Sarah & Andy Swafford: Keynote Speakers

Communication, Friendship, and Placing Christ at the Center

Dr. Andrew and Sarah Swafford share how to encourage greater unity and communication among spouses. Using their own experience as a married couple (drawing from good times as well as those marked by struggle), they unpack various keys to living out marriage and family life, with joy and confidence amid the stresses and challenges that inevitably come our way. Fostering emotional unity, friendship, and prayer can make all the difference.
