We are honored once again to have one of our long-time pastors and wife with us on the podcast today. Eric & Patti Lethco have not only poured into our lives personally but have also helped mold us into the wives, mothers, and encouragers we are today.  We believe their example of walking out a Christ-centered marriage, consistent parenting, and steadfast leadership has been a living testimony of what God’s design for family and faith looks like. Today, we want to celebrate the way they both model love, integrity, and service—not just within their marriage and family, but in the way they guide and shepherd those around them. We pray you are encouraged as you too walk through joys and challenges in this season. Let GOD be the one to help lead, guide, and direct your marriage and family steps today! We love you and are so grateful to walk along side you in life. God, we thank You for the gift of family and marriage. We ask You to be the center of our homes, to guide us by Your Word, and to give us strength to remain faithful in every season. May our lives reflect Your love and bring You glory. Today and Forever Amen. Instructions for Christian Households  Ephesians 5:21-33 NIV 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
