Welcome to the Vood Church podcast.

It has been said that love is the most powerful force in the world.

But what happens when the weight of everyday life closes in?

Is love truly enough to last?

Today, we're kicking off a new collection of talks by Rich and Don Shurie, living together,

the realities of relationship.

It's one thing to love someone.

It's another thing to live with them.

Over the next six weeks, we'll explore the fundamentals of relationships and practical

tools for finding longevity in love.

To discover collection resources, visit voodchurch.com slash together.

Now let's lean into the message, the motivation of marriage.

Well, as you can see, for the next few weeks, Don Shurie and I are going to attempt to tag

team preach as we bring this brand new collection to you, talking really all things relationships.

And last year around this season, I preached off a book I wrote called Single and Secure.

But in that message and that collection's importance is valuable and I promise you

we're going to talk to Single but we're going to talk to everybody.

But I really want to try to put some emphasis for the next few weeks on the power of marriage.

I want to make sure that we're helping strengthen relationships in this house.

We live in a world today that is just trying to get people to quit, left and right.

And you come in here for some counter-culture news.

You come in this place to get some truth.
