What if the very things that feel like obstacles are actually the places God wants to deepen unity, honesty, and love?

This week on The Cutting Room Floor, Neil and Jon dive into the real and raw process of becoming "one." From the emotional and spiritual oneness that takes decades to form, to the hidden dangers of emotional attachments, this conversation goes far beyond Sunday's teaching. Whether you're dating, newly married, deep in the "Kansas" part of the journey, or decades in, this episode offers a hopeful reminder: you're not alone, and God is shaping something good.

Your challenge:

Take time this week to ask, with humility, How have I hurt you recently? Then listen without defending.

Hosts: Neil Gregory & Jon Weece
