⁠⁠⁠This is a special and tender episode to close our month on what our spouses can and cannot carry for us, because some things, like grief, are simply too heavy for any one person to hold alone. Christa welcomes the award-winning writer and podcaster Clarissa Moll, who produces and moderates Christianity Today's flagship news podcast, The Bulletin, and who has become one of the most trusted voices on grief and hope. In 2019, Clarissa's husband Rob (type 9) died suddenly in a hiking accident at Mt. Rainier, leaving her to raise their four children as a widow, and out of that valley came her best-selling book, Beyond the Darkness: A Gentle Guide for Living with Grief and Thriving After Loss. Now a remarried widow (6-2 pairing) building a joyful blended family, Clarissa shares what it means to move through grief rather than around it, how a new marriage holds the memory of a former love, why no single person can be the whole of our healing, and where hope must take hold again after loss. No matter your loss, this conversation will meet you right where you are. Listen here! Watch on YouTube! Clarissa Moll is an award-winning writer and podcaster who helps bereaved people find flourishing after loss. Her writing (https://www.clarissamoll.com/writing) appears in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, RELEVANT, Modern Loss, Grief Digest and more.

In this powerful series, Greg Mohr shares the principles that he and his wife Janice have applied in their lives that has resulted in a happy and successful marriage for over fifty years. Get ready to receive revelation that will enlarge your heart, improve your marriage, and equip you to help others struggling in their marriage relationship!

What does it really mean to love your spouse the way Jesus loves His Church?In Ephesians 5:25-33, we're reminded that God's design for marriage isn't built on convenience, feelings, or keeping score, it's built on sacrificial love. Jesus didn't simply tell us how to love; He demonstrated it by giving Himself completely for us.This message challenges husbands to love sacrificially and personally, pursuing what's best for their wives with intentionality and grace. But the truth reaches beyond marriage. Every healthy relationship begins with a heart surrendered to Jesus.Whether you're married, engaged, or preparing for the future, this message will encourage you to stop looking for quick fixes and start allowing Christ to transform you from the inside out.In this message:• Love gives more than it takes.• Love pursues what's best for others.• Sacrificial love is intentional.• Healthy marriages are built by healthy disciples.• Sit with God before you sit with your spouse.• Don't settle, keep growing.Your marriage won't become everything God designed it to be by accident. As we become more like Jesus, our relationships begin to reflect His love.At 2Rivers Church, our mission is to help people become passionate followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that when Jesus becomes the lead story of our lives, everything changes.If today's message encouraged you, be sure to like this video, subscribe to our channel, and share it with someone who needs hope today.To learn more about 2Rivers Church, visit 2riverschurch.com#2riverschurch #jesusistheleadstory #christianmarriage #ephesians5 #lovelikejesus #biblicalmarriage #Jesus #relationships #marriagesermon #theuncommonlife #theuncommonlifeseries #marriagegoals #husbandsloveyourwives #biblicallove

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE We're more connected than ever, yet lonelier than ever, scrolling through curated lives while quietly falling apart alone. From James 5:13-18, Jim showed that God designed healing to happen in community, not isolation. Every noun in that passage is plural because wholeness requires others. He challenged the trend of turning to AI for counsel, reminding us no algorithm can pray soul-to-soul or look you in the eye and say, "I see you." Whether you're carrying shame, betrayal, or overwhelming grief, isolation is prolonging your pain. Don't leave carrying the same burden you brought. Confess to someone. Ask for prayer. Take a public step, get baptized, join a group, show up. Your healing is waiting in community.   ☞ LOVE THAT LASTS BOOKLET https://www.summitchurch.online/_api/public/file/download/bond_d29ce0a2c80e497db2ef4754dd5e4012   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49630336   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/2986730d   ☞ NEXT STEPS

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE What if you've been confusing love with trust? Jim explores how Jesus loved people without entrusting himself to them (John 2). Joined by two licensed professionals, he unpacks forgiveness, boundaries, and discernment. Whether facing betrayal, difficult relationships, or repeated failures, learn to love freely while guarding your heart wisely.   ☞ LOVE THAT LASTS BOOKLET https://www.summitchurch.online/_api/public/file/download/bond_d29ce0a2c80e497db2ef4754dd5e4012   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49629357   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/f880411b   ☞ NEXT STEPS

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Jim opened this Father's Day message with disarming honesty, admitting that on his drive to church, God surfaced an unresolved hurt he thought he'd buried. Drawing from Matthew 18:21-35, he unpacked Jesus' parable: a man forgiven a debt equivalent to 200,000 years of wages immediately chokes a fellow servant over 100 days' pay. Jim's key insight: forgiveness isn't a case-by-case verdict but a posture, a lifestyle shaped by the staggering grace we've received. Unforgiveness doesn't punish the offender; it tortures the one who holds it, like drinking poison and waiting for someone else to die. The cross is our "ground wire" where betrayal and pain have somewhere to go. The invitation: release what you cannot repay, and trust the God who said "It is finished."   ☞ LOVE THAT LASTS BOOKLET https://www.summitchurch.online/_api/public/file/download/bond_d29ce0a2c80e497db2ef4754dd5e4012   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49624565   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/4afaca71   ☞ NEXT STEPS

1 John 2:12-17 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. 14 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

