🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

How do spiritual zeal, hope, and even lament shape lasting marriages?

This week on Between Sundays, Tyler, Maron, and Barry wrap up our First Comes Love marriage series with the most raw and honest conversation yet. We’re diving deep into Romans 12:11–12, where Paul gives six rapid-fire imperatives: don’t be idle, boil, serve, rejoice, endure, persist. But what do those actually mean for marriages under pressure? Plus, don't miss their invitation to come to Grace Church's upcoming marriage retreat. Investing in your marriage is always worth it!
