On the latest episode of the iDisciple Podcast, iDisciple CEO David Henriksen is joined by renowned author and public speaker, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. Dr. Eggerichs has spent several decades writing books and speaking around the world on the topics of marriage, parenting, and communication. Dr. Eggerichs has authored several books about those topics, including the New York Times bestselling marriage book Love and Respect. Eventually, this book lead to the Love and Respect Marriage Conference, a dynamic and marriage-changing conference for couples that has resulted in countless relationships being restored.
More recently, Dr. Eggerichs has completed and released a new book about the pratfalls of miscommunicating, Before You Hit Send: Preventing Headache and Heartache. Dr. Eggerichs latest book is based on years of research, anecdotes, and biblical study, and is a humbling glance into the mistakes we make when we communicate with the people around us.
We pray that Dr. Eggerichs’ knowledge and discernment about marriage and communication will open your eyes to new ways you can live your life more like Jesus!
