Written by Paul in prison, Ephesians beautifully describes the vast reality of the gospel. Chosen before the foundation of the earth, God’s eternal plan of redemption takes spiritually dead men and women and raises them to life in Christ. Ephesians reminds us the gospel is all of God, all of grace, and all purposed “to show the immeasurable riches of His grace towards us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7).

As human beings in general and as Christians in particular, we are accountable at various levels, to God, our families, our friends, our bosses and our teams at our places of work.

It takes a lot of sacrifice and compromise for two people to become one in marriage. Add a disability into the mix and the struggles can seem overwhelming. Physical and emotional impairments often clamor for undivided attention, which can lead to self-centeredness and other barriers. But when a couple determines to keep Jesus Christ at the center of the relationship, a disability can actually become a benefit in a marriage.

One of the best things I’ve done is let go of my expectations about how life should be in order to embrace it as it is. I’ve found over the years of a challenging childhood, traveling as a musician with Third Day, marriage, and parenting, that God’s got me. He’s got you too, and he won’t let you go. It turns out, the road he has for us is the best one after all.

As humans, we have the uncanny ability to make the easy, difficult. One of the things we tend to make so mystical and complicated is this thing we refer to as “calling.” But the Bible gives us many places to start when we don't know what to do. It’s not a calling based on new trends or our vocation. God’s calling is for today. Right now. Let’s dive in! 

If there’s one thing we have learned over years of dating, break-ups, prayers, waiting, and (for Kristen) marriage, it’s this: romantic relationships are complicated. Those charming princess movies we watched as kids didn’t do us any favors as we grew older. Can you relate? Whatever season of life you’re in, we pray this week-long devotional will help you discover God’s vision for lasting relationship. Because love was God’s idea in the first place!

“Always we begin again.” –St. Benedict   Do you ever feel stuck, restless, or cornered in your own life? It’s easy to shut down in those moments. Or, you can learn to begin again.

May this week-long devotional help you trade your trying for trust and your striving for surrender.

I can’t love my wife because…. How can I submit to my husband who is….. These are common everyday challenges in a marriage. The purpose of this devotional is to understand how to live in realistic marriages and not ideal marriages.
