Art of Marriage Video Event
Through six sessions, you will unpack six biblical words that describe how God loves and acts toward His creation. When people see a couple modeling the covenantal, steadfast love of God (HESED) to one another, others catch a glimpse of a God who
• stays with us through the highs and lows of life (DABAQ: to cleave, cling)
• sacrifices His best, Jesus, for our good (AGAPE: to love sacrificially, unconditionally)
• sets us free from the bondage of our sin and failures (LUO: release, forgive)
• sees everything about us and accepts us completely (YADA: to know intimately)
• Sends us to others who need His love (EUANGELION: good news, gospel).
Note that this modeling doesn’t imply picture-perfect— frankly, that’s overrated and impossible to achieve. It’s about helping couples realize our need for Jesus and the compelling way He journeys with us to turn our marriage into a messy masterpiece that can make a positive impact on the people around us.

The art of Dan Christ is an expression of his love for the outdoors - the natural world. It is a love resulting from a lifelong pursuit of exploring nature. Raised on a Berks County dairy farm at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dan was a hunter, bird watcher, and nature photographer since a teenager. He was educated in Forestry at Penn State University. Dan also had a natural artistic talent for which he received recognition in high school and college, but which lay dormant while he pursued his forestry career.
