It’s not always the big things that damage relationships. Sometimes it’s the small, constant patterns. Scripture gives this picture: “A continual dripping… and a quarrelsome person are alike.” (Proverbs 27:15–16) Not loud. Not dramatic. Just constant. Negativity. Criticism. Always pointing out what’s wrong. Over time, it wears people down. And many don’t even realize they’re doing it. Healthy relationships are not built on constant correction. They are built on encouragement, patience, and love. Today, consider this: What tone do I consistently bring into my relationships? If you’re reading along with us, this is from Chapter 5 of Relationship Goals in the ITC classroom.

There should be something different about us. Not just kindness. Not just doing good things. Something deeper. Jesus said we would be known by our love… but not the kind of love the world understands. A love that comes from being with Him. The early church didn’t have everything figured out. But they had one thing… The presence of God. And when they showed up, things changed. Not because of who they were, but because of what they carried. So the question is, what at do you have to give? Peace? Faith? Strength? Or just words? We can’t give what we don’t carry. And what we carry is always connected to how close we’ve been. This is what Esther’s video goes into in a deeper way. You can watch it RIGHT HERE. Take some time with it. Let it speak to you. Then answer this in the comments: What do you feel like you’ve been carrying lately? 👇

Today, people all over the world are talking about the earth. But as believers, we don’t just see the earth as something to use. We see it as something God created, entrusted, and called good. “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it…” (Psalm 24:1) From the very beginning, God gave mankind responsibility. To steward it. To care for it. To cultivate what He created (Genesis 2:15). This isn’t about elevating creation above the Creator. It’s about honoring the One who made it. Creation points back to Him. “The heavens declare the glory of God…” (Psalm 19:1) Every sunrise, every tree, and every breath of fresh air… it all reveals His nature. But here’s what matters most… We don’t worship the earth. We worship the God who made it. And while we are called to care for what He created, we’re also called to remember that this world is not our final home (Hebrews 13:14). There is a new heaven and a new earth coming (Revelation 21:1). So today is a good day to be thankful, be mindful, and be responsible. But most importantly, be in awe of the Creator. Take a moment today: What is something in creation that reminds you of God? Drop it in the comments 👇

What have you been carrying that you haven’t actually brought to God? Not just thinking about it. Not just hoping it changes. But truly asking Him. A new Tuesday devotional is now available, and this week’s reading gently brings us back to something we can overlook in prayer… the importance of asking. Not out of striving. Not out of pressure. But from relationship with a Father who already knows and still invites us to come. You’ll find the devotional HERE. Take a few quiet minutes with it today. And if you’d like to share afterward: What is one thing you feel led to bring before Him more intentionally this week?

If you’ve been feeling spiritually dry… distant… or just hungry for more of God, we want to point you back to THIS SERVICE. This wasn’t just another message. There was a real invitation to come back to the foundation of our faith. Julie shared on the power of the blood of Jesus… not just as a concept, but as the covering of His love over every part of our lives. A reminder to come back under what He already paid for. Aaron followed with a message on victorious living and hidden manna. What it means to stay aligned with God in your words, your lifestyle, and your devotion… even in a world full of compromise. And throughout the night, worship led by Glory and Esther created space for God’s presence to move in a powerful way. This is one of those services you don’t just watch once. If you’ve been: • feeling spiritually disconnected • struggling to stay consistent • battling compromise or complacency • or just hungry for deeper intimacy with God Go back and sit with THIS. Let it realign you. Let it refresh you. Let it draw you back to Him. After you watch (or rewatch), let us know: What stood out to you the most?
