On today's episode, our special guests are Jim & Marlene Williams.

Jim and Marlene have been happily married for nearly 31 years. Marlene is a native of Odessa, Texas, and Jim was born and raised in Casa Grande, Arizona. Their journey together began as coworkers and friends before their friendship blossomed into a relationship. Because they had both experienced divorce, they chose to begin their courtship in a unique and meaningful way, by stopping first in their church's prayer room and asking God to take control of their lives and lead their relationship. Looking back over the past three decades, they are certain that the Lord has faithfully guided every step of their journey.

Marlene dedicated more than 30 years to a successful career as a Human Resources professional and is now enjoying retirement while actively serving through volunteer work at her church. Jim has spent over three decades in leadership, consulting, and labor relations, building a career centered on serving and guiding others.

In 2005, during a life-changing trip to Israel, Jim felt the Lord place a calling on his heart to help others experience the Holy Land. On that same journey, he was invited to begin leading tours to Israel. Over the past 21 years, Jim has traveled to Israel approximately 25 to 30 times, while Marlene has visited nearly 20 times. Together, they share a deep love for Israel and often say that the moment they arrive, they feel as though they have come home.

Their passion is to help others walk where Jesus walked, bringing the pages of Scripture to life through a rich understanding of both biblical and Jewish history. Their tours emphasize faith, history, and the spiritual significance of the land, intentionally setting aside politics to focus on the enduring story of God's people and His promises.

Jim and Marlene reside in Peoria, Arizona, where they are the proud parents of four grown children and the blessed grandparents of four grandchildren. They enjoy being active in their church and local community whenever possible.

Ordained in 2013, Jim has also had the privilege of serving as a chaplain, offering spiritual care and encouragement to those in need, as well as officiating weddings, special events, and funerals. Together, Jim and Marlene remain committed to serving others, sharing their faith, and helping people deepen their relationship with God through ministry and their love for the land of Israel.