What makes love last a lifetime? In this message, Pastor Ian Buckley looks at six practical “one another” commands from Scripture that help build a stronger, warmer, more Christ-centred marriage. You'll discover six practices that help love last: ACCEPT their differences instead of attacking them GIVE ATTENTION instead of just sharing space ADJUST yourself instead of always correcting them FORGIVE hurts instead of rehearsing them APPRECIATE the good instead of only noticing the bad RENEW AFFECTION instead of letting love go cold A Christian marriage is not two perfect people in love. It is two forgiven people learning to love like Christ. What makes love last a lifetime? Most couples don't begin marriage expecting love to fade. But over time, small things can quietly erode warmth, trust, tenderness, and joy. The Bible gives us practical “one another” commands that help love last.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Jim opens Love That Lasts with a bold call: we are not doormats or brick walls—we are carriers of Christ's heart. Drawing from 1 Peter 4:8 and Proverbs 10, he introduces "gospeling our relationships"—responding to hurt with forgiveness, pursuit, and grace. His key insight: cover an offense, but confront a pattern, always as an advocate, not an accuser. When wounded, pause, pray, and separate the wound from the person's worth—every human bears God's image. The mission: navigate hurt differently, proving everyone deserves to know someone who lives like Jesus. Don't just survive broken relationships—let God gospel them.   ☞ LOVE THAT LASTS BOOKLET https://www.summitchurch.online/_api/public/file/download/bond_d29ce0a2c80e497db2ef4754dd5e4012   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49620789   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/78d64cc4   ☞ NEXT STEPS

Love that Lasts - The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.

What does it take to build love that lasts a lifetime? In this opening message of our new series, Building Love That Lasts, Pastor Ian Buckley takes us back to Genesis 2 and God's original design for marriage. Before sin distorted relationships, God gave us a pattern for covenant love - leave what weakens the marriage, cleave to the covenant He designed, and build a life of faithfulness by His grace.

All of us come into long term romantic relationship and marriage with hopes, dreams and desires. The problems begin with those as they evolve into something different.

Sometimes when we don't feel love in a relationship, the issue may not be effort. The issue may very well be translation because we are speaking two different languages.

At some point in every relationship, there is a gap between what we expect and how people behave. We either believe the best or assume the worst. People who stay in love always do one over the other.

Most of us are not very good at monitoring our heart, but we are really great at monitoring our spouse's behavior. Yet your ability to stay in love has much more to do with the condition of your heart than it does with the behavior of your partner.

True love is not sustained by emotion but by endurance shaped by Christ. In this sermon, we discover how sacrificial love chooses to stay, forgive, and carry the weight of relationship over time.   Dr. Aaron Cole

As we wrap up our study of the greatest love song of all time, we see this exemplary couple model the kind of lifelong love it takes for every married couple to remain loyally and faithfully committed to each other until the day they die. As the years go by, the relationship between a husband and wife should grow and mature, and even when their desire and/or ability to be physically intimate eventually fades, the commitment to one another that has always been behind it remains and they are closer and stronger than ever. In the remaining verses, we learn what we can do to ensure we are growing and maturing in our relationship with our spouse. This seasoned couple says and does some of the same things they have already said and done earlier but with a few differences and additions. And we will get the clear sense they are at a much more mature stage in their relationship. That maturity is by and large the result of the many conflicts and reconciliations they have experienced over the years. We see the durability of their relationship as it has endured, by God's grace, the wear and tear of married life (i.e. ups and downs, joys and sorrows, blessings and challenges, fighting and making up, etc.).

How do you build an affair-proof marriage? Dr. Willard Harley knows the secret! Willard is the creator of Marriage Builders and the author of His Needs Her Needs: Making Romantic Love Last. With decades of marriage under his belt and a lifetime of expertise counseling couples through a gamut of sticky situations, he talks about his heartfelt mission to help people take the steps needed to steer clear of infidelity. Willard also highlights a growing trend among young adults: the fear of matrimony. What is driving this fear? Is it generational trauma? Is it seen as a cultural norm? Willard observes that as society becomes more sophisticated and educated, the more fearful they become of marriage. Willard is passionate about addressing these fears and encouraging healthy marriages.TAKEAWAYSThose who get married today tend to have fewer children than previous generationsWillard says that up to 70 percent of marriages are affected by infidelityStaying in love makes remaining faithful a lot easier and dating your spouse is a great way to enjoy the best things about lifeFear of marriage likely stems from observing unhappy parental figures

In this episode, John sits down with therapist Taune for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about the love lessons that shaped them — and the patterns many of us keep repeating without realizing it. They explore how chemistry can masquerade as care, why intensity often feels familiar even when it's unhealthy, and how relationships quietly shift when attraction turns into caretaking. Along the way, they unpack trauma bonding, attunement, playfulness, power dynamics, and what it really takes to sustain intimacy over time. This is not a neat, list-driven episode. It's a real conversation — the long way home — filled with reflection, humor, and uncomfortable truths about love, relationships, and self-abandonment.

Laird Hamilton joins Gabby Reece for an intimate conversation on what it really takes to build a lasting partnership.

About this Episode What if everything you know about love is a myth—built on luck, chance, and hope? The truth is, many of us walk into relationships with big dreams of “happily ever after,” only to find that real connection can feel overwhelming, elusive, or even impossible to sustain. We use words like “respect,” “trust,” and “compassion,” but rarely stop to define what they truly mean for ourselves and our partners. Without a roadmap, couples often end up lost in confusion, miscommunication, and heartbreak. In this episode, you'll discover a fresh, research-backed framework for designing love that actually lasts. You'll learn about the six key ingredients necessary for truly thriving relationships and uncover why love can't survive on feelings alone. By diving into practical strategies, real-world examples, and self-reflection tools, this conversation offers a powerful guide to recognizing what really matters in your connection and how to nurture it, every single day. Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh, Ph.D., is a renowned author, speaker, and thought leader in relationship dynamics.
