Godly Relationships - Phil Bonasso by Every Nation Kirche Berlin

Money, Porn, and Godly Relationships. In this episode, we answer emails from listeners that ask us to discuss the godly use of money and pornography addiction. How should Christians view the usage of money and possessions? How has the Church changed its view of money over time? What effect has the Industrial Revolution and the rise of therapy-speak had on churches as regards money, relationships, and what passes for a godly life? How do we view relationships, fidelity, and lustful attraction in relation to Jesus' teaching on mammon and adultery? This and much, much more on today's episode of the podcast.

Not every man who treats you well is meant to lead you.In this episode, we're unpacking the difference between a good man and a Godly man (or woman) —because kindness, consistency, and chemistry are not the same as spiritual alignment.Using Proverbs 4:23 and 2 Timothy 3:5, we explore how a man can have a form of godliness without truly walking in it—and why that distinction matters when you're dating with intention.If you've ever felt confused in a “good” relationship…If you've ever questioned why something feels off even when he's treating you right… If you're learning to desire alignment over attachment…This episode will help you discern the difference—and choose differently.Send us Fan Mail Support the showThank you for listening.

In today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm sharing my thoughts on a range of current events, along with answering a few listener questions.We'll be discussing recent developments and conversations surrounding Donald Trump, the ongoing discussions around the Epstein files, and a widely talked-about moment involving Pete Hegseth and his public citation of a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction. CRINGE.I also take time to talk about something deeper than headlines: the importance of both men and women returning to a biblical worldview, embracing truth, and honoring God-ordained gender roles in a culture that often blurs or rejects them entirely.--https://www.bible.com/

God has woven the need for relationships into the fabric of our DNA. Our culture, however, has hijacked what God intended for our good. If we're not careful, unhealthy relational advice can cause pain and destruction. But that doesn't have to be the case. God presents a different picture of relationships than our culture does. Instead of letting culture set the expectations for our marriages, families, friendships, etc., we're flipping the script and doing relationships God's way.

Most of us were never taught love—we absorbed it. Through movies, music, social media, and even past pain, we picked up a version of love that feels good but fails us. We crave intimacy but end up in confusion. Why? Because we've built our relationships on a broken definition of love. In this powerful sermon, you'll discover what God actually says about love—and why holiness, boundaries, and covenant are essential if you want love that lasts. Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches what real, godly love looks like—and how to unlearn the lies culture has sold us. In this sermon, you'll learn: Why your definition of love might be the root of your relationship struggles How culture's version of love feeds selfishness instead of sacrifice What Scripture actually says about love, boundaries, and holiness Why real love starts with God's character, not our chemistry How covenant—not feelings—is the foundation of lasting love What it means to love with honor, patience, and devotion So what if the love you've been chasing isn't the love your soul truly needs? This message calls us out of culture's chaos and back to the heart of God—where love isn't just a feeling, but a foundation strong enough to weather every storm. True love doesn't fade. It reflects the One who never fails.

Rom-coms make love look effortless—but real, lasting relationships take more than a great one-liner. In Song of Solomon 2, this message lays out a Guide for Godly Relationships—God's design for dating, singleness, marriage, and intimacy. You'll hear practical truth about restraint and boundaries, discernment before desire, “catching the little foxes” that slowly spoil relationships, and choosing commitment that reflects the gospel. The big idea: love flourishes when it's done God's way.

Want to grow in wisdom? Proverbs 13:20 shows us a powerful truth: when you walk closely with those who trust and honor God, their wisdom becomes yours too. But that doesn't mean we should be isolated from the world. Listen now and be inspired to choose your companions wisely and reflect the beauty of God's wisdom in every area of your life.

Journey Through Ephesians: Godly Relationships Part 2 by Valley Real Life

God never designed us to walk through life alone. In 1 Corinthians 16:17-18, Paul celebrates the encouragement and refreshment he received through faithful friends in Christ. This reminds us that godly relationships are one of the greatest gifts God gives His people.In this uplifting message, we explore the power of Christ-centered friendships and how they strengthen, refresh, and push us closer to God's purpose for our lives.

Ephesians 5 reminds us that mutual respect and selflessness are at the heart of a healthy marriage.

