We live in a world overflowing with information. Every day we are bombarded with articles, podcasts, videos, opinions, updates, and algorithms that seem to know exactly what we want to hear. Yet for all our access to information, we seem to be increasingly unsure how to live. We know more than ever, but wisdom often feels harder to find. The reason is simple: information is not the same as wisdom. Wisdom is understanding how God designed the world and learning to live within that design. It is seeing life through God's perspective and allowing His truth to shape our decisions,...

info_outlineFriendship in marriage is not optional; it’s essential. Without it, you’re missing out on the fullness of joy in your relationships. Just like Christ came near to us, we must come near to each other, being vulnerable, humble, and committed to seeking each other’s glory. This is what makes our marriages—and our Christ communities—truly flourish.
In this episode, Whit and Lyndsey explore the picture Jesus gives us of true friendship, what it looks like to step into each other’s world, appreciating each other’s differences, and the power of vulnerability.
