What if the greatest shift your relationships need isn't finding the right person, but following the right design plan?

In RelationSHIFTS, we'll take a journey together through Scripture to discover God's plan for singleness, dating, marriage, parenting, and everyday relationships. We'll also learn what it looks like to start shifting from our guessed at ideas to God's intentional design for relationships.

One of the most depressing things I see out to eat: couples sitting across from each other, no distractions, just flicking their phones.

Ephesians 5:25 doesn't call husbands to love their wives when it's convenient, it calls them to love "as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her." That's sacrificial. Christ didn't split His attention. He gave all of it, even to the point of death.

Verse 28 goes further: "husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies." You wouldn't neglect your own body for a screen. So why is it easy to neglect the person who is, biblically, one flesh with you?

This isn't really about phones. Phones are just the modern, socially acceptable way we do what people have always done, we give our full attention to the easy thing instead of the person who actually deserves it. A meal, a scroll, an inbox. It's always something. Paul's not writing about willpower. He's writing about where your love actually goes when no one's watching.

Proximity puts you near your spouse. Presence lets them feel seen. One is a matter of geography, the other is a matter of the heart, and Ephesians 5 is clear about which one love requires.

There's a reason you'd never leave your front door cracked open with an armed criminal in the neighborhood. You'd lock the deadbolt. You'd check twice. You'd sleep with one eye open if you had to. Nobody has to convince you to protect your home from a threat you can see.

But Ephesians 4:26-27 says there's a threat to your marriage that's just as real, even when you can't see it walking down the street. "Do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil." Unresolved anger isn't neutral. It's not just "we'll deal with it later." It's a door left cracked open, and the enemy doesn't need much of an opening to get in and start doing damage.

So what closes the door? Ephesians 5 gives us the answer, and it's not "wait until you feel like it." It's Christ. "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25). Jesus didn't wait for the church to clean itself up before He loved her. He didn't hold out until it was comfortable or deserved. He went first.

That's the pattern for marriage. Not "I'll go first once they do." Not "I'll let this go once they apologize." Go first. Love first. Forgive first. Even when it's uncomfortable. Even when they're hard to love right now. That's exactly how Jesus loved you.

Lock the door on unresolved anger tonight. Don't leave it cracked.

A lot of men are carrying more than they let on.

Pressure to perform. Marriages running on fumes. Kids looking for a dad who's actually present. And more men are walking away from church than we want to admit.

Nobody handed us a roadmap for any of it.

That's why we're doing BetterMan Mornings again this Fall. Five weeks. One table. No polish, no performance, just men being honest about where they're at and going back to what God actually said manhood is.

Whether you were with us this Spring or you've never been in the room, this one's built for you to jump in fresh.

Tuesdays in September, starting September 1st. 6 to 7am. Any man 18 and up.

This year, we're taking it further.
Our first overnight retreat.

Women's Weekend 2026 is a time to get away and invest in your relationships. With each other. With God.

Coffee and conversation.
Worship together.
Moments to exhale, individually and collectively.
God's Word, read and discussed in community.

Before you are anyone's wife, mother, friend, or leader, you are first and forever loved by God. This weekend, you'll be reminded that you are BELOVED.

We're leaving the Exchange building. Headed to Timber Creek in Pulaski, MS. Just 45 minutes away.
