This is the truth that binds His Church together.   In this Episode, Whit and Casey explore the history of our individualistic culture and the foundational beliefs that define the Church.   Show notes: Check out the message: Gospel Doctrine in an Age of Moral Relativism  | In this episode...

Power is often misunderstood. We tend to associate power with entitlement—something earned or deserved. Yet, in Ephesians 5:25, Paul instructs husbands to “love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” This command flips the common understanding of power upside down. Jesus invites us into this countercultural way of living, where the real path to freedom is through service and self-denial.

We all know the importance of our words. Yet, many of us speak without thinking. We don't consider the listener's communication style, how they might receive what we say, or how we can invite Jesus into the conversation.

In this episode, we discuss practical ways to learn to speak in a way that your spouse can understand and stay curious in our conversations.

It may be tempting to jump right to change how you talk to each other, and while that could bring some quick results, if something deeper doesn't change, your words will eventually drift back to causing harm. Scripture teaches us that our words reflect our hearts. The real issue isn't just communication—it's a heart problem only Jesus can fix.

So, let's talk about it!
