What’s your point of view today?
Are you struggling to overcome past hurts and regrets?
Or are you joyfully learning to walk in Newness of Life in Christ?
Your point of view means everything!
If you believe you must change your behavior … or your mate’s behavior … in order to enjoy Life and Love, you’ve got it all wrong!
We are not called to live with a focus on what anyone has done in the past. But that’s what we often do! We spin our wheels trying to make up for our sin … or the sins of others. Or getting someone else to make up for it all. How crazy is that?
The Truth is – because of what Jesus did for us on the Cross … He died for our sins that we might be reconclied to God – we get to choose our point of view …
… and that’s Good News!
We get to choose Life in the Spirit, which means we get to learn how to see Men, Women, and Marriage from God’s point of view. Through the comfort and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we have the choice to co-create a Life that’s Better Than Eden!
How cool is that?
Bottom Line: Living Life in the Spirit means our point of view changes from past-centered to Jesus-centered.
And He always has a more excellent way of looking at things!
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.
~ Deuteronomy 30:19-20a

However, many men withdraw from such a conversation or simply fail to respond. In this webinar, you’ll learn why men stonewall and what you can do about it.
