A long + happy marriage is #goals, but can feel out of reach when faced with reality: sharing life with someone else is messy. So, whether you've been married for 4 years or 40—dedication, perseverance, and a sense of humor are the names of the game.

Dating is complicated. It feels like a game where everyone seems to know the rules except you. Truth is, there are no rules—but there are things you can do to prepare for + improve your dating relationships. Because, if taken seriously, dating can set the stage for sharing life with someone you love...and growing in your relationship with God as you go.

The sun rose on Easter morning, just as it always does. No one knew it yet, but the world was about to change. Jesus' friends had watched him die three days before, but they were about to see him live again. It was the day that Jesus would conquer death—and that changed everything.

We all know proud people who love themselves *way too much*. But there's a difference between being an egotistical person and being proud of who you are. There's also a difference between being humble and being straight-up insecure. So how do you strike that delicate balance? Keep an eye out for warning signs of pride—and look for wise ways to seek humility.

When you don't understand something, who's your go-to? Your mom, your spouse…or Google? Whoever you trust, it's likely they don't understand all the things either. A word to the wise: put your trust in the One who does.

In a world of Amazon Prime + Instagram, it's pretty clear—we don't like to wait. Instant gratification is the name of the game. But, if we want results that truly last, it's wise to spend time developing discipline now so you can reap the rewards later.

When it comes to both your body + your emotions, your heart pretty much runs the show. It's no wonder that the book of Proverbs talks about how wise it is to "guard your heart." So… time to build your personal bubble! Just kidding—but what does it actually take to guard your heart?

Jesus was known for approaching the unapproachable of his time and providing miraculous healing—and we believe he still heals today. So whether it's a life-altering diagnosis, the childhood trauma that changed you, or anything in between, come to Jesus. He is FOR the sick.

When you're held captive by something, it controls you. You're held back by a force beyond yourself, paralyzed by that *thing*. Maybe it's fear, addiction, doubt. But the spiritual freedom Jesus offers is simple—accepting it means you don't have to be bound by that *thing* anymore. He is FOR the captive.

We’re wired to make a difference, but sometimes it’s hard to take action. Where do you start? Not only did Jesus know what it was like to be poor while he was here on earth—he also had some surprising advice for those around him when it came to making a difference. He is FOR the poor.
