NOT GOOD!!!
My daughter and her fiancé are going through pre-marital counseling with the youth pastor and wife, which I am so thankful for. This past week she called me all excited telling me about their session.
The pastor and wife had set up a table for them and served them dinner (just my daughter and her fiancé). They left them alone to enjoy the dinner, then came back after dinner and started teaching on servitude.
They talked about how important it was to have a servant's heart in a marriage and they watched the portion of "The Passion" where Jesus washed the disciples feet and brought out the point how Jesus was able to do that knowing what Peter and Judas were about to do and applied that to marriage too.
Then, he brought in a basin of water and towels and said it was left up to them, but if they would like to reflect upon what they discussed and then wash each other's feet he was making it available to them. Then he and his wife left them alone.
She said they did it and it was so special - they prayed, cried and applied the lesson deep in their hearts, even to the point she said it was life changing.
I so appreciate someone cares enough to mentor our youth!
