Seek and You Will Find: A Marriage and Salvation Story :: Katie and JT Thornbury :: [Episode 309]

Seek and You Will Find: A Marriage and Salvation Story :: Katie and JT Thornbury :: [Episode 309]

This Valentine's Day week, we're bringing you a couple's story that is rare and raw. From our Homewood community, JT and Katie Thornbury openly share about the profound emptiness in their lives and marriage prior to knowing Christ—and how they miraculously came to know Him, together, well into their 30s.

For years, troubled pasts and past experiences influenced how JT and Katie approached life and faith. Plus, striving in their careers and in their parenting meant they usually focused on themselves and not on each other. But through a series of hard circumstances and intense searching, JT and Katie found their hearts and marriage healed by Him.

What better way to celebrate Valentine's than to cheer on the Thornburys and their saved marriage? And even better, their secured salvation in Christ!

In this episode, you will learn:

–Without Christ's loving direction, all areas of your life will bend toward emptiness.

–Seek Him and you will find Him; He can use your doubts to draw you to Himself.

–Even after we come to know Christ, every day requires surrender and dependence.
