Fred and Carla McDougal Host FIRST LOVE Marriage Conference July 18-19, 2014
Weatherford, Texas (PRWEB) July 16, 2014 -- Christian speaker and author Carla McDougal, along with her husband Fred, also a noted Christian speaker, are encouraging couples to strive for a marriage that is filled with grace, love and laughter according to Biblical precepts. Taking time to renew in love and commitment for one another is a pivotal aspect to retaining a healthy, Godly marriage; Fred and Carla are here to assist in that journey with their FIRST LOVE Marriage Conference on July 18th and 19th, 2014, in Weatherford, Texas.
FIRST LOVE is a look at marriage through a Biblical lens. With authentic and inspiring messages, Carla and Fred work together to give audiences truth and wisdom that can help them rekindle the spark in any marriage and ensure that the relationship is grounded in the Solid Rock—Jesus Christ.
"The FIRST LOVE Marriage Conference is based on the fact that a nurtured spark produces a kindled flame, which ignites a fully engaged fire," says Carla McDougal. "Our marriages are like a carefully lit fire that must be maintained and fueled by prayer, love, and self-sacrifice. The movie FIRST LOVE is shown on Friday evening to kick-start the event. FIRST LOVE’s powerful biblical message is used throughout the three sessions on Saturday."
Carla and Fred are uniquely qualified to lead these sessions. As high school sweethearts, they married thirty years ago and together raised four children. Both attended Texas A&M University where Fred received a master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering and Carla earned a degree in Marketing. Fred works at Anadarko Petroleum Corp as an International Drilling Operations Manager. Their lifelong relationship has helped them to understand the bumps and twists in the marriage road. Through their journey together, they have experienced God’s overflowing love, grace, and mercy. They believe that God is using their story for His glory.
Friday Night "Date Night" includes a showing of the movie FIRST LOVE which was founded by Carla's ministry, Reflective Life Ministries. On Saturday there will be three sessions focusing on the truths hidden within the movie. Fred and Carla will speak on the practical applications of these Biblical truths. FIRST LOVE was also the recipient of the prestigious christian accolade, the Dove Award.
