Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to the Messy Masterpiece podcast, which had

in Torrey.

You guys are our weekend warriors.

Today's a special day because one of my best friends is getting married to his best friend.

So we're actually in Hawaii for that wedding.

Super excited.

So also, just as it heads up, today is our devotional plus long form Q&A, and in the

name of marriage, we're actually going to be doing a marriage Q&A after the devotional.

And then Torrey also has a fun devotional that we're going to be going through now.

Yeah.

So we're actually going to be going through a devotional from the meaning of marriage

by Timothy Keller and his wife, Kathy Keller.

But you don't have to be married for this to apply to you.

It's just a really good principle in general.

So anyways, we're going to be reading out of Ephesians 5 verses 31 through 32.

It says, for this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his

wife.

And the two will become one flesh.

This profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church.

And it talks about exclusivity.

And then it says, there is no way to know Christ without exclusive life-long commitment

to him.
