Summary
We’re not skirting the hard stuff today. From living with a spouse who won’t get help, to raising kids in a culture that feeds anxiety and confusion, to dealing with hurt inside the church, these are the real questions you’re asking.
But before we get to them, we need to talk about something bigger: the slow drift away from truth, even inside the church. When everything becomes “discernment” and everyone claims special insight, we stop thinking clearly and start dividing over things that shouldn’t divide us.
We’re going to get grounded again. Truth matters. Your family matters. And how you live this out right now matters more than ever.
