When we think of the story of the woman at the well, we can get hung up on the fact that she has had five husbands and the man she is living with now is not her husband, but the point of the story is that only the living water from Jesus can quench our desire for love in the deepest places. We can search for love on earth, but only the eternal satifies.
The world will tell us to chase love, but we can lose ourselves searching for it. The real transformation comes when we chase God and find the living water Jesus speaks about in John chapter 4.
In this blog, we’re shattering the misconception that women are in submission to men in a power-control dynamic, and we get real about the work of marriage and design of the marriage covenant. Marriage is hard work, yet Christ models sacrifice and service as the keys to thriving in marriage.

Divorce is like a death and one of the most broken places we can find ourselves. It can also yield inner transformation and deeper joy. Here we set a right perspective when the church has often been too quick to judge.
