About this episode

Pastor Jake Schmelzer discusses the importance of surrendering to Jesus in marriage rather than striving for perfection.

Have you ever found yourself wondering if the grass might be greener on the other side? Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking, if only this were different… then things would be better. This week, guest Pastor Jake Schmelzer invites us into a deeper understanding of marriage, not as something we perfect, but as something we surrender. That the strength of your marriage isn’t found in perfection, but in the presence of Jesus at the very center of it. How when we try to build a marriage on principles alone– even good, Biblical ones– without truly inviting Jesus in, we find ourselves striving without strength. Press play now!
