives taking place in all seven areas in an effort to shore up the falling tide on marriage. I was mostly encouraged though in regards to the effort of collaboration to make it all happen. Within this campaign there is much cross-sector collaboration between the above mentioned pillars which is necessary for real change — on a national level — to materialize. Here in Canada it’s high time we too join forces to do all we can to transform the relational landscape of our Canadian marriages and families.
