Family, today many people (specifically in the USA) are gathering with friends and loved ones—sharing food, laughter, competition, and celebration. As followers of Jesus, we don’t step out of our faith when we step into everyday moments like this. We carry His light with us—into living rooms, conversations, and even friendly rivalries. Scripture reminds us: “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) And also: “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31) Whether your team wins or loses, today is an opportunity to model joy, kindness, humility, and good sportsmanship. We can celebrate without tearing others down, enjoy the moment without losing perspective, and reflect Christ in how we speak and respond. As you go about your day, consider: How can I bring peace, joy, and grace into the spaces I’m in today? Enjoy the time. Enjoy the people.And remember—no matter the score, God is still good, and His Kingdom is still advancing through His people.

Family, I want to invite you into something we’re going to walk through slowly and intentionally together. Inside the ITC Community, there’s a book called “Relationship Goals”. Over time, I’m going to share short reflections from it here—not to give everything away, but to open conversations that matter around marriage, family, faith, and covenant. At the heart of this book is a simple truth: our relationships thrive when they’re built on faith, not pressure… on covenant, not convenience. God designed marriage and family with purpose. And when those foundations are strong, everything connected to them—our homes, our churches, even our communities—are strengthened too. If you’re a Premium member and want to read along as we go, you can find the book here: 📍 Classroom → Relationship Goals If you’re not reading along, you’re still very much part of the conversation. These posts are meant to serve the whole family. For now, I’ll ask just one gentle question: Where do you sense God inviting you to grow—personally or relationally—in this season? We’ll take this one step at a time. No rush. No pressure. Just moving forward together.

Scripture often uses simple pictures to reveal deeper truth. Jesus spoke of lamps and oil when describing readiness—not to create fear, but to call us to faithfulness (Matthew 25:1–13). A lamp is only useful if it stays lit, and Scripture tells us that the Word of God is a lamp meant to guide our steps. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105) Over time, it’s easy for light to grow dim—not because we stop believing, but because we stop tending what fuels it. Staying ready isn’t about intensity; it’s about consistency. Remaining in the Word keeps our hearts clear and our direction steady. Today, consider: What is currently fueling my spiritual life—and am I giving attention to what keeps the light burning? God honors a heart that chooses faithfulness, even in quiet, unseen ways. For those reading along with us: This reflection comes from Relationship Goals, available inside the ITC Classroom. You can find it here: 📍 Classroom → Relationship Goals → Chapter 1 → The Foundation for Every Relationship
