Welcome back for our final supplemental re|engage lesson together. The goal of this lesson is to remind us all that if we don’t put into practice the things we’ve learned, we will drift back to the marriages we had before re|engage began. It’s natural to want to take a break and rest after a season of hard work. But don’t stop! Use this lesson as encouragement to diligently invest in your relationship, in your pursuit of God, and in all the ways we’ve explored together over the past 14 weeks.

To live the way Colossians 3 outlines, you have to stay connected to God, His Word, and His community. If you’re finding yourself in a bit of a rut in your spiritual life, try something different. Our church offers so many ways to learn, grow and be sharpened in your relationships. Just like you and your marriage, we’re not perfect. But we’re a good church that desires to pursue Jesus daily, so give something a shot and allow God to work in whatever circumstance or season you are in. We’re here for you! So don’t hesitate to reach out. For more information about us, check out: www.ccbcfamily.org

Today we’re completing the “trilogy” of intimacies explored in the re|engage curriculum. And this one’s so important, because the marriage relationship is different than any other human relationship. The two have become one. And as a result, each spouse plays a unique role in the spiritual growth of the other. This lesson will provide practical ideas for how to have the spiritual intimacy that every marriage should enjoy.

Here we are in the sexual intimacy lesson. Some of you might be excited about this topic, and for others this conversation will bring up some shame, fear or painful ideas. We know there’s a broad range of perspectives on this topic, and the reality is we ALL have some form of baggage when it comes to sex. Let’s take back the ground the Enemy has taken and re-define physical intimacy as GOOD — the way God intended.

We’re starting a set of three “intimacy” weeks, and today we’re talking about … EVERYTHING! This lesson is aimed to get you to think about sharing all of those things on your heart and mind as you move more and more toward oneness; being fully seen, known and loved for who God made you to be — quirks, ticks and all! Our brokenness has really messed that up though. So let’s listen as Ryan points out some key ways to pursue intimacy the way God designed.

As we come into the last 5 lessons, we’re reminded that things we plan, expect and count on are sometimes just in our heads and can lead to pent up frustrations when those ideas don’t pan out the way we expect them to. How do we live in a way where we don’t get stuck in a cycle of resenting those people we care so much about? Let’s hear another great lesson about dealing with those common disappointments.

We're so glad you’re hanging in there and staying committed to the challenge of re|engage and the challenge of marriage. That’s what you call real ... commitment ... which is what we’re talking about today! The promise you made on your wedding day was a mere reflection of the big promise God made to you at the beginning of time when He designed everything – including the covenant of marriage.

We’re back this week talking about making things right again after wrongs have been acknowledged and confessed, knowing that we’re then called to forgive. This can be incredibly hard, because it’s not normal in our culture. We’re more likely to cancel someone who’s offended us. But that’s not what God did to you or to me. Your re|engage workbook contains an excellent outline for reconciliation and peace-making, so this supplemental lesson is going to focus on what gets revealed during this season of conflict. We hope you find it useful!

We’re almost half-way through this journey, and we’re learning and processing so much! This week is all about putting what we learned about last week into action. We learned that forgiveness is core to a Christ-following lifestyle. So if that’s true, then can I always expect to be forgiven by a Christian? And what is the best way to share the wrongs I’ve done with someone else? How can I be sure it will go well? Ryan’s going to talk about many of these things in this lesson.

This week we’re talking about the best response to being wronged – and it’s actually not what your dad told you to do on the playground! That’s a joke, but it’s actually a good example of the way our culture shapes us to defend rather than forgive. And when it comes to that defense, many of us tend to either stuff down and cover up our anger, or we vent it all out—telling everyone how we were offended—hoping that will vindicate us and make us feel better. Jesus actually gives us a counter-cultural imperative that’s better than either of these typical choices that we tend to make. Let’s listen as Ryan unpacks forgiveness!

Welcome to your fifth week of re|engage! We like to encourage couples to "talk about everything." However, that’s hard to do well when your motives are skewed. The goal of our communication should be mutual understanding. Not to be right, to win the argument, or get our point across. Ryan’s going to talk through ways we can begin to correct negative communication patterns that show up in our marriage, and also help us see where those habits come from.
