REAL TALK - PART 3

REAL TALK - PART 3

Let’s be real—relationships are beautiful, but they’re also complicated. Whether it’s marriage, family, friendship, or community, navigating them in today’s world isn’t always easy. In this series, we’re pulling up a chair and having honest, biblical conversations about the things that matter most. Because when Jesus is at the center of our relationships, everything begins to change. No filters. No fluff. Just real talk about how to build stronger, healthier connections that reflect God’s heart and His design for us.
