Sermon Moments
“She brings to the vision the things I can't bring to the vision—so she's helping me in that way, not just domestic duties.”
“A lot of times women get a lot of worth out of what they do, not who they are... God really brought me into his life so that I could add value.”
“What couples need starting off is coaching; what they need individually is counseling to do individual work in therapy to get back to a baseline.”
“How bad relationships make it really hard to have a good life... so super early on I was like, we need some help with this.”
“Dating means gathering data. When you get to the point where you've gathered enough data, that's when you decide if you're ready for commitment.”