In this message, Pastor Dan Monroe discusses what it means to be equally yoked in the different types of relationships we encounter in life, including our marriages, dating relationships, friendships, business relationships, friendships and workplaces. We learn why being equally yoked to others who share our faith is important, how being equally yoked can benefit our walks with God, how being unequally yoked can cause hindrances in our relationship with Christ, and how we navigate the call to be equally yoked to one another while still following our mandate to be Christ's ambassadors to all. Finally, we are reminded that Christ's relationship with us is unequal: he takes on our burdens and sins and calls us to be like Him.

In today's episode, we're diving into an important conversation about relationships—how to recognize real friendships from faux ones, and why understanding the Relationship Ladder is crucial for dating, friendships, and beyond. Inspired by a recent marriage retreat and my latest blog post, “Friend or Faux,” we'll explore the five rungs of the relationship ladder: Knowledge, Recreation, Emotion, Spiritual, and Physical. We'll talk about which apply to all relationships and which are reserved for marriage. Plus, I'll share why I raised the dating age for my youngest to 18 and how we can help our kids—and ourselves—navigate relationships with biblical wisdom and clarity. Don't miss this one—it's foundational.

On the next Treasured Truth, as we conclude our look at good and godly relationships, our study today will emphasize how crucial commitment is in a relationship, even before marriage. Pastor Ford will explain that allowing commitment to be part of the foundation of your relationship will bring important disclosure of things you need to know before you make the ultimate commitment in marriage.

As we once again continue our study in the book of Ruth on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will point out that Ruth met Boaz in the everyday, normal routine of life. And through His providence, God had prepared her to meet this man who would become her future husband, and God prepared Boaz to meet her. We’ll see how important it is to wait on God’s direction and preparation when we are seeking good and godly relationships. Learn more when you join us for the next Treasured Truth.

On the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that the foundation of a Christian marriage is being “equally yoked,” meaning both people have a genuine faith in Jesus Christ. That’s where you start. And that awareness should be established at the beginning of the relationship. So once we find a person who professes faith in Christ, who we want to pursue a relationship with, then we should find out if their faith is truly genuine before committing to them in marriage.

According to Pastor Ford, there are certain things we need when we’re seeking to build a godly relationship. From the beginning of our relationship and especially in our marriage—we need someone who will not give up on us, but who will instead commit to give up for us. We need to seek someone who understands that sacrifice is part of a relationship. And we need to be willing to become sacrificial ourselves as we take part in the relationship.

The thing that separates a good marriage from all other marriages, is the ability of the couple to deal with conflict. And on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will help us understand that if we don’t deal with conflict in our marriage biblically, then conflict will deal with us.

On the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will remind us that if we will give God our marriage relationship, then God will make sure that we have the quality relationship that He wants us to have. But we don’t start the process of surrendering our relationship to God when we get married. We should start it before we get married.

When you join us for today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will have some suggestions to help us when we are analyzing the commitment level of a person in a relationship. He’ll suggest that one thing we need to do is try to see how that person behaves in a crisis. Why? Because it’s easy to keep a commitment when there’s no drama. But what does a person do when there’s drama? We need to know that the person will stick around during a crisis and that they made the decision to commit to a relationship based on counting the cost.

A lot of people are in relationships with people who are “photo-shopped.”  They're not really who they appear to be.  What they have on is a whole lot of make-up and a costume designed to impress.  And unfortunately, you can't see them for who they really are until after you marry them.  So, when you join us for the next Treasured Truth, we'll be encouraged by Pastor Ford to dig deep and find out who the person really is before committing to them in marriage.

When you join us for the next Treasured Truth, we'll learn that God has designed for marriage to be a union of two forgivers.  And Pastor Ford will help us understand that whatever we have to forgive to fulfill the vow that we made—until death do us part—that's the kind of commitment that we're supposed to have in our marriage.

On the next Treasured Truth, we'll continue our study in the book of Ruth.  Pastor Ford will describe how many of us date our spouse to marry them, instead of marrying our spouse with the intention of dating them the rest of our lives.  And what we fail to realize is that we have to put as much or more effort into keeping our spouse as we did into getting them in the first place.

We can be certain that God can heal a broken heart.  We just need to give Him all the pieces.  And especially before marriage, we need to make sure that we're whole.  Why?  Because, if we're broken and if our potential spouse is broken, then our marriage is not going to be whole.  And when you join us for the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that we need to realize that a half a man and a half a woman equals one whole mess!
