The Moments That Matter

Has someone ever pulled away from you and you genuinely didn't know why? A friendship that got quiet. A family member who keeps their distance. A relationship that used to be easy and now feels like work - and you can't put your finger on what changed. Here's the uncomfortable truth: most of us are doing things right now, in the relationships that matter most to us, that are slowly costing us those very relationships. And we don't even know we're doing it.

This Sunday we're going to get specific - not just about what's going wrong, but about the exact moments where connection is either built or quietly destroyed. There's a researcher name John Gottman who figured out how to predict, with 94% accuracy, which relationships are heading toward collapse, and which ones will thrive. Turns out it comes down to something that happens dozens of times a day in every relationship you have.

Come find out what it is — and whether you're doing it.

The Relationships You Actually Want

There's probably someone in your life right now who's a little more distant than you'd like. A relationship that's a little harder than it needs to be. And if you're honest, somewhere in the back of your mind, you already know why. Something happened - something you did, or maybe something you've been doing for years without realizing it - and now you're paying for it. We all have patterns in our relationships that are quietly costing us way more than we realize. Not in dramatic blow-up ways, but in the slow accumulation of distance, resentment, and walls we didn't mean to build. This Sunday we're starting a new series about what it actually looks like to stop creating those costs - and start building the kind of relationships you actually want. I'm going to start by telling you about a mistake I made that followed me for a decade.

Come ready to be honest with yourself. See you at the Spiritual Gym

Upcoming Series - Detoxification

We all want better relationships! Because we’ve all felt the pain of Toxic relationships. But most of us were never actually taught how to love the people right in front of us. Jesus’ invitation to love your neighbour sounds simple - and good - but in real life it’s deeply practical and surprisingly hard. We often feel a gravitational pull toward “me against them” Toxic relationships instead of healthy, shared We relationships.

To help with that, we’re launching a new series in the Spiritual Gym built around principles from The Relationship Cure. We’ll slow down and pay attention to the small, ordinary moments where love is either expressed or missed - the comment we respond to, the bid for attention we overlook, the chance to turn toward instead of away. These moments quietly shape our marriages, friendships, families, and even how we show up at work.

This isn’t about fixing people or mastering techniques. It’s about learning to notice one another again, and choosing connection as a lived, everyday expression of loving our neighbour well. And for some, loving ourselves in the process.

If you’re tired of tension you can’t quite name, conversations that keep circling the same drain, or feeling alone in rooms full of people - this series will give you practical tools you can use immediately. You’ll learn how to respond instead of react, how to de-escalate conflict before it spirals, and how to build relationships that actually feel safe, steady, and life-giving. If you want less chaos and more peace in the relationships that matter most, this is for you.

Join us as we start the practice of relationships Detoxification.

Series Runs May 24th - June 28th.
