Restoring marriage - remember the “us” | Turning a bank into an art experience

About this episode

Rev. Kahlil Carmichael discusses restoring connections in marriage and the upcoming art experience, Ministry of Awe.

As kids, work, and life get hectic, it’s easy to lose the connection in marriage. Rev. Kahlil Carmichael, senior pastor of Live Well Church in New Jersey, wrote a book called “Restore Us” to help married couples have tough conversations and return to the foundation of their relationship: each other. He talks with Racquel Williams about what often goes wrong in marriages and how to get back to “us”. Then, on Shara in the City, we visit an art experience in development - the Ministry of Awe , opening March 14 inside a renovated 19th century bank. Shara Dae Howard explores the visual, performance, and immersive art coming to Old City.
