The Power of Mentorship: Eliminated Negative Marital Influences with the Help of Strong Mentors

In this episode we discuss the struggles Wesley and Laurin faced as Christians going to a secular college, the positive impact that solid mentors have had on their lives and the journey God has taken them on now that has allowed them to transition Laurin from teaching to become a stay-at-home mom and full-time homemaker.

Wesley and Laurin are high school sweethearts and have been married for 4 years. They have one little one (so far!) and are active members in their local church. Wesley is an elementary art teacher and Laurin is a stay at home mom and they are both passionate about teaching and training the next generation to love Jesus.
